This appeared on Facebook this weekend. The contention of Under the Hood is that by harassing the command structure of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, they can prevent the Regiment from deploying soldiers they think are “wounded”. They go on to list a number of commanders – I won’t do that. But, I figure if […]

Wikileaks in Baghdad trash dump

There’s an article in The Nation written by Sarah Lazare and Ryan Harvey entitled “Wikileaks in Baghdad” that has really tested my strength to avoid punching my poor, innocent laptop.

Driving while IVAW

I found this hilarious post by Catherine Bleish on her blog about IVAW member Will Stewart-Starks who was pulled over by the cops in Round Rock, TX, supposedly because he and his companion had an IVAW bumpersticker on their car, oh, and they were speeding.
