Iran - Heading The Wrong Way

Much was made of Iran's new 'president' and his rise from being a terrorist that took part in the seizing of our embassy in 1979 to being a politician. The adjective "respected" need not be used. Apparently he hasn't risen, but instead the qualifications for being the president of Iran appears to have fallen.

The Tuskegee Airmen Are Back In Action

And are touring the Middle East to support our men and women in uniform. It has to be humbling to meet one of these living legends that sought out the opportunity to tour the Middle East to boost morale.

Think about it. These guys are heroes at least three times over. They broke the color barrier for pilots. Their collective combat performance is unparalleled. (They never lost a single bomber to enemy aircraft.) And they had to fight uphill against racism and prejudice the whole time they were doing it.

And now they are going to the Middle East when they are over 80 years old to boost the morale of our military.

Heroes....four times over....and maybe more.

Blogroll Addition

I've been reading Michael Totten's dispatches from Lebanon for some time. I've even linked to a couple of his blog entries.

And I've been meaning to get around to the task of updating my blog roll. I'm still going to get around to it one day.

But for now, I've at least added a link to Mr. Totten's outstanding blog to my blog roll. I guarantee that you will never be board visiting his site. He has a wonderful way with the English language and his travels, trials, and tribulations in Lebanon are most interesting.

If you ever needed proof that the world is really same where ever you go, this is it!! Well, maybe not exactly the same, but the same in that everyone has the same aspirations, hopes, and dreams for themselves and their families.

So, welcome aboard Michael. My 2.38 regular visitors ought to increase the traffic to your site by about 0.0012%.

Oh Mr. Bush????

Well there will be some folks that will enjoy this one. I got a kick out of it, but it really hurt me to watch it. A little reconstructive back surgery will do that to a fellow.

Fun things to do:

• Use the left and right keys to fiddle with the gravity.

• With the gravity way up, he blows right through some of the spheres without stopping. His joints separate.

• With the gravity way down, he floats forever if you toss him up in the air.

• Pull him through a tight spot and watch him squirt across the screen.

• Toss him in the air like a rag doll.....duh.

• More gravity will also make him disappear out of the bottom side of the window until he runs into a bunch of spheres and then the window will blow right by him.....we're talking funny stuff here!

h/t Sharp as a Marble - you'll love Robb's site. Trust me.

Celebrating Death??

It seems that is all the war protesters have on their minds.

This 'toon from Cox & Forkum sums things up nicely.

Inside Howard Dean's Head.....It's Hollow!!!!

Howard Dean has lost it again. Perhaps he never had it to lose. Who knows?? He says he wants to fight for freedom and then he says he wants tougher campaign finance reform laws. WTF???
