To End All Wars. It is based on the same story as Bridge on the River Kwai, but I understand that the more recent film is much more true to the real story. Here's the official movie site although I...

Kremlin Not Amused By Life of This Party

The Russian National Bolshevik Party seems to be rocking the boat over there a bit.

National Bolsheviks? National Socialists? How much difference in meaning is there in those names? Not helping matters, the NB's have adopted the style of the old 3rd Reich flag - with a hammer and sickle in place of the swastika. Now THAT's a way to catch attention in Russia - which still has some collective nightmares of WW2.

This one may bear some watching, since they seem to be galvanizing some support fairly quickly.

A wingnut gets fired from his job for e-mailing Michelle Malkin to call her a "c**t" over the Cindy Sheehan affair. Actually, here's the full text of his message to her: YOU STINK you nasty C**T! Eat Shit and DIE...

Bush under pressure on influx from Mexico

This issue is hot and getting hotter. The Chief has posted several times in the past that the GOP was in a position of being at least partially outflanked to the right on the border security issue. With the exception of a few outspoken people like Tom Tancredo (R-CO )the general level of squishiness on this from the President on down, leaves Donks a hole big enough to drive a busload of illegals through.

The emergency declarations of the Donk governors of Arizona and New Mexico, along with the concerned noises from Hilary herself show that some of them at least are getting the message from the voters at last. The real question, especially in Hilary's case is whether or not this is an actual substantive policy, or is just a ploy to hoodwink some red-state voters to shift in '08.

Based on the record, the Chief is inclined NOT to give much credibility to Sen. Hil's new-found moderation.

This Cindy Sheehan thing is turning into a mess. I had vowed to myself that I wasn't going to say anything else about her after my two initial posts, but violated that pledge when her moonbats-in-arms accused the Secret Service...

Private Company Plans Tour Around the Moon

Space Adventures, a company based in Arlington, Va., has already sent two tourists into orbit. Today, it is to unveil an agreement with Russian space officials to send two passengers on a voyage lasting 10 to 21 days, depending partly on its itinerary and whether it includes the International Space Station. A roundtrip ticket will cost $100 million. The space-faring tourists will travel with a Russian pilot. They will steer clear of the greater technical challenge of landing on the Moon, instead circling it and returning to Earth.

The Chief has to like this one, big time. Anything that extends our presence in space is a positive - and this will reinforce the moves for NASA to re-extend itself in the direction of lunar basing.

Granted there's not any new technology in this, but what of it? Columbus, and those who came after him didn't use "new technology" either to explore and settle a "new world".
