- Drudge has a story of 24 using nukes this season. I have never been able to commit to a show like that, marriage is tough enough, but I was planning on starting this year. With that, this "nuke" scare is brilliant marketing and a deserved wake up call. Politicians in DC are getting lazy again on terrorism and the entrainment industry is good for a cause now and then. I may disagree with the left wing nut jobs, but they do raise awareness and provoke thought, so let's see some mushroom clouds.
- Brooke has a great Jack Bauer list of jokes going to boot
- Naill Ferguson of the LA Times uses Churchill to support his new thought:
Yet even if the president were in a position to send in 215,000 extra men, I
doubt they would suffice to halt the civil war. Why? Because, having been the
war makers who precipitated Baghdad's descent into anarchy, U.S. forces now lack
the legitimacy to be regarded as peacemakers.Oh yeah, either have troops who are making a serious effort to help the Iraqi people, or put the organization that allowed the Iraqi people spiral into despair by allowing the food for oil scandal or the genocide of the marsh people of Iraq, Rwanda, Croats, the Congo ...
It's time to send in the blue helmets.I'll post more today ... Happy MLK day

2 exciting games yesterday. I thought Seattle was going to win but Chicago's defense held up when needed most. It should be a good game next week against New Orleans.
Nothing personal but...go Saints!
Me too Obob. Gotta pull for the Saints. It just happens that the geographic partisanship we have prevents us from coming together on mankind's greater issues such as football.
Not that I am a big NFL guy. I think the efforts of the NFL to make all the teams equal has resulted in mediocrity and boredom. Sure there are great plays and great players, and even a few exciting games (If the battle of two 8-8 teams can be termed "exciting") but where are the Cinderella teams? Where is the "from out of nowhere upset the team with the 20 game win streak" excitement that you get in college?
Sorry, off on a tangent there.
Jack is back, and I was wide eyed last night and can't wait to get home and see it tonight. I have some political commentary related, but I will save it for my place tomorrow.
Comparing colonial Iraq to the situation today is nonsense. Besides, he completely overlooked a significant fact: The 1920 insurgency in Iraq was defeated. This is why the liberal media can garner no confidence. They chose, once again, to find the part that makes the US look bad. Never mind that Churchill defeated the insurgency, and that he led Britain against impossible odds against Germany.
They might love this Churchill letter, but they have forgotten his most important speech: "Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never--in nothing, great or small, large or petty--never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."
Obob, you've GOT TO stay with 24! I know I'm biased and all, but you will be an addict...
Hey Obob..I'm still behind on 24 myself..gosh so much to catch up on apparently!
I would cheer for the Saints if they wern't playing my beloved Bears, but loyalty is loyalty.
Maybe bin Laden was right, we don't have the stomach for a long slugfest. It may be time for another sucker punch to remind us of the evil we are fighting. Tragically that results int he death of Americans ... wait, our brave solidiers are in Iraq right now fighting for their lives and ours. Rather pathetic of the media to forget that.
All the more reason to watch 24, Obob. I am mentally exhausted after watching tonight.
