Dependence Day.............from Rico
I read this yesterday (Mark Steyn is one of the few who make any sense to me these days) and decided to watch the old film "Zulu" and chew this over...
I conclude that the end of the Anglosphere is not something to desire or look forward to.
- No, not because of the film ref'd infra...but because human history is what it is, and the reversion to the mean from the idealistic heights of liberty will result in massive human misery and slavery.
Mark squarely hits the nail on the head here, as did YOU by noting it's significance and import. What WOULD the world look like today if Canada instead of China or Fwance had taken a seat on the UN [read: today's Useless Nitwits] Security Council instead?

Retirement? Meet Reality...................from Rico
Retirement? I'd like to introduce you to Reality.
The median amount in American IRA's (Individual Retirement Accounts) according to the BLS (see chart) is $2,000.
- No big surprise since half of Americans earn $25,000 per year (or less). Many look at Social Security as their 'retirement account.' BIG mistake, but that's an economic rant for another time (the one about how Congress spent all the Soc.Sec. cash and left a pile of IOU's to itself instead. [Hint: don't try this at home!]).
REALITY? Even more dismal than the above: 1 in 3 have ZERO savings.
Gee, it's sure a good thing there is NO inflation (well, according to the Government...the rest of us that need energy and food HAVE TO PAY FOR SAME unlike the tax-spenders who have us to pay their way)!!!!!
Blood Libels a Dime a Dozen............by Dan Friedman
'I have no problem with Sarah Palin’s use of “blood libel.” The cockamie idea concocted by the Left that an image or an expression Palin used could have inspired the massacre in Tucson certainly fits the description. But I don’t know about you, a blood libel is just not the same unless Jews are the target accused.
So for blood libel purists out there, here’s a classic – the real thing – that originated with Israel’s “peace partner” and was shot out of the water debunked by the IDF.'

Military News...........from DJ Elliott
NTM-I DCOM holds meeting with Commander of Iraqi Air Force. Every time I see this, I come back to the idea of putting the needed Air Defense under NATO as an option for political cover. All "US Troops" leave but NATO stays as a "Training and Assistance" force...
Army's 400 tanks may be cut to 50. Iraq already has more M1A1s than that. 63 of the first order of 140 have already been delivered...
Invisible tanks, liquid armor at BAE
. I thought selling off most of the RA's tanks was their tactic for making them invisible.

House Democrat Steve Cohen Compares GOP Healthcare Opposition to Nazi Party's 'Big Lie'
Well, fancy that.
Now that Democrats and fever-swamp progressives have been hammered for their blame-righty campaign following Tucson, we'll be hearing ObamaCare lackeys in Congress attacking GOP opposition as the "Big Lie."
That's sad, I gotta say. At Weasel Zippers, "Dem Congressman Compares GOP ObamaCare Claims to Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, Lies About Jews That Led to Holocaust," and The Hill, "Democratic Lawmaker Compares GOP Health Law Claims to Nazi 'Lies'."
And from Michelle, "Civility Watch: Nazis and Crosshairs and Killers, Oh My":
When is it hate speech to compare politicians to Nazis? Only when the accusers are Tea Party activists or Republicans. When it’s Democrats, just move along. Nothing to see or hear ...Cross-posted from American Power.
Chinese Tease!

Two T-38 Talons are unloaded from NASA's Super Guppy aircraft Dec. 14, 2010, after being shipped to Holloman Air Force Base, N.M. for inspection and repair. The base is the main depot in Air Combat Command for repairing the aircraft. After 450 flight hours at their operating location, the T-38s will come back for inspection.
