Gun pron and good guys
Kevin reports that the good guys have outflanked the hoplophobic FeyPal, meaning you can enter the raffle for a dandy 1911 clone on line. The details are at The Smallest Minority, where you'll also find some graphic images of a Para in various stages of dress. Viewer discretion is advised.
Better men
I wonder if the texting dotcomers of twittering America could produce even ten divisions of men of this caliber from the mill run of its citizens.
This D-Day collection has a number of June 6, 1944 photographs most of us have never seen.
These things are moving. I especially like picture number 44, a D-Day anniversary shot that captures the irony of which mid-century Americans were capable even after ten years of depression and three of slaughter.
We owe the MSM, specifically the Denver Post, for putting this collection together, and my buddy Al in Rhode Island for alerting some of us to it.

...its ugly head
Senator Martinez tosses in the towel, and Governor Crist gets to name a replacement.
The guv is getting plenty of advice, including this:
"U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., said she hoped Crist would appoint a Hispanic to follow in Martinez's footsteps...". (AP)
What a racist, bigoted thing to say, Ileana. You imply that Hispanics need opportunistic appointments because they are too dumb or too lazy to get out there and lie, cheat, and steal their way into office, just like the pallid politicians.
Oooooh, That Smarts
The feds say we must do away with children's books published before 1985 in order to avoid the carnage we used to experience when kids licked the lead out of the ink in "Lassie" and similar tomes. Surely you recall that the near-zero survival rate of literate 10-year-olds a generation and more back. Who can forget the mass funerals of pre-teen innocents in the wake of "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish." The bodies were stacked high in the corridors of children's libraries everywhere.
And you're not gonna change my mind, but if you happen to disagree, you probably will like a Tamara take on DeeCee's designation of Big Little Books as a pandemic in the making:
