Update: Got two more good resources. This from the NYT and a radio program with some Akron area monks which includes a great overview at the beginning.
The situation in Burma (Myanmar) is one we should all be watching and stay informed about. If you are behind on it, this might […]

Well, not directly anyway. Speaking about the uprisings in Burma in a White House press briefing:
Q And the protests, themselves, seem to have been stilled. What do you make of that?
MS. PERINO: Well, unfortunately, intimidation and force can chill peaceful demonstrations. And reports about very innocent […]

VoteVets blasts Rush for phony soldier comments:

Maybe he was all hopped up on hillbilly heroin again, who knows. Maybe he was a Starfleet Commander once in a Star Trek club so he thinks that he “served” and has any credibility on the subject. It’s hard tellin’. It’s funny watching him spin ’round […]

Are you freakin’ kidding me? Hunter was serious?
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the `Restore Patriotism to University Campuses Act’.
…
SEC. 3. DENIAL OF FUNDS.
(a) Denial of Funds for Permitting State Terrorist Access to Campus- No funds described in subsection […]

Rush Limbaugh called soldiers who oppose the war - like the two young men who wrote the NY Times editorial and then ended up KIA - “phony soldiers“. This is, without a doubt, objectively worse than calling Petraeus “Betray Us”. Of course, Rush called Sen. Hagel “Senator Betray Us” back in January.
Nearly 4 […]

This article by Rick Perlstein perfectly underlines what a bunch of sissies we’ve been over the entire Ahmadinejad visit. I’ve made this comparison elsewhere - why can’t be behave like we did when Nikita “We will bury you” Khrushchev visited during the height of the Cold War in 1959?
Nikita Khrushchev disembarked from his plane […]

What a friggin’ waste of time. Senate Republicans (and possibly House Republicans as well, if Mr. Boehner gets his way) would rather waste everyone’s time passing resolutions condemning MoveOn rather than discussing stuff that’s, you know, important.
The US Senate has voted to condemn an advertisement attacking the country’s top commander in Iraq as […]

The Senate was unable to muster enough votes to overcome a filibuster. A sham “non-binding” GOP bill was also shot down.

Update: Jill at WLST has a similar take (though less direct).
In her sickening tirade against anti-war actress Sally Field, Michelle Malkin indicates that she believes that there are sheep moms and lion moms. I have to admit that to a certain point, I agree with her. Some moms are […]

It’s funny ’cause it’s true. In a “laugh so you don’t cry” kind of way, of course.
(The answer to the title questions is, of course, “no”.)

Unreal.
Fred Kagan yesterday went to National Review — home to countless tough guy warriors like him who fight nothing — to argue against Senator Webb’s bill. There is no need to give our troops more time away from the battlefield, Kagan types. Besides, doing that would be too administratively difficult (”this amendment would actually require […]

Paul Krugman:
To understand what’s really happening in Iraq, follow the oil money, which already knows that the surge has failed.
Synopsis: American business Hunt Oil Company, headed by a man who is a close Bush ally and member of the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. He is presumably well-informed on the situation in Iraq. And […]

Thank Poku for Jon Stewart. Hilarious (and informative for our pro-war readers).

Bonus John Hodgman hilarity after the jump. It’s worth it.
