Remembrance.
April 17 - 22 are National Days of Remembrance - remembering the Holocaust. An excellent source of history and information can be found at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. The USHMM site also features news about the current-day genocide in Darfur.

Goofus in Damascus.
Foreign Minister Nancy Pelosi delivers the "Israel peace message" to Assad; too bad it was the wrong message. Her "Dear Commandante" moment...

Lack of Context.
Michael Ledeen of National Review Online reminds us of an incident in 2006 in which Iranian troops attempted a smash and grab of American troops, at the Iraq-Iran border. The Yanks just shot their way out of it. Any word of this in Mainstream Meatpacker World? It provides valuable context for an ongoing strategy of Iranian kidnapping as diplomatic tool.

Hell Hath No Fury Like the Media Scorned.
John McCain walked the streets of Bagdhad yesterday, and suggested that the Mainstream Meatpackers were not reporting the whole story there (not that it's a picnic). The MSM are now crowding in to get their licks in on McCain: delusional, sellout, naive, blah-blah-blah. Their darling is now their dog. McCain and Lieberman acknowledge the mismanagment of the Iraq War, but nevertheless understand the stakes in victory or defeat, while the MSM wants the simple to digest story of Iraq = Vietnam. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi flies to Damascus acting as the Alternate POTUS, getting the Meatpacker Seal of Approval.

Utter Madness.
The Senate Dems and a few choice Republicans have gone mad... mad... and voted to hang the troop withdrawl on the Iraq-Afghanistan funding bill. This is foolish at the least, and a dangerous display of petty politics in the midst of war against an enemy that wants to annihilate Western Civilization. Perhaps this moment will be remembered in a volume by some future Gibbon.

Free Speech.
Last Saturday, Deaddrifts personnel found themselves at Herb David Guitar Studio, on Liberty Street in Ann Arbor. We witnessed Ann Arbor's protest march against the War in Iraq. It looked like it was attended by about three hundred persons, with sentiments ranging from the sincere ("We support our troops - bring them home") to the stupid ("Bush's Plan: Start Killing, then Drilling"). And of course the "No Wars for Israel" flatheads. The First Amendment in full display. Just one complaint: please don't have little kids (the under eight crowd) march and hold signs for a political expression they can't possibly fathom.

Dawgrights.
The has been quite a ruckus recently in the Ann Arbor News concerning unleashed dogs in local parks. Some have characterized such canines as the Packhounds of the Apocalypse, or as the direct descendants of the rabid hounddog from To Kill a Mockingbird. Part of this fear is based on experience with dogs with slob owners. If your dog is aggressive, you can't have him off a leash, period. You should clean up after your dog, although the claim that a few dozen dogvistors will choke the local park watershed with poop is far fetched (if not, we had better also round up and cage the permanent park residents like squirrels, raccoons, birds, and the feral cats).
But it's cruel to keep a dog penned, housebound, or leashed for the entire lives. Dogs need to sniff, explore, woof, point, chase things and dig stuff up - much like guys. Unfortunately it is possible in early 21st century OprahAmerica to deny these things to dogs by the compulsive "I must have complete access and total control over my environment on my terms and at my whim" types, assisted by hyperlitigous bottom feeders and spineless bureaucrats. Therefore, we need some natural areas that are off limits to such control freaks but are reserved for dogs and their human companions to explore their universe.

Mr. Tancredo will Enjoy his Cigar.
Congressman Tom Tancredo was approached by Capitol police because some crybaby whined about his cigar smoke. Here's his response.

The Return of Radical Chic.
In his essay "Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers", Tom Wolfe describes the bizzare scene of Leonard Bernstein's cocktail party with his guests of honor - the Black Panthers. Wolfe's essay highlights the sad psychological cravings for self-loathing and a dippy romanticism for antiliberal thuggery and totalitarianism exhibited by many of the American Left. And it's a useful lens through which to view much of the dog-piling going on about the current Iraq crisis and the War Against Islamofascism.

Dumber than You Can Imagine.
Summaries of the Nut-Fest in DC, and other locations from last weekend, can be found at LGF, Age of Hooper, and Trantor. The events included a throwback to the '60s with Jackass Lefties attempting to spit on an American soldier, Joshua Sparling.
