Tech Central gives us some great insight into the battle of Fallujah and how it will and is being fought, but it is brutally honest in it's assessement:

"The coming days promise to be ugly, confused, rife with rumors. There will be mistakes on the part of Coalition forces -- some possibly costly in casualties. And despite the ascendancy of American battlefield technology, the depths of the Islamic radicals' treachery may still hold surprises. But the "Islamic Republic of Fallujah" is now drowning appropriately enough in its own blood. "

Pray for our Warriors.


I am amused at the 2 different camps of democrats trying to figure out this election. One camp is intent on insulting people of faith with as much condescension and ridicule as they can muster. The other camp is falling over it's pews trying to figure out a way to convince people with deep held moral values to vote against those values and vote democrat. Kerry tried hard to talk the talk, but people of faith kind of like to see a person walk the walk as well.


I have seen many argue that Bush's values, in their opinion, don't match what they see as 'moral values." Just as those of us on the right said that Kerry's values didn't seem to reflect what we perceived as "moral values." But the difference the left didn't seem to catch was that although you might could argue the differences, Bush stood by his values. If he said he believed it, he lived it. He worked at seeing it accomplished. From winning the war on terror to refusing to re define marriage. Kerry, on the other hand, would say he believed in one thing, but didn't live the faith he purported to have. He said he thought abortion immoral, yet wouldn't even vote to ban Partial Birth Abortion. He said he was against gay marriage, but no one really believed that. Gays supported him overwhelmingly. I could give many more examples, but you get my meaning.

Kerry was like your date on prom night. He promises he will love you tomorrow, but you know once he gets your...umm....vote, he will forget you by breakfast and never call.

Lucky for us, most voters kept their prom dress on.

I saw Al Sharpton on Fox and Friends this morning plugging his new Spike TV show "I Hate My Job." He takes 8 young guys for a career makeover. In an interview with NewYorkMetro.com Sharpton explains the show and why he did it:

:One of the things that drives me to do this kind of thing is, more young people are influenced by Comedy Central than by 60 Minutes, so if you understand that, you understand why Al Sharpton would do a reality show," he said firmly. "Also, I happen to agree with the concept of people looking to discover what they're really on the planet for, because I had to go through that."

I always wonder why some people refer to themselves in 3rd person. It makes me think they are really listening to the voices in their head and simply repeating what those voices are saying. Why else would a person just not say "I?"

Now we all know why Al Sharpton would do a reality show. It's called the Benjamins and the bling bling. And you can't really blame him, he did discover what he was on the planet for long ago.....pure entertainment.

Speaking of Fox and Friends. If you aren't watching that in the mornings you are missing great TV.

Sharpton on how his SNL appearance changed the general perception of him:

"The right wing would love to project me as a hater and all of that. But I think America that night said, "This guy ain't no hater!"

No, no, no.......we say "hustler", not hater.

We rightwingers are just always misquoted.

And considering he's slated to head out to the Coast to meet with NBC, ABC, CBS, UPN, and the WB about shows that he might executive-produce, I think our way of projecting Rev. Sharpton is dead on.

Describing his meeting with President Bush as Bush spoke at the Urban League, the Rev went on to say:

"..... then he says to me, "You know, it's hard to run for president, and I give you a lot of credit, Al." So, how you gonna get mad at a guy who says that to you? You know you're on TV, so do you smile and act respectful or do you do the ghetto? I mean, what do you do?"

You will all be relieved to know that Sharpton did not do the ghetto.
