Papa-Bear. Updated.

I updated the post for Papa-Bear. I still get several hits a week from folks looking for information. (or returning to see if I managed to update what was here...)

Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of his passing, and I added a formated version of the posts that were left at the Denver Post online memorial page. You can download a PDF version here:

SwiftVets next round

The SwiftBoat Vets have a new ad ready.

For the newspaper this time - they want some answers: Download answers.pdf

If you haven't been keeping up, Beldar has a nice timeline here.

Roundup.

Walter has a post directing the masses to the next installment of the Rocky Mountain Blogger Roundup.

If you've missed these in the past, it's a great way to find new blogs.

Click the image and it will take you to Fusilierpundit's 'WeckUpToThees!' blog.

Not sure when it's due up - but I'm sure several sites will make note when it is.

[I don't know either. I'll have to read it some more to find out....]

DETERRENCE...

Whittle has a two-parter posted.

Given that his usual posts hit serveral thousand words - go to the bathroom and get more than a couple of beers ready.

This'll take awhile.

Watching the Presidential debates of October 1st, and the subsequent reactions to them, has left me once again with the sad realization that there are many millions of people who prefer a man who says the wrong things well over one who says the right things badly – and in the case of the first debates we are talking about saying very, very stupid things well and intelligent things very, very badly.

---------------------

We’re going to look at what both men believe in respect to deterrence: whether their positions increase or decrease the likelihood of further attacks on the US.

That’s it. That’s all. That’s the sum total of this election for me. We’ve survived boobs and crooks and idiots and charlatans of all stripes and colors, struggled through booms and recessions, surpluses and deficits, and wars on poverty and drugs and crime and General Public Lasciviousness and come through just fine, and we will again.

But the nuclear destruction of the heart of Manhattan, or Long Beach Harbor, or the Capital mall – these things are serious business and as Sam Johnson once said, the prospect of being hanged in the morning tends to focus the mind.

---------------------

[Oh yeah - and pass it on.]
Bill inserts a request at the end of the essay -

My friends, if any of you think this may in any way convince people
unsure of what to think about this critical election, for God's sake print out as many
NON-COMMERCIAL (Short form: that means, no charge) copies as you can and drop them
out of airplanes if you are able. This election is entirely too close.
