We're the Military and Airpower Guys of Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online + a stray we found wandering around looking lost.

Rush Limbaugh made a clumsy elocution, which when taken out of context, looks dumb. Okay. This is a note from the Heartland to BOTH parties. COULD WE PASS A FEW FARGING APPROPRIATION BILLS, PLEASE? Ya wanna make a statement supportive of the troops? PASS THE DAMN VA FUNDING BILL. How 'bout that? Not to mention the rest of 'em. Good golly gee, people. And ya wonder why the nation thinks you're a collection of buffoons? Just watch C-Span. The bills are what's important, ladies and gents. Not the posturing that... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/note_to_congres.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/note_to_congres.html Fri, 05 Oct 2007 08:48:42 -0600 Hmmm. I did kinda break my own rulez, didn't I? Not really. The messengers have self-identified with the message in this instance, ergo, a slap at the messenger is a slap at the message is a slap at the messenger. Think of it as a political Moebius strip...]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/note_to_congres.html#comment-65303 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/note_to_congres.html#comment-65303 Sat, 06 Oct 2007 11:25:24 -0600 Hmmm. I did kinda break my own rulez, didn't I? Sigh. Anger, it's such an ugly thing. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/note_to_congres.html#comment-65273 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/note_to_congres.html#comment-65273 Fri, 05 Oct 2007 10:13:28 -0600 Well, except for not passing any salient bills, sometimes non-working buffoonery is good...for the American people that is. At least they can't make it worse than it is. But, money would be good for these two items. They can wrestle over their little squealing pork projects some other time. and people wonder why I absolutely detest the possibility of government directed health care. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/note_to_congres.html#comment-65270 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/note_to_congres.html#comment-65270 Fri, 05 Oct 2007 09:42:13 -0600 Well smote, sir. If it makes you feel any better (and I'm almost positive it won't), we're just as bad up here north of you folks. It's like these pols live in a freakin' bubble, where everything's about the sizzle and nobody cares about the steak. Frustrating. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/note_to_congres.html#comment-65265 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/note_to_congres.html#comment-65265 Fri, 05 Oct 2007 09:19:30 -0600 I've barely got time to sleep let alone blog and comment, but you sum up my feelings in 1. Next they'll be passing a Brittney bill. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/note_to_congres.html#comment-65260 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/10/note_to_congres.html#comment-65260 Fri, 05 Oct 2007 08:59:40 -0600
