Having volunteered for Iraq, Mark Daily was killed in January by an I.E.D. Dismayed to learn that his pro-war articles helped persuade Daily to enlist, the author measures his words against a family's grief and a young man's sacrifice. Link.via Gulf Coast Pundit
There was a uniform crackdown at Bogalusa Middle the other day. Big deal in the city schools, wearing the uniform and wearing it properly. Bunch of kids were pulled out of class to be written up for such minutiae as wearing socks that didn't show over their shoes.
I'm all for discipline, but with poor academic performance, it doesn't make sense to further lower kids' instructional time over what they're wearing.
How 'bout a sign around their neck labeled "violator" instead, and send a note home?
From The Hill:
“The amount of money that has been wasted on these so-called ‘recovery’ efforts has been mind-boggling,” said Tancredo... Citing administration figures, the lawmaker said that $114 billion has been spent on the effort... The lawmaker criticized in particular the amount that has been wasted through fraud and abuse, estimated at $1 billion.
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,From Union Maid, by Woody Guthrie
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union.
You can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union.
I'm sticking to the union, 'til the day I die.
An outstanding article about media bias in reporting on the war.
Obviously, we can't expect Big Media to police itself. They're too busy publishing forged documents as true, ditto using faked photos, and hiring liars.
All to advance their America-hating, jihadi-loving agenda. Older readers will recall the similarity with coverage of Vietnam.
UPDATE: The Daily News also a bit truth-challenged.
We have heard that several area young people were injured in a car accident, one of them seriously.
Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
