If you haven’t already done so, you should check out this dispatch from Michael Yon. He took a break from Afghanistan and headed to Holland for a ceremony that takes place over there every year in celebration of the veterans who liberated them in World War II.

Lots of pictures and commentary by Michael.

Weekend Reading… Saturday, Oct 17 2009 

Daily Reading List 1IDVET 05:44

Here are some American Thinker articles for your weekend perusal:

The NFL’s Diversity Problem

Start with the veritable exclusion of Asian-American and, even more incredibly, Mexican-American men from the NFL.

War without a War President?

Is Barack Obama up to being a war president?

Barry honey, can we talk about Afghanistan?

More dithering is simply not an option. There are only two ways to go here, either all in or all out.

Why Obama’s Poll Numbers Have Stopped Falling

Popularity and policy in an era of diminished expectations.

The Seduction Of Lindsey Graham

Graham has been seduced by the left. He has adopted one of their most successful tactics, promising one thing while delivering quite the opposite.

Theory and Practice

We have a president that is so short on practice and so long on theory that he seems to be entertaining theories that can only be classified as world class in their stupidity.

The monster behind the mask

Halloween takes on a new meaning as we face a monster of lies and deceit.

Juan Cole Between Madison and the Mullahs

One of the most politically driven Middle East studies professors in the U.S. is behind an effort to translate and publish the writings of the Founding Fathers in Arabic.

 

Obama Controls Your Television… Saturday, Oct 17 2009

Breitbart has a few pieces on the health care fiasco as well as other liberal views that the television networks will be peddling next week. There are three parts to this.

LEAKED NETWORK MEMO REVEALS: Obama Controls Your Television Set
by John Nolte

On September 10th of this year the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF) posted a press release informing the world that “from October 19-25, more than 60 network TV shows [will] spotlight the power and personal benefits of service,” and that this “unprecedented block of TV programming is the first wave of a multi-year ‘I Participate’ campaign.”

On its face this all sounds rather benign in that silly, liberal do-gooder kind of way. The networks have launched these kinds of campaigns before and other than some clunky exposition awkwardly inserted into your favorite show to meet the mandate — no harm, no foul.

Part II: Obama Controls Your Television Set — Search and Ye Shall Find…Left-Wing Advocacy
by Stage Right

My ten-year-old daughter loves “So You Think You Can Dance.” I suspect most eight to eighteen-year-old girls do.  So, my question to the producers of this hit show is: “Why are you pointing my daughter to a web page asking her to work at Planned Parenthood?”

Next week the networks will coordinate their shows’ story-lines to promote volunteerism.  At the September 10 press conference in New York announcing this unprecedented message coordination, Ashton Kutcher got his famous Twitter feed displayed on the Times Square jumbo screen.  It said:  “2Day, I activate my citizenship by participating. I Participate! Do u? www.iparticipate.org.”  (Damn he’s good at this whole “Under 14o characters” thing.)

Part III: Obama Controls Your Television Set — Serve.gov or Serf.dom?
by Patrick Courrielche

National service and volunteerism is a top priority of both the President and the First Lady. A broad effort has been launched to promote this priority. We’ve seen this in the May 12th White House briefing, the August 10th and 27th art community conference calls, and now in a new effort by the Entertainment Industry Foundation, entitled iParticipate, that is encouraging broadcast media to infuse national service stories into their show plots. The First Lady has even created a video expressing the importance of national service.

 

Democrats Didn’t Get the Message… Saturday, Oct 17 2009

Remember all the wailing and gnashing of teeth in August? Apparently Congress doesn’t.

Grab your wallet, and then vote these fuckers out of office in 2010. That’s the only hope America has left. Revolutions cost a lot. I don’t want to have to go down that route. Secession? Maybe it can happen, but that would be a hard sell too. States opting out of the government takeover of the health care system? That is also possible I would imagine thanks to the 10th Amendment.

Either way, this is going to get uglier before it gets better. I guarantee it.

Democrats Go Nuclear on Health Care, Clearing Way for “Reconciliation” Path

Hmmm…

House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) held a hearing this morning to certify that H.R. 3200 — the main House Obamacare bill which was the subject of all the town hall rage in August — has met all requirements to pass as a “budget reconciliation” measure.

Under reconciliation, the bill can be passed by a simple majority vote in the Senate — just 51 votes — and will be given preferential treatment on the House floor as well. The Dems have apparently invoked the “nuclear option” to shut out Republicans and ensure the bill is passed before the end of the year.

I stumbled on this headline this morning. First one I read as far as blogs go. Funny.

Northern PA Covered in Global Warming

“Earliest snowfall on record.”

Some of that heavy, wet stuff that’s downing power lines.

Congratulations all you northern AoS moron-types, winter is here!
