As you may or may not know, I’m running for Constable, Precinct 3, here in Coryell County.
Well, it’s time to get off of my backside and start some campaigning. The first thing I’m thinking about doing is getting a slogan. So, I need your help.
Specifically, I need you to tell me if this [...]

A New York Times story suggests that Cpl. Hassoun’s capture came about as a result of him deserting his unit after seeing one of his sergeants die in a mortar attack.
If this is true, then it should serve two purposes:
Give Cpl. Hassoun a chance (no matter how small) to regain some of the honor lost [...]

Tonight I fully expect the new Canadian Conservative Party to make huge gains in the national elections our neighbors to the north are having. The race will be tight, but they’ll make enough gains that it is expected that the Liberals will have to form a minority government.

Code of Conduct for Members of the United States Armed Forces, Executive Order 10631
I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared [...]

Reuters reports that the Army has been instructed by Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D-HI) not to use bullets manufactured in Israel in its Afghan and Iraqi operations “by no means, under any circumstances.”
And while the Pentagon does acknowledge a certain propaganda value to our enemies if we use Israeli-made bullets against the insurgents in Iraq, I’m [...]

Not long ago, I suggested that things were not looking good for Air America Radio. In the comments of that post someone suggested that Air America must be doing something right because they were beating Rush Limbaugh among 18-54 year olds in the New York market.
I pointed out that the numbers were created by [...]

We already knew that, but they just keep demonstrating it.
A post over at Blackfive brought this story to my attention.

It’s been a full week already.
On Monday, I helped a client set up his PC so that he could talk with his sister in Michigan using a webcam. So, he can see his sister — someone he hasn’t seen in 30 years.
Since last Saturday, I’ve been working on the backend for the Gmail4Troops project. [...]

I got a mention on radio tonight!
Wil Wheaton and Anne Mitchell were on the David Lawrence Show tonight. During Anne’s turn she mentioned that she heard about GMail4Troops through my blog. So, she, of course, volunteered me to do a php backend for the site. (Just kidding, Anne! I would have [...]
