A big hat tip to Andrew Malcom over at Top of the Ticket (one of the best political blogs on the web) for posting this video.  ..bruce w..

Matt Welch over at Reason reminds us of a critical historical event that, curiously, we don’t celebrate:

MORNING LINKS (and these are likely the only link you’ll get today).

MORNING LINKS — get ‘em while they’re fresh
ITEM:  “Should war be a game?“ is the fatuous subhead of the day, from an article talking about a new videogame recreating the battle for Fallujah (Iraq). The reporter shows no awareness that wargames have been around for centuries and that most of them do indeed “use actual [...]

OVERNIGHT LINKS
ITEM: Hey! Al Gore and I both celebrated Earth Hour with our lights on! We’re buds now! As for Kentucky, heck, they celebrated a whole Earth Week not long ago!

My daughter — who spent 16 months in Russia (her husband spent 22 months there as well) — had the following observation about my link this morning regarding the House bill on compulory youth service (the first link was in the e-mail; I inserted the second link):

I scan the web so that you don’t have to . . .
Let’s see . . . the North Koreans . . . the Chinese . . . and now the Russians. Who’s going to be the next to challenge the new Obama Administration? Maybe Iran? And how will the Obama Administration respond? Oh, I [...]
