First CupMaking coffee has become the great compromise of the decade. It’s the only thing “real” men do that doesn’t seem to threaten their masculinity. ~ Erma Bombeck

Happy 3rd Blogiversary to:
Bad Example

Euphoric Reality (Heidi) A Study In Contrasts — “More details are emerging about the two soldiers who died of torture at the hands of our enemies. I am horrified and sickened, but sadly, not at all suprised. That is what Islamists do.”

Captain’s Quarters (Ed Morrissey) Post Takes The Law-Enforcement Approach — “We need to remember that Islamist terrorists declared war on the US almost a decade ago and initiated a series of escalating attacks on us to prosecute it. That effort culminated in 9/11, which the Bush administration correctly determined as an act of war. We need to continue fighting it as a war. We do not need to make ourselves feel good by pretending that our enemy has the same legal standing as urban gangs.”

Don Surber Make them pay — “The torture killings of two American soldiers show how little regard for human life al-Qaeda has. There will be no investigation by Osama bin Laden. The United Nations will not demand an investigation. The George Soros-funded Human Rights Watch will remain silent. Amnesty International will not protest. The International Red Cross will not get huffy because it was not allowed in the POW camp where Americans are held.”
