Insty points out this great article by Robert Kaplan in The Atlantic, in which he writes about some of the worthy Viet Nam soldier memoirs that haven’t found a general audience, for a variety of reasons, such as publishers’ unwillingness to print them and reviewers unwillingness to review them. Sounds like a resource that a privately-funded production company might be able to turn into a remarkable series of films for,

Zappatero at Kos comments on Colorado Representative Doug Lambert’s Lamborn’s “threatening” phone call to a couple whose letter to the editor accused him of taking casino money, stating, “this is beyond the pale. This will be repudiated even by the most rabid local wingers. And this, most likely, will get Doug on Keith Olberman’s Worst Person in the World list — if I have anything to do with it.” Now,

At the NYT: Some of the same Arab tribes accused of massacring civilians in the Darfur region of Sudan are now unleashing their considerable firepower against one another in a battle over the spoils of war that is killing hundreds of people and displacing tens of thousands. The static nature of life in El Rouhal, a camp near Kas, is hard for elders of the Terjem tribe, who traditionally roam

UN says US has most productive labor force: American workers stay longer in the office, at the factory or on the farm than their counterparts in Europe and most other rich nations, and they produce more per person over the year. They also get more done per hour than everyone but the Norwegians, according to a U.N. report released Monday, which said the United States “leads the world in labor

Seems like just yesterday that the L.A. Times and the AP were putting out civilian casualty figures from anonymous Iraqi government sources that did not gibe with prior reports from the LAT or the AP. The New York Times sees those numbers and raises them, again based on “unofficial” reports from Iraqi Interior Ministry officials: American and Iraqi government officials here are extremely reluctant to provide regular, comprehensive figures for

Some of the guys are back to posting. Please drop over there and give them a wave. Also, Smantix has retired from Six Meat Buffet (at least for the nonce), but you have a chance to meet “tiny elvis”. You may want to go drop by Cythen’s place for a disturbing post about the horrors of fat Mexican ROAD HEAD. Ewwww!

We haven’t mentioned this here at PW, but the ever-charming and classy Geraldo Rivera has stated that he’ll spit on Michelle Malkin if ever he runs into her. Personally, I think Malkin would probably kick his ass. Here’s your chance to let Mr. Rivera know what you’ll do to him, should you ever run into him. Because of the machismo.

Drum complained about “Gen. Petraeus’s PR blizkrieg” and got spanked by the general’s PAO, Col. Steven Boylan.  I give Drum credit for printing the reply at length.  I woud add, however, that the myth about Gen. Petraeus only briefing the GOP arose because Sen. Carl Levin was the only Democrat who bothered to attend Gen. Petraeus’s briefing.

Glazov: OK, let’s turn to your new book now, Indoctrination U: The Left’s War Against Academic Freedom. Tell us what it is about and the journey that led to it. David Horowitz: First it’s about how our universities are being turned into training camps for the anti-American, anti-capitalist left, and what can be done about it. Second, it’s about what happens to someone who attempts to get professors to present

More for Karl’s Haditha Addendum from Denis Keohane at American Thinker: The anti war Democrats and the left insist they care about the troops. Press them on that very thing, and demand Congressional investigation based on the following: 1) The Marines were presumed guilty well before the investigation and they had their rights to self defence exercised, and it was not just Murtha, as I’ll show. 2) There were months
