" The Rise and Fall of Liberty"

Captain of a Crew of One has an excellent post about the withering away of our liberties. It is a great read, as is all of his other writings.

If only we collectively would do something about it...

Essayons! Enigneers Unite!

Go read this article. It talks about how the Corps of Engineers is doing its job in the Middle East and not getting any media attention, which is the classic example of professionalism.

Way to go, guys!!

Open Mouth, Insert Foot

Mayor Ray "Chocolate" Nagin, feels bad about his remarks yesterday, but I do not think he should get off that easily.

He made those remarks on a day we memorialize man who once said, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

I am sure that the reverend would be pretty pissed about those remarks. The rhetoric some of the prominent African Americans over the last 15 years would not be said if the Reverend Doctor were still alive.

With people like Nagin, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, I fell that the Civil Rights movement is one of perpetuity. Once we achieve it, they will be out of a soapbox, then what? Nope, they keep it up and blame everything on everybody but them. Hurricanes? God is pissed at Bush for Iraq, so He is making the Black Man pay.

Please. Make. It. Stop.
