*** Blackfive introduces us to Specialist Garriga and Corporal Martinez, "Soldiers That You Should Know:"

Now he uses his scars to help other soldiers. "To catch people's attention," he said. "I am so confident that if you will sit down and talk to me, that you will not notice the scars anymore. You will see that I am still a human being, that I have a sense of humor and like to go and have a good time."

Two inspiring men; the next time that you feel the urge to complain, think about their courage in the face of such adversity.

*** Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum of human nobility, Right Wing News plumbs the hate sewer of the Democratic Underground:

"I don't support them (the troops). We've exported our illiterate little kids with their tiny brains filled with images of Rambo. We've armed them and told them the enemy is a demon who doesn't deserve to live. Most of them are more than willing to believe that. They are stupid and dangerous and have no intellectual capacity to grasp basic concepts of democracy. They're a symptom of a disease that infects my country."

Also inspiring individuals; the next time that you need to get angry, think about these spoiled parasites sitting on their couch and ironically deriding men that are dying to bring "the basic concepts of democracy" to Iraq and Afghanistan.

*** Did you forget last week's anniversary? I did:

Today is the 25th anniversary of the day the jihadis declared war on America. On Nov. 4, 1979 Islamist students in Tehran overan the U.S. embassy and took 66 Americans hostage. The hostages were held for 444 days. They were released on Jan. 20, 1981--the day Ronald Reagan was sworn into office.

What to send ... a belated card? Flowers? Bunker-busting nuclear-tipped cruise missiles aimed at budding nuclear reactors?

*** Wizbang reviews an MSM dinosaur's latest limp-wristed slap at bloggers over the inaccurate exit polling:

For starters, the MSM did NOT know they were wrong because, let's review, they've s[p]ent a week now telling us how shocked they were when the votes were counted. The MSM all believed the numbers. To now say "Oh we knew better it was the stupid bloggers who fell for bad data," is just an obvious attempt to take a swipe at the bloggers who took CBS down a notch. (or 3)
...
The whole right side of the blogosphere knew the numbers were bogus long before CBS and the MSM knew.

Yup. The author (a former CBS newsman) conveniently ignores the fact that the portion of the blogosphere that hyped the false exit polls had nothing to do with the bloggers that gave CBS a headache.

*** And finally, Protein Wisdom recreates Janeane Gaerofolo's post-election move to Canada and then eavesdrops on the conversation of two very nervous Fallujan terrorists.

Fake but accurate. More later.
