Celebrity Milblogging: Chuck Ziegenfuss of From My Position - On The Way!"

I don't know if y'all saw it not, but I'm going to be on CNN tomorrow. I've posted about it here. The piece was about milblogging and the frustrations that I have with the news media (at least the folks I ran into in Iraq.) The piece isn't very long, but maybe five to 10 minutes, and I didn't get to answer as many questions as I hoped, (as a matter of fact, the guy who was hosting the show cut me off as I began to rant about how the "news" focuses on things like Britney Spears' sex life and how Jessica Simpson can't tell what's inside a tuna can when there are people who are struggling and dying in their quest for freedom… and he said segued his way out of the rant with a quip with about how the news had so many areas to cover.)

Anyway, I had a good interview, and Ms. Schechner was quite charming. I had a chance to speak with her on the show and off the show before and after the interview. I also took questions from an audience at George Washington University, and a couple of CNN's better known reporters. (Whose names evade me at the moment.)

The show is called On the Story, and it will air tomorrow (Saturday) at 7 p.m. Eastern, and again on Sunday at 1 p.m. Eastern. I didn't get to pitch Valour-IT, SoldiersAngels, or really even get to say hi to the kids before they were wrapping up.

I just thought you'd like to know.

In light of Jim B's signature tagline - Fuzzybear Lioness explains some changes in the Enlistment Oath that will help those of you who are Chesty-challenged. No, this doesn't mean you, Cassandra.

Speaking of Cassandra - I think it's safe to say that report finally got turned in. Welcome back, woman.

C'mon - head over to Bad Cat Robot's and help Bill and I defend the Basis of Civilization As We Know It from her predatory attack on the Bedrock of All The Is Good. Really. She needs a good whack-party in her comments. Dare ya.

SWWBO's trying to keep me outta jail. No, not for Child Porn, but for when looking at pictures of nekkid guns is illegal. Y'know, Sarah HillarySchumerStein's World. All they need is the precedent, right?

Over at Kat's, some TINS. And a little sad news, too.

JTG gets off his lazy butt and posts...

Jack continues his determined assault on windmills! Someone has to do it!
