Project Valour-IT

Heh. I wonder why I bothered to get up this morning...?

The national election sucked.

Regionally, I batted about 50%.

Castle Argghhh! Artillery Corps

But that's not the worst thing. Good golly no. I checked the Project Valour-IT totals to find The Navy ahead. And not just by a nose, but by a few aircraft carrier lengths... to the tune of better than $10,000 ahead. Eeeep! Matty and Jimbo better bring their A-game to this thing, this is looking to be a *really* carpy week around here!


No matter! We will prevail!

Did you know there were Project Valour-IT auctions? For those of you who wanna *get* something for your donation to the cause?

You can see them right here. All the services are represented. The Air Farce here. The (hock, ptui!) Squids here. And the Jarheads are too busy, so they left it for the distaff side...

Of course, you'll want to check out the *koff* Army offerings first! Two *Autographed* copies of "Blood Brothers" the iconic book for Project Valour-IT. You can read more about the book here.

So, spend some of your hard-earned dollars helping wounded soldiers... and take some of that off the amount that the Social Engineers and Pork Barrellers are going to want from you next April!

Cluebat of Argghhh!

The Cluebats of Argghhh! are back on the table too. If you missed out last time - send me a receipt for a $100 (or more!) donation, dated between 8-11 November, and I've got 20 bats available! And since the work is all done, these will ship quicker than the last ones, I promise! BTW - there's two of you from last time who never sent an address... it's hard to mail 'em without one! And don't feel compelled to donate electronically if you aren't comfortable with that. Even if the 20 bats go to Paypal donees, if you send me a snail mail receipt, I'll send you a bat.

It's a tax-deductible donation and eligible for matching funds from companies who do that sort of thing (see: http://soldiersangels.org/valour/irsinfo.html for proof for the cautious).

The snail mail address for those who'd rather donate that way (be sure to put ARMY in big letters on the check):

Soldiers' Angels
1150 N Loop 1604 W, Suite 108-493
San Antonio, TX 78248

Enlist for Soldier's Angels and Project Valour-IT

Double down people. Not only did the national elections suck, but you know who is in control of the house and potentially the senate now.

It's up to us to band together and support our troops.

It's true we have been throught tougher times. I sure remember Carter. But let's learn our lessons and work to support the troops, and unscrew this thing in 2008.

Right after I get done watching the first episode of "Impeachment 2007"
