An Invitation
Like a few members of the VRWC(TM) I subscribe to various leftist organizations email alerts, just to see what the “enemy” is thinking:
And the LA Times, CNN, the Seattle PI, and the New York Times are balanced?Dear MoveOn member,
Seven days a week, 24 hours a day, Fox News Channel turns Republican talking points into news headlines. Now Uncovered director Robert Greenwald—working with a group of Fox-monitoring MoveOn members—has put together a documentary film called Outfoxed that exposes Fox for what it is: partisan spin, not news.
I’ll pass, thanks. There’s just something about Al Franken that makes me want to punch him in the face. Not to mention the stink of hippies makes me nauseous.This Sunday evening, July 18th, you’re invited to be among the first to see Outfoxed at one of over 2,500 house parties across the nation, hosted by MoveOn and Common Cause members. Then join together in a coast-to-coast conference call with comedian and radio host Al Franken and the movie’s director, Robert Greenwald. We’ll kick off an exciting campaign to take on Fox for its partisan reporting and deceptive slogan “Fair and Balanced.”

It’s shrinking!!!
The Coalition is shrinking...oh the humanity!!!
“As of today, our head count is down from 51 to 43.”
43? I thought it was just...us in Iraq. According to the loons out there.
Ms Arroyo’s handling of the crisis has drawn criticism. In a second day of protests demanding that the Philippines withdraw from Iraq, about 300 left-wing activists were dispersed yesterday by baton-wielding police outside Manila’s Quiapo Church. Several people were reported injured.
I do imagine we’ll see this as November approaches, or even the conventions...just on a bigger scale here. When in doubt, the left resorts to this sort of thing when they’re message is drowned out.
Operation Give Robbed
Dean Esmay and Chief Wiggles are asking the blogosphere for help. It seems a shipping company in Atlanta has absconded (polite word for stole) with 30,000 dollars that Operation Give gave them as a deposit for shipping expenses.

Let’s get organized people.
What Liberal Media?
Oh, that liberal media.The media “wants Kerry to win” and so “they’re going to portray Kerry and Edwards as being young and dynamic and optimistic” and “there’s going to be this glow about” them, Evan Thomas, the Assistant Managing Editor of Newsweek, admitted on Inside Washington over the weekend

Another One…
Down:
Quite possibly a member of bin Laden’s inner circle, he is at least related, by marriage, to a member of bin Laden’s inner circle.July 13 (Bloomberg)—A suspected al-Qaeda loyalist surrendered to Saudi authorities under the kingdom’s amnesty offer to wanted militants, the Saudi government said.
Khalid bin Odeh bin Mohammed al-Harbi, also known as Abu Suleiman al-Makki, surrendered at the Saudi Embassy in Tehran, becoming the third suspect to do so under the royal amnesty. He had been living along the Iranian-Afghan border, according to a statement issued by the Saudi Embassy in Washington.
The amnesty ``reflects the kingdom’s absolute commitment and preparedness to fully eradicate the scourge of terrorism using all resources and powers available to it,’’ the statement said.
Saudi Arabia is trying to weaken militants after attacks against foreign workers in the largest oil-exporting nation.
Al-Makki was identified as the disabled sheikh who appeared in a videotape with al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden that was released by the Pentagon in December 2001, the Cairo-based al- Ahram Web site reported at the time, citing unidentified Arabs. Al-Makki is married to the daughter of Ayman al-Zawahiri, bin Laden’s top aide, al-Ahram said.
Now, let’s see if the Saudi’s allow us to interrogate him.

What the hell…?
Couldn’t post this on the thread below, so I’ll do it here:
I give my props to the people who put boots on ground...I didn’t have it bad, as the US rules the waves; I didn’t have to catch small arms fire like some of the Marines did.
I did my time. Happy to do it.
And I will admit that I didn’t like getting shot at. You LIKE getting shot at? That, my friend, isn’t bravery....it’s insanity. However, it sounds as if you have no experience in the matter, so I’ll let your uninformed opinion stay that way. You just keep thinking you’re on the ball.
However, what branch were you in, again? If you were, and you can show me my failings, I’d like to learn...we members of the VRWC need to keep evolving.
Or, you are a no-courage, hypocritical pus sucker who rarely leaves his room, plays with himself and comes into a tissue while reading the writings of Robert Fisk and/or watching MPEG’s of animals mating, and still lives with his parents.
What you seem to me to be is a young person with few friends (and the friends you have think EXACTLY like you do), a stash of Penthouse Letters magazines, a $9.25 an hour job (that you only work on the weekends and/or on third shift), and parents that don’t pay much attention to you, so focused are they on maintaining your fragile self-esteem. The three credit hours of courses you are taking at the local community college (down from the 12 you signed up for...you dropped the other three classes) aren’t helping you towards your undeclared major, and you’re getting bored playing Counterstrike and your PS-2.
In short, your life is pathetic, unrewarding, and you know it. You hate your hair, your face, and you are angry at everyone because they don’t understand you, because every thought you have is original and never before thought up. Your girlfriend wants more than you can give, you see no end to your current cycle, and, therefore, you are angry at the rest of the Establishment, because your friends, and the rest of the Blame Pimps, tell you to.
However, GWB didn’t do this to your world...you did. Get off your a$$ and think freely...not like your same-age buddies tell you to (because you are conforming to what they are doing...and you’re not a conformist, right?), but because of the fact that true knowledge is best gained through experience.
I’ve been a huge lib, and it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work anywhere it’s tried. Socialism in Europe is slowly killing that whole culture. North Korea is a wreck, China is in trouble (long-range trouble), and the UN is a corrupt organization.
Get with it...take a shower, quit pouting, and get ‘er done.
