Not so Strange Bedfellows Separate
Go over to Skippy’s to read about the divorce of O’reilly and the Orange County Register. This is one of the last papers that would come to mind as editorially opposing the war. But apparently they do.
What are we Fighting For Redux?
When I last visited this subject it was Justice Scalia talking about scaling back individual rights.

Term Limits

Lyrics and more Lyrics
Mike over at Red Letter Day shares the Lyrics to Bob Dylan’s “Neighborhood Bully.” This is an excellent song. Mike might also want to check out some other Bob Dylan Material, for instance, from the 1963 Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, “Masters of War” seems particularly relevant to to current times. It begins:
Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothin’
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it’s your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Go here for the rest.
