America can have a long memory. It would behoove our enemies to realize that the last time we went to war after an unprovoked attack, it ended in fire.

Here’re this week’s votes for the New Blog Showcase.
First, “Al Franken on Book TV” by dangerous liberty (where, incidentally, it is claimed that Glenn Reynolds is merely a digital construct of Bill Gates’ e-mail tracking program. I guess that settles the question of whether Evil Glenn is really evil or not.)
I saw this post, “When John Denver Died” at Seppo’s Provincial Postings, when it was (re)published in November. I thought at the time that it was one of the more eloquent blog entries I’d ever read. Still do.
“Just left of moonbat” he might have been, politically, but not completely. I’ll never forget that he was one of the entertainers that visited and performed for us in Korea on a USO tour back in the ’80s. A real nice guy.
