Not since the Battle of Agincourt has a gesture had a chance of being universally recognized as a repudiation to one's attackers...let's hear it for The Finger. Everyone at the 2008 Republican National Convention should be sporting vivid blue index digits...just a thought. Heh.

Instapilot Sends.

The Armorer adds: Why wait for 2008? Give Terror The Finger - today!

I read this in the Cincinnati Enquirer today: "An army medic from Anderson Township was killed in Iraq Sunday, his father said. Jim Miller, Jr., died while working at a polling place in Ramadi during Sunday's historic, nationwide elections." Give the terrorists the Purple Finger for Medic Jim Miller, Jr. for me, will ya? God Speed, Jim.

Generally speaking, the victors in any medieval battle didn't consider the "enlisteds" worth the effort of capturing (if they had the price of a ransom, they'd have been armored and mounted); the only survivors on the losing side were those who could outrun the victors. And you don't need a middle finger to draw a longbow, anyway--any two will do nicely, as long as they're on the same hand. So-o-o-o, that said, I wholeheartedly endorse treating the Qaeda-types to that which they would have enjoyed in the 14th Century (see John Keegan's Face of Battle--not for the squeamish). Hey, pally--you really wanna go back to the good ol' days...?
