"At first, I was so damn angry after the experience you are about to read that I didn't trust myself to write something coherent. Then, I calmed down and figured that it was an anomaly. I wasn't going to write about this experience, but, with the recent comments coming out of the Organization of the Islamic Conference in Malaysia, I thought that I might be able to shed some light on what we are up against in the world..."
Go read the rest of Me and My Muslim Neighbors Really. Go read it. Unfortunately, Blackfive has no comments. That would have been something to read too!

The Laughing Wolf explains how those of us "cheap skates" who use Blogspot may help in the next blog hacking (and he vows there will be more) by allowing guest bloggers. I'm receptive to that.
AND
"Internap happens to be the upstream of Internetseer.com and sending unsolicited email is clearly against their AUP, which means that Internap just might be interested to know that one of their customers is non-compliant."

Commander Will says: "I think G.W.B. is too liberal. However, to compare Iraq to Vietnam is (I'm trying to control myself here) pretty damn lame, for multiple reasons. First of all, we could have easily won in vietnam with very few casualties if Johnson and McNamara had not tried to micromanage the fighting due to political considerations. Regardless of Eisenhower having sent a few advisors, Kennedy sent a LOT of advisors and troops, and Johnson created the situation for 58,000+ to die needlessly. Those young men did not die because we went to war against communism and an evil dictator, they died because democrats have never met a socialist despot they didn't coddle." See it all here.
AND
Pretty Snarky needs more attention from me. Just found her tonight thru the A-Man. I was hooked the minute I saw my two favorite old actresses featured on the blog page. Nope. Not going to tell you. Wouldn't be prudent. Go look for yourself and give her a hit. Honorable mention also is given to Dorothy Parker and Mae West. In other words, Pretty Snarky will probably be on my upcoming Blog Roll too. Yes, Christy. Definitely a deal!!!!
