VoteVets leads the charge into obscurity

VoteVets, in keeping with their tradition of addressing issues which occur, at best, on the periphery of veterans’ issues has joined with a band of like-minded idiots in an $11 million ad buy opposing Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson (Huffington Post link); The spots, sponsored by SEIU, VoteVets.org, the League of Conservation Voters and the Sierra […]

From the other end of the spectrum

Bobby Whittenberg is doing his best to undermine the IVAW from his end of the political spectrum. Matthis expressed his support for Whittenberg and mentioned his desire to leave IVAW as well. Unfortunately, my ninja spy wasn’t fast enough to screen cap it – so you can believe me or not. I know it’s not […]

Letters from IVAW

As a query to IVAW’s Jose Vasquez, the Executive Director, I sent this picture of Matthis and asked Jose if this is the official position of IVAW. Vasquez responded that I should know better.

Another resignation at IVAW

Mike Kern, one of James Branum’s clients at Fort Hood, has decided to throw in the towel. He seems to be leaving because, like his buddy, Bobby Whittenburg, the group isn’t radical enough for him. And their money is spent on things other than, well, other than things Mike likes. The following was sent to […]

Hide your children, Killeen

Someone sent me this screen shot of Matthis navel-gazing. So Matthis is thinking about a change of scenery to play with the goofballs at Under the Hood Cafe in Killeen outside the gates of Fort Hood, TX. I don’t see it actually. Killeen isn’t metropolitan enough for an urbane city dweller like Matthis. In this […]
