  • On the Mosque in Manhattan
    Rustmeister's Alehouse on August 24th, 2010
    This letter to the Commercial Squeal says a lot of things well:Passions run high about a proposed mosque near Ground Zero. No, it should definitely not be built there. However, the "no" decision should not be coming from the government via Congress, or the courts, but from Muslims themselves who should have the decency, tact and common sense t...

    The Intersection of Intelligence and ArroganceReading this brought me back to my days in the Army, "teaching" young lieutenants and hotshot young NCO's:The high competence, high arrogance leader can win any individual battle but lose the war.

  • Quote of the Day
    Rustmeister's Alehouse on August 17th, 2010
    This one from Tam:People talk about going through life in "Condition Yellow" like it's some kind of paranoia. It's not; it's merely staying aware of the world around you. It's not even necessarily a "tactical" thing, either. Being alert and aware of your surroundings can prevent all kinds of minor mishaps that can make life annoying, painful, e...
