Vader, did you know?
A Star Wars take on a popular Christmas tune. Very ingenious, I think
Don’t Remember Hearing About This…
It’s been far too long since I”ve wandered over to Babalublog…. http://babalublog.com/2011/10/our-tax-dollars-at-work-3/ State Dept. uses $70,000 of our tax dollars to buy copies of Obama’s book, “Dreams From My Father“. Money goes to book’s publisher. Royalties go to Obama. I know $70K is a drop in the bucket, but still…
Great Take on the OWS Crowd
Found at Scratching to Escape: a teaser: Father: “Son I saw you on the news with a sign protesting Wall Street.” Son: “Yeah Dad. It was cool. We sat around, told them how we feel and let them know that Wall Street won’t get away with what they’re doing. In fact, I’m calling from the… More »
MSM v. Palin
Looks like the cartoonist should have added another wolf named “Air America.” Or maybe a coyote/jackal would have been a better critter choice for that. h/t Baldilocks for the cartoon, Hot Air for the additional wolf name.
Another Sarah Palin Post
Ran across this on OpinionJournal.com yesterday… Notable & Quotable September 9, 2008 Howard Fineman writing in Newsweek on the Republican vice-presidential candidate: Democrats dare not issue [Sarah] Palin a pass—she’s too dangerous a foe. Normally vice presidential candidates fade into the background. Nobody is expecting that with Palin; indeed, her newfound celebrity has made even… More »
The Anchoress Hits One Out of the Park
Read me. NOW. I’ve never watched any of the Godfather movies, but even I recognize the brilliance in The Anchoress’ latest piece. She titled it: The Humbling: “The One” goes to Don Clinton, and not only is it hilarious, it’s replete with sources for each of her points. Funny & factual – who can ask… More »
Baldilocks Gives a Helping Hand (and needs one, as well)
Baldilocks has a new project underway. Seems that once upon a time (clear back in 2006), a certain senator of Kenyan descent made a promise to a Kenyan village. The village school needed help, and the Senator, while visiting there, promised that help would come – He would make it happen. Oddly enough, the village… More »
The Lost DaVinci
Or is it just hidden? There’s some interesting stuff going on over in Italy, related to discovering artworks that have been painted over. Technology continues to amaze me (I’m easily amazed, but even so…). Seems that once upon a time, DaVinci began a mural – a battle scene. For centuries, common wisdom was that he’d… More »
Discuss Amongst Yourselves…
…Because I’m really curious to see some thoughts on this. In Peggy Noonan’s column today (Friday), she compares the Old America and the New America. She’s talking about the election, of course, but I found her thoughts interesting. … 2008 will also prove in part to be a decisive political contest between the Old America… More »
It’s a war?
I’m hoping Sgt Mom will turn her brilliant sarcastic wit loose on this topic, but until then, in case you’ve not seen it yet… I read about it over at Baldilocks, and then I followed her link to the transcript of the interview with Time’s managing editor, whose justification was the following (all emphases mine):… More »
Vietnam Veterans Memorial Defaced
Article Volunteers and National Park Service rangers on Saturday discovered a “light, oily” substance on the memorial’s wall panels and the paving stones in front of it, Bill Line, a Park Service spokesman, said yesterday. The substance, which has not been identified, was spread over an area of about 50 to 60 feet, mostly on… More »
Winds of War
Interesting article in this morning’s OpinionJournal.com. It’s not all that different from points that our very own Sgt Mom has made, on occasion. The article, written by Joshual Muravchik, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, is titled: Winds of War: Iran is making a mistake that may lead the Middle East into a… More »
A New Memorial is Dedicated Tomorrow
On June 12, 2007, a new memorial will be dedicated in Washington, D.C. Almost 20 years have passed from concept to reality, 14 years since then-President Clinton signed a bill donating land. The monument for the memorial is a replica of the “Goddess of Democracy” statue erected by the Chinese students at Tiananmen Square. The… More »
R.I.P. Master Sergeant Wert
From FoxNews.com Master Sergeant Michael Wert, a Marine stationed at Cherry Point, was on vacation. He and his family were soaking up the sun at Atlantic Beach when he noticed two boys in trouble. They were drowning. Wert ran into the water, swimming to the boys to help them. His wife ran to call 911.… More »
Rambo is an Afghani
Sgt Hook tells us a story about an Afghan hero, who saved lives. He got it from an email sent to him by a longtime reader. The email was from an Army Captain currently in Afghanistan. Anyway, there is this one Afghan that we call Rambo. We have actually given him a couple of sets… More »
OK, now this bothers me…
From the Telegraph: Britons flying to America could have their credit card and email accounts inspected by the United States authorities following a deal struck by Brussels and Washington. By using a credit card to book a flight, passengers face having other transactions on the card inspected by the American authorities. Providing an email address… More »
Here’s a different way to pass the time….
I’d love to see what Julia could do with this one. DIRECTIONS 1. Take five books off your bookshelf. 2. Book #1 — first sentence 3. Book #2 — last sentence on page fifty 4. Book #3 — second sentence on page one hundred 5. Book #4 — next to the last sentence on page… More »
Spirit of America still standing fast
Today’s Opinion Journal online has an editorial by Daniel Henninger about Jim Hake’s Spirit of America. I love his subtitle: “Cut and Run is Not in Their Vocabulary.” It is ironic that despite the years of our daily engagement in these places, the “information age” has brought us so little knowledge about the people of… More »

Other Memorial Day Blogging
A La, over at Blonde Sagacity, has a Memorial Day post that includes suggestions of how to put the “Memorial” back into the day. She also lists out various wars since WWI, with number of deaths. Paying homage to all who made the ultimate sacrifice for this country (always, but especially today): 1917-1918 World War… More »
Always Remember
Americans are often accused of thinking we are the only warriors in a battle – we know we’re not, but sometimes we forget to say that out loud. If you’re on the other side of the international date line, it’s ANZAC Day. So thank you to the Aussies and Kiwis who fought (and died) for… More »
War Protestor makes good in Military
I was wandering by Blackfive’s blog this morning, and ran across an interesting post. Seems there’s a Hungarian immigrant, one Andras Elder, whose parents escaped to the US with their two kids back in 1980 (you remember – when Hungary was a communist country). Young Andras grew up, went to college, got a double Masters’… More »
Things that make you go hmmm….
Baldilocks points us to a UPI story about one of former president Bill Clinton’s chauffeurs. Seems that while 3 cars were waiting for Clinton to arrive at Newark Airport, a Port Authority cop checked their license plate numbers. Turns out one car belonged to a Pakistani native who was a wanted man. He skipped out… More »
