INDIAN MOUNDS

It is 5:25 a.m. and 46.1 degrees out and drizzling and dark and Patrick is curled up in the recliner.

Here is the latest from the In-box from wintersoldier.com:
March 7, 2007 -- The veteran counter-protest against ANSWER and other antiwar groups at the Wall in Washington is just ten days away. See Gathering of Eagles for the latest information.

---------- February 26, 2007 -- Here's an excellent rebuttal to the false claim that the Vietnam War was a "civil war":

Two Sides to Every Story -- Quynh Dao.

---------- January 30, 2007 -- True colors, episode one: Remember how Jane Fonda insisted in 2004 that she had nothing to do with John Kerry during her pro-Hanoi days? Never mind that she was the primary financial sponsor and honorary chairman of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War's "Winter Soldier" war crimes propaganda hearings while Kerry was a top leader of the organization. Or that she toured college campuses to raise funds for the VVAW and touted the group on the Dick Cavett Show. Nope, Hanoi Jane told CNN in early 2004 that "Any attempts to link Kerry to me and to make him look bad with that connection is [sic] completely false."

Now, however, John Kerry's presidential dreams have gone a-glimmering. So Hanoi Jane felt free to dig out an old VVAW button to wear as she exhorted her aging comrades at a Washington rally on Saturday.

True colors, episode two: Meanwhile, Senator Kerry quickly returned to doing what he does best - trashing his own country. In Davos, Switzerland, Kerry called America an "international pariah." He went on to complain that his countrymen have an "unfortunate habit" of seeing the world "exclusively through an American lens."

We, on the other hand, think that seeing the world through an American lens is greatly preferable to seeing it through the lenses of the North Vietnamese, the French, the Sandinistas, and the Iranian mullahs.

---------- January 24, 2007 -- The Boston Globe reports that John Kerry will not run again for the Presidency in 2008.

This is an uncharacteristically wise and prudent decision on the part of the Senator, and we applaud it.

Gators whipped Georgia pretty good last night in Atlanta in round two of the SEC Championship Tournament. Started the game with a 17-0 run and game ended at 74-57--that same 17 point margin...sort of strange. Gators play winner of LSU/Miss game--haven't checked score but I assume that will be LSU --this afternoon--but Earthdog and I will miss it if everything goes according to plan--climbing up on Indian Mounds.

More much later.
