I've got nothing to say about what's going on with His Smugness showing the flag overseas. The riots & protests being shown on CNN and MSNBC should give us pause, however. There is also little I can add to all the Bush/Chertoff/Brown fingerpointing going on over the Katrina response. Both Pacifica and Air America Radio have been giving all this decent coverage, though naturally coming from the liberal/progressive viewpoint.

On a personal note, if you have any interest in my own shady past you can check out photos of the five U.S. Navy ships on which I served during my eight years on active duty. I've posted them over the last few weeks over at SHOT'S SHACK with a comment or two.
