September 11, 2001Do we still remember? Was it the day that changed us forever? Here are some thoughts from Mark Steyn, and Todd Bevan. My favorite contemporary pieces were this one by John Derbyshire, and a Sept. 12, 2001 piece by...Hooray For College Football
This is shaping up to be a great college football season. Notre Dame takes out Michigan. Iowa State up-ends Iowa for the Cy-Hawk Trophy. Next up: Horns and Ohio State. If things keep playing out this way, I'll be back...9-11: Remembering an Anglo-American Hero
Freedom FightersRick Rescorla Was a Soldier
If you were to tread one post for 9-11, the Chief suggests strongly that this would be the one! Rick Resorla was security head for Morgan Stanley in the WTC. He predicted an attack on the building through the parking garage before it happened. After security on that was beefed up, he actually predicted air attack via crashing airliners as the next method to be used.
As if that isn't enough, there is an exceptional record of service and heroism in the life of this Cornwall born naturalized American that is well worth remembering as exemplifying the best. He served with distinction in the Royal Army, and then in the US Army 7th Cav in Viet-nam.
Check Greyhawk's post in the Mudville Gazette out - it's well worth it. Check out the links there, and don't forget to sign the petition for Rick to get the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
UPDATE: History Channel tonight running an excellent program "THE MAN WHO PREDICTED 9-11" - about Rick Rescorla. By the way, you can see Rick Rescorla's picture on the cover of the book We Were Soldiers Once, and Young.
A Soldier, indeed.

Power Line: Happy Anniversary, Guys..."Many liberal voters in South Dakota are now considering a boycott of Herseth"
Letter in today's Argus Leader:Herseth voting record Published: 09/12/05 It's annoying to see letters promoting Rep. Stephanie Herseth's work in Congress. What's interesting about her sales angle is the notion that Herseth works well with Republicans. Many liberal voters have...Flight 93 Memorial to Honor Islam?!
Bush Let People Die To Pad Pockets of Pals In Mortuary Business"Crescent of Embrace" Selected Design
Few would protest the appropriateness of a memorial at the site of the crash of United Flight 93 near Shanksville, PA on 9-11. More than a few are apparently appalled, as is the Chief, by the design that was selected:
What in the world possesses some of these people when they do something like this. Here's the group of people featured on this evening's TV special (Discovery ch.) THE FLIGHT THAT FOUGHT BACK, being supposedly honored by a design that effectively creates a large Islamic crescent on the landscape using red-leaved trees.
Are they REALLY so dense as to be oblivious to the reactions to this, or is there some other agenda of uber-political correctness? One has to wonder.
Michelle Malkin has about as complete a presentation on this as anywhere, with links to other explanatory sites.
Oh, Jesus Christ....
