Was not impressed my the Scahill book. After a coupla hundred pages all I learned was that Blackwater is super connected and run by an ultra conservative Catholic convert.

The American government has been hiring mercenaries to fight for us since before we won the revolution and created an American government. I'm not scared of this business. I don't think the average American need be...

The Dropkick Murphys just kicked ass on Letterman. Those guys are good.

First chapter of Blackwater book by Scahill is just a family history and several dozen rehashes of his point that Prince was raised in an ultra christian conservative family. 25 pages worth. I got it in 6 and skipped ahead.

I'm watching the Vagner/Dual Break/"I love the smell of Napalm in the morning" scene from Apocalypse Now Redux. There is no more pure expression of macho stupidity and the overall assanein nature of war.

One year I will make it through the end of "It's A Wonderful Life" without tearing up.

One year the Capra classic will not push all those Midwestern American buttons hardwired into me of family and faith and community.
