Well, nothing tonight but a couple of links as I’m currently packing for a company get-away to San Antonio. Blogging this weekend will be unpredictable.<\/p>\n
First and foremost, I’m spending my breaks from packing reading the latest posting from Michael Yon<\/a> on the ground in Iraq, Gates of Fire<\/a>. It’s lengthy and, so far and as expected, fascinating. I especially like this early observation:<\/p>\n Although the situation in Mosul is better, our troops still fight here every day. This may not be the war some folks had in mind a few years ago. But once the shooting starts, a plan is just a guess in a party dress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I’d also like to point that the latest installment of the Life, Liberty, Property community<\/a>‘s Carnival of Liberty is up over at Searchlight Crusade<\/a>. Go read another fine collection of posts from a libertarian slant.<\/p>\n Lastly, I wanted to point y’all to a new blogger, the Gunn Nutt<\/a>. I have to say that I love the “about me” verbage.<\/p>\n Flag-waiving, gun-toting, unabashed patriot. I love the Constitution, the Founding Fathers and all the members of the U.S. Armed Services. I hate Commies more than broccoli.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Commies, broccoli … close call. Broccoli hasn’t killed millions, but if gross was fatal ….<\/p>\n Also, pay attention to the Gunn Nutt’s banner — that tartan is Gunn Modern, and the badge is that of the clan Gunn. The motto Aut Pax Aut Bellum<\/em> translates to “Either peace or war” and is fitting for the fighting history of the clan. I should say that I’ve grown more partial to the Gunn Ancient version of the tartan, but tastes may vary. I’m looking forward to the Nutt’s blogging next April 6<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, nothing tonight but a couple of links as I’m currently packing for a company get-away to San Antonio.
