Susan Katz Keating, who we support Best Hidden Gem in the Weblog Awards, has a piece up about the decision by DoD that the Purple Heart is not appropriate in cases of PTSD. It has already gotten a comment from Troy (Bouhammer) and Mrs G. agreeing with DoD. This is an issue where is is tough to say no to the many great troops who have been affected by PTSD, but the traditions that have ...

Well one of them, they commit so many it is tough to keep up. Here is video of them using ambulances, some with UN logos, to transport their gun-toting thugs. Of course they wouldn't have to so this if it weren't for the Zionist oppression. Same reason they have been slaughtering Fatah supporters and hiding weapons in mosques and hiding out while putting women and children on their rooftops.

Perry De Havilland of the always readable and thinkable Samizdata has a piece about how to stop America's slide into Eurotrash. W has failed the country miserably by allowing Bailoutistan to happen on his watch. Republicans are supposed to be the party of fiscal restraint and small government. HA! He has let us down and worse he has made handouts to incompetent companies palatable to much of the electorate. Shame on him and shame on ...

Brilliant barely begins to cover this. From Chuck Z and his Code Monkey.I was trolling around on the dark side of the internet today to see how the hippies were responding to Gaza. I decided to see how the nitwits in pink were reacting and typed what I thought was their web page address into the address bar.

His last night as anchor of Special Report was tonight. That ends any possibility of watching a serious news show not run by the left for me. No offense Bret Baier, but you remind me of Blagoevich. FOX is right of center and I think Hume was as well. He ran a news show that the rest of us could watch without cursing at the screen. There is no gravitas left on TV news, I'll ...
