"It Makes A Fellow Proud To Be A Soldier" -- Tom Lehrer

Many thanks to TacJammer and Blackfive for noting this story.

Folks....stuff like THIS is why kids look up to soldiers in this country.

Your orders: Read the whole thing. If your heart doesn't stand up and salute this young man, report at once to your local organ transplant clinic and start filling out the paperwork. That is all.

I'll bet NAMBLA is just loving this....

Brand spankin' new from Mike Adams today. (For those who don't know him yet, he is one of those rarest breed of human beings.....a college professor who DOESN'T live with his head up his ass.)

Anyway....apparently, UNC-Greensboro (the school wherein he doth profess) has a VERY liberal approach to employment standards. Read on.

A lonely voice in the desert....

I have heard many news and political personalities (most notably Jim Quinn) calling for Muslims to start policing their own religion from within, before others start taking care of it from without. And it makes sense to me, even if I am just some white guy up in the West Virginia hills. If there is a problem with whatever group you happen to be in, it is usually much preferable to solve the problem "in-house" if at all possible, am I right?

Anyway...until today, I have never heard of any one person answering this particular call.

Fox's daytime talk program "DaySide", however, seems to have found one.

His name is Ahmed Nassef and, according to Fox, he has been making the case for the overhaul of his beloved Islam for some time now.

You'll have to have watched the program itself for the particulars, as I am unable to find a link to the show's footage as of yet.
In the meantime, however, I did a little digging and found out that Nassef runs his own website on the subject, called MuslimWakeUp.

Folks, this site is a really interesting read. The top article of the moment was written by a woman who relates the story of when she went to a Muslim youth conference a decade and a half ago, and there is much more to learn here.
You won't generally find stories like this in your morning coffee, friends. Check it out.

We're Doin' It Again!!!

Sorry for not writing more this weekend....Me and the lady are renewing our vows soon (I know, it's only been ten years, but what the hell), and we were out scouting around for a good locale.

And, brother, we found it.

This place is gorgeous....and the leaves are JUST starting to turn. I can't wait.
