Kill The Messenger By Paul on Politics Wizbang blog Jack O'Toole thinks the world is just not fair to the Left: Each and every day, Glenn [Reynolds] quite skillfully uses his site to weave the right side of the blogosphere into a coherent, compelling whole, a narrative of conservative ideas and opinion. In short, a message. And despite our signal successes -- the professional-level political and policy analysis being done by some, the potent partisan anger that's bracingly channeled by others -- the left side of Blogdom still doesn't have anything quite like an Instapundit. And we suffer for it. Seven days a week, three hundred and sixty five days a year. Hey- I've got an idea, why don't they buy 6 blogs and pay for them with bad checks and see how many readers they get! It really is sad. For years the left has blamed Rush because they have no message on radio now they blame Glenn because they have no message in the blogosphere. Do these people own mirrors? Why not drop the usual liberal "woe is me" crap and get a message that is intellectually honest, can be defended intelligently and does not repulse a large hunk of America. How hard is it? The problem with today's Democratic party is not that they don't have a message. The problems is that their message just repulses too many people.

Taking Chance Home LtCol M.R. Strobl USMC The following is Marine Lieutenant Colonel Strobl's account of escorting the remains of Lance Corporal Chance Phelps. It's a long and beautifully written and it deserves to be read in it's entirety. It's about Valor, Honor and Respect. Thanks to Jarhead Dad for sending it to me. Heard this remarkable story on the radio yesterday, read by one of the talk show hosts. Most amazing! Wonder if ABC will read this along with the names? They certainly should....it tells the story of how both the Military, and all Americans feel about the young men and women who are in the Military.
