Thomas James advances Scrappleface’s ball further down the field in comments:
Mother Sheehan’s war is just a distraction from the Global Whinge on Bush. The left was arguably justified in going into the Plame/Rove scandal (remember that?) after the catastrophic 11/2 attacks which damaged Ohio’s electoral system and brought down the Twin Johns. But since then, they have squandered the unprecedented and heartfelt outpouring of support they once received from George Soros. The left went into this war on the basis of fraudulent estimates of Mother Sheehan’s capabilities as a weapon of mass media destruction, an “imminent threat” which has since been proved bogus, and their appalling conduct in this “illegal” ditch-occupation is serving as a recruitment tool for anti-idiotarian insurgents.

…it would be a shame if something were to happen to it.”
The so-called “moderate Muslim leadership” in Britain is blackmailing the British government again:
The closure of mosques accused of “fomenting extremism” would amount to a collective punishment of the community, the statement warned.
It may “create fear” which could lead to “the very radical sub-culture which we all seek to prevent”.
Finally, the Muslim leaders said plans to deport foreign nationals to countries known for human rights abuses was “abhorrent”.
In other words, Britain had better continue to allow people to foment insurrection and religious hatred against non-Muslims, or there might be even more insurrection and religious hatred against non-Muslims. And Britain is apparently obliged to provide asylum to people who abuse that privilege to preach hatred against her.

This is an interesting breakthrough in energy generation, but I doubt it will be practical for transportation. Though it does bring a whole new meaning to the old urban myth about running a car on water. In this case, beer might be more effective, as long as someone else was behind the wheel.
Food scientists working for the US military have developed a dried food ration that troops can hydrate by adding the filthiest of muddy swamp water or even peeing on it.

“President Bush, if your own two daughters won’t enlist, how can you expect anyone else’s children to join the military?”
This is like the idiocy of Michael Moore demanding the same thing of Bill O’Reilly. It presupposes that “children” join the military, and fantasizes that this happens because parents “send” them. Surely this formulation helps play into the little passion play we’re seeing down in Crawford right now, but it has no correspondence to reality. In this country, adults join the military, and they do so voluntarily. Many (indeed, most) of them have parents, but this is presumably a choice made by those adults, and not the parents, so this whole notion of “sending our children to war” is nonsensical.
Does he really expect the president to order Jenna and Barbara to enlist? If not, what’s his point? This isn’t about “people’s children” joining the military–it’s about people joining the military who happen (on occasion) to have parents. But that reality apparently doesn’t jerk the heartstrings as much.
