July 31, 2007

Kind of unbelievable, but then what isn't these days?….

The Army on Tuesday censured a retired three-star general for a "perfect storm of mistakes, misjudgments and a failure of leadership" after the 2004 friendly-fire death in Afghanistan of Army Ranger Pat Tillman.
Army Secretary Pete Geren asked an Army review panel to decide whether Lt. Gen. [...]

What's The Problem With Iraq? It's America's Democracy

July 31, 2007

David Ignatius is a columnist for the Washington Post. After reading his stuff for awhile now and listening and watching him on the teevee "news" shows, The Reverend has come to the conclusion that Ignatius, a nice man I'm sure, is a very, very, serious political writer and opinionist who sees things others are simply [...]

The New York Times Knee Padders

July 31, 2007

This is one of many case studies on how those oh-so-liberal Main Stream Media representatives seem to always do the bidding of the oh-so-neo-conservative White House.

What's In A Name?

July 29, 2007

I have chosen the name Blog of Mass Destruction for a reason. Yes, it's obviously a rip off of the great danger we were warned about, the there that wasn't there, Weapons of Mass Destruction. The weapons that weren't and the threat that wasn't.

July 28, 2007

Is Bush Losing It?

July 27, 2007

Tomorrow's Bush radio address includes the following…..
