We don't need a Constitutional amendment to ban flag-burning. The law of natural selection already takes care of the problem for us. Case in point: A Pakistani protestor set himself on fire burning a U.S. flag this week.
Osama bin Laden has become an accidental laughing stock due to his association with Muppets. W
How would the media have covered D-Day if it were today? Rich Galen has a brilliant Mullings today.
So, there you have it. The Allied Expeditionary Forces will, in fact, invade Europe not at Pas de Calais as the American public had been lead to believe, but at Normandy. And, that attack will take place either tomorrow or the next day, depending upon the weather.
Fortunately, we haven't relied on element of surprise to defeat the Taliban. W
FoxNews reports that thrash band Anthrax has issued a press release regretting the turn of recent events that have made the band's name suddenly "not so cool."
Before the tragedy of September 11th the only thing scary about Anthrax was our bad hair in the 80's and the "Fistful Of Metal" album cover. Most people associated the name Anthrax with the band, not the germ. Now in the wake of those events, our name symbolizes fear, paranoia and death. Suddenly our name is not so cool.
Hang in there, guys. What we really need is a biological agent named "N'Sync." W

It begins: Airstrikes in Afghanistan. Significantly, the first air drops have included humanitarian supplies such as food and first aid.
I have been thinking about the future of Afghanistan. What happens when the Taliban has been eradicated? Will the United States repeat the mistakes of the past, by abandoning the region to its own misery, or will we repeat the successes of our past, by launchng a reconstruction effort like we did in Japan and Germany after World War II? The potential benefits of such a "Marshall Program" in Asia seem compelling.
First, we can avoid the prospect of Afghanistan becoming once again a safe haven for terrorists. Second, the formation of a U.S.-friendly, democratic state in the region will give us a strategic foothold for our dealings both with the Middle East and with the rest of Asia. A re-built Afghanistan can serve both as a military ally and a trading partner. Third, the Afghan people by and large don't support the Taliban. If we both eliminate the Taliban but also stay behind to clean up the mess, and get the Afghans back on track, they might- just might - be grateful and loyal for it. We can guarantee our continued strategic presence through continued support of Afghan political and economic stability.
The consequences of simply pulling out almost inevitably lead to more warfare against America. That, we cannot allow. W
Sorry for the long silence. I've been holding a number of posts in the reserve queue, and finally had time to publish them today. Enjoy. W
