Accident?

Looked like cleanup of a bad accident, possibly involving a cop, at the intersection of West 21st and South Tyler in Covington about 12:30 a.m.

Hope nobody was badly hurt.

Iraq is a quagmire - for al Qaida

From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, seen at Gulf Coast Pundit:

Jihadis, money and weapons were poured into Iraq. All for naught. Al-Qaida has been driven from every neighborhood in Baghdad, Maj. Gen. Joseph Fil, the U.S. commander there, said Nov. 7. This follows the expulsion of al-Qaida from two previous “capitals” of its Islamic Republic of Iraq, Ramadi and Baquba.[...]
Al-Qaida’s support in the Muslim world has plummeted, partly because of the terror group’s lack of success in Iraq, more because al-Qaida’s attacks have mostly killed Muslim civilians.[...]“The situation has changed so unmistakably and so swiftly that we should be reading proud headlines daily,” said Ralph Peters, a retired Army lieutenant colonel. “Where are they?”

Read the whole thing. Then ask yourself if journalists deserve any respect for the lying, twisting, and obfuscation they've done about the war.

Recall the themes of nearly all the news about Iraq and our troops, according to most reporters: Our soldiers are savages, Iraqis hate us, the world hates us, 9/11 was our own fault, Iraq is another Vietnam, we'll never win, blah blah blah. Barely a word about the defeat of al Qaida in Bakuba, Ramadi and Baghdad, or the deaths of terrorists over there. Thousands of words about the few atrocities committed by a tiny number of our troops, and deaths of civilians and our soldiers.

I spit on you, Mainstream Media.

Seriously injured

We've heard that a local teacher was seriously injured in an automobile accident this a.m., and will post more info when we have confirmation.

Or, I pray, we'll be back with an apology that it was a misunderstanding.

Trial delayed in St. Bernard pet killings

Excerpt:

A St. Bernard Parish sheriff’s deputy and a former deputy are set to stand trial separately early next year on felony aggravated cruelty to animals charges stemming from the alleged fatal shooting of dogs on the streets of St. Bernard in the days immediately following Hurricane Katrina.

Clifford “Chip’’ Englande, a sergeant assigned to administrative duties, and Michael Minton, who is no longer working for the Sheriff’s Office, pleaded innocent in February and were scheduled to be tried together this week.

As it stands now, Minton will be tried Jan. 29 by a jury in state District Judge Robert Buckley’s courtroom and Englande will be tried Feb. 14 by the judge, a spokeswoman for state Attorney General Charles Foti said Wednesday. Link

Let's hope justice prevails.

Lines run amok!

I dunno what happened, but the lines between posts have grown. Please disregard while I try to figure out how to truncate them :-).

Islamic Army turns against al Qaeda - at Blackfive:

It was not a forgone conclusion that the population would rise up against these foreign ass-hats that want to not only kill us, but to enslave and kill them too. [...]The throat cutters from Asscrackistan, or where ever they came from are in trouble, big trouble.
