Discopants and Haircuts

This is the saddest thing I have seen. George Bush and all the other fuckwads can go fuck themselves. The anger I feel right now could rock the earth. “Major Mark Bieger found this little girl after the car bomb that attacked our guys while kids were crowding around. The soldiers here have been angry and sad for two days. They are angry because the terrorists could just as easily have waited a block or two and attacked the patrol away from the kids. Instead, the suicide bomber drove his car and hit the Stryker when about twenty children were jumping up and down and waving at the soldiers. Major Bieger, I had seen him help rescue some of our guys a week earlier during another big attack, took some of our soldiers and rushed this little girl to our hospital. He wanted her to have American surgeons and not to go to the Iraqi hospital. She didn’t make it. ”http://www.michaelyon-online.com/wp/little-girl.htm

I gotta write something before I black out. No seriously, I decided to drink one of the bottles of beer I made this week. I know, I know, it’s before the 6-10 days I am supposed to wait. Wow! Holy shit! The beer is delicious! It’s really good. The problem is that it has too much strength, or as I call it, ‘love’…

I’m okay though. What it has is a real beer taste. It doesn’t taste like it was made in a factory. It tastes like.. like… victory.

Joseph Conrad and Marlon Brando aside, I feel compelled to recommend another blog. Michael J Totten’s Middle East Blog. This is an amazing site. It’s all about an independent reporter in Iraq. In this article he reports about a Civil Affairs unit doing some important distribution of food, water and beanie babies. Hearts and minds my friends. It also happens to be my old MOS. CA all the way. They are stationed in Rochester, not too far from Buffalo. The thing I appreciated the most about this site was how well the stories are told. They are told with honesty, pictures and (what appears to be) complete objectivity.

I hope this guy doesn’t end up a statistic.

This weeks picture Zen is special.
