How do those names go again?

Guns in the Hands of Good People
I feel both sorrow and admiration for this man. He did the right thing.
June 28, 2008, was a defining moment in my life. It was the day I shot and killed a man in the defense of my life and the lives of others. We all have defining moments. They might not be as tragic as taking another man’s life, but they are events that change the way we look at things — or even, perhaps, how we live our lives.
Before that muggy Saturday evening in June, I would have said my defining moments were many: graduating from high school; enlisting in the Army; getting married; having children; getting run over by a tow truck; and especially, meeting my fiancée, Maria. All of these events, and more, have happened in my life and changed me.
The Most Vicious Anti-Obama Ad Ever
This isn’t parody, it’s completely below-the-belt contempt. I mean, showing celebrities praying to Barack just plays into the Republican attack machine’s painting of Obama as some sort of self-absorbed Messiah.
I’ll bet Karl Rove is behind this.
The Truth About Russia in Georgia
Michael Totten has the goods.
Georgia didn’t start it on August 7, nor on any other date. The South Ossetian militia started it on August 6 when its fighters fired on Georgian peacekeepers and Georgian villages with weapons banned by the agreement hammered out between the two sides in 1994. At the same time, the Russian military sent its invasion force bearing down on Georgia from the north side of the Caucasus Mountains on the Russian side of the border through the Roki tunnel and into Georgia. This happened before Saakashvili sent additional troops to South Ossetia and allegedly started the war.
Instapundit reports:
I got home from the gym the other day and there was a message on my answering machine — it was Michael Yon, calling from Afghanistan on satphone to make sure I’d seen Michael Totten’s latest report. That tells you how good he is, doesn’t it? . . . So read it, and learn that much of what was reported was wrong.
If you want to know what’s going on there, just go read.
Videos Across Obama’s Bow
Oh, sure, The One has the “O-Bah-Mah” chanting video, but now he’s getting answers from McCain, who is hitting him with Hillary, and Vets, who are just smacking him upside the head.
