    Thank you for the post, Sarge. I seem to remember seeing stats that active-duty military strongly favored Obama. It might have been a stat about campaign contributions.

    Good stuff from Betzee and Donkey.

    And thanks for the post, Sail, which Betzee addressed. I'll just chime in.

    According to a ( U.S. ) Military Times poll, the troops are backing McCain 68% to 23%.

    Secessionist Party: Why should Alaska give their oil away, allow illegals to come in, and be expected to bail out the financials. -Makes sense to me and secession is a basic American right anyway. Maybe DC would finally listen if Alaska did secede. Even Lincoln endorsed secession.

    Hitchens goes after Palin, after first giving her the benefit of the doubt.

    They should instead be forced to perform useful labor, so they can be of some benefit to society, rather than a burden or eliminated.
