Also, this blog will soon become a milblog, as I welcome a new poster, FASTAC 6.

Well, no one is reading this blog, so this is just going to be my forum to vent. Some idiot in LA drives his SUV onto the tracks and then chickens out of a suicide at the last minute? WTF? He couldn't drive away? No a bunch of people are dead, and a bunch more are injured. Man I hope he gets life. That'll teach him to try to commit suicide. BTW the Marine helo crash in Iraq, I notice that the MSM is more concerned with racking up the death toll than in the grand tragedy of an unfortunate accident. It's like their rooting for the guys in black dresses with RPGs or something.

Go figure, it looks like Abdul Salami-Salami and his buddies Deten a-tor and Pla a-stic (of the explosive temper) are a bit worried about what happens when democracy comes to Iraq.

Insurgents Attack Polling Places

Honest officer...I was just coming out to register. I don't know how all these bomb making tools got in my truck.

Right. On Iraqi Election day, help our soldiers by praying for their safety, praying for the good fortunes of Iraq, and praying that Abdul's AK misfires.

Russian Lawmakers Target Jewish Groups

I really like this line:

"It is possible to say that the entire democratic world today is under the monetary and political control of international Judaism, which high-profile bankers are openly proud of," the letter says."

Where's my cut?
What's that old saying, for every Jew, a .22?

UPDATE:

Little Green Footballs has the story as well, looks like Charles beat me to the punch

I picked the name Herbert Sobel for a couple of reasons. Cpt. Sobel, who died in 1988, is/was my 2nd cousin once removed. Stephen Ambrose vilified him in his book Band of Brothers, an otherwise excellent account of the actions of E Co. 2nd of the 506 PIR during WWII. But Mr. Ambrose neglected to ask Sobel's family about the man, instead choosing to immortalize him in history based solely on the accounts of the men he trained. As a result, the popular culture version of Herbert Sobel from HBO's miniseries is that of a man who is a martinet, and nothing more. Although Mr. Ambrose is also dead, making any revisions of his book unlikely, I would point out that Sobel's relatives remember him as a troubled person who felt it was his duty to push his men to the limit for their benefit, and who could not understand their ill-concealed resentment. I'll go into this in more detail as time allows, but I'll finish by noting that the survivors of E company, by all the accounts I can find, overwhelmingly credit their survival to the harsh training of Herbert Sobel. The Lesson? History is written by the winners and by the survivors, so do your best to outlive your enemies and maybe you'll get a fair entry into the history books.

No one is going to read this, but here I am. I'll try to have links to the really good blogs up later, and this will be a hub for good reading and my rants.

UPDATE:
Some good links posted. Still working on the construction of this site.
