Chief nearly rendered speechless

The disaster resulting from Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans & environs, and coastal Mississippi and Alabama is of such a scope that descriptive terminology somehow falls flat in the face of the reality.

As more news comes out, the situation only worsens, at least thus far. Perhaps the description "...of Biblical proportions." is appropriate for once.

Our prayers go out to those affected, and we wish them as speedy a resolution to thier problems as may be possible.

The OTHER aspect of this that renders one speechless - but for a different reason are the attempts of certain libDonks to blame the problem on Bush and other conservatives. What a total crock. The Chief would like to slap 'em up side the head, except for the fact that s--t splatters. RFK Jr., and the others of their ilk on both sides of the Atlantic once and for all need to get a #12 cork installed in their pie holes.

There isn't always a reason

There is a very well-written and articulate posting on the by Julie Neidlinger on the Lone Prairie blog up in North Dakota concerning the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

As the saying goes, she has reason in her comments, which the Chief thinks is right on the mark. It's worth a look, so check it out.

H/T to SD Politics on this one.

Buffalo roams the battlefield to protect soldiers from mines

...what has been referred to as a "Humvee on steroids," the Buffalo is a 24-ton mine-protective, countermine/IED vehicle with a long grappling arm that faces down bombs, removes them and withstands terrific blasts without harm to its passengers.

Now THAT'S a REAL S.U.V.! Hoooo-rah!

Yankee ingenuity at work again! (Or should I say Confederate ingenuity, since the manufacturer is in SC?) These new vehicles are capable of coping with mines, and with roadside IED's. Like in any other war that lasts long enough, changed enemy tactics lead to technological innovation and/or changed equipment and weapoons.

I continue to argue that it is beneath the dignity of a political party to make someone's eating habits a political issue. I disassociate myself from any attack on Elesha Peterson Carr based on the fact that she is a...
