Odds & Ends

First let me thank the Frogosphere from the bottom of my heart for your kind wishes and prayers for my recovery. Day 2 was kind of rough but it should be smooth sailing from here on out.

I'd also like to thank you for saving me from the shame and humilation of finishing behind the Officer's Club blog in the Weblog Awards. Coming in 3rd twice in a row is more than I deserve and I'm glad Matt & Jimbo won the honors. Two SOF blogs in the top 3 ain't bad! Thunder6 is swingin' the pipe as we speak and I congratulate him not only on his strong showing, but especially for his brave service.

Quickies:

No matter what the McCain interrogation bill says, waterboarding not only works every time, it also doesn't leave any tell tale evidence except that some tangos won't smell so bad after they're done 'drowning'!

Note to the NYT/CIA/NSA crybabies: Trust me, government employees don't want to spend one extra second listening to you lie to your wives that you are staying in the hotel room instead of chasing skirts when you are overseas and all the Americans I know WANT the US to listen in on the bad guys so stop worrying about it.

Memo to Senate Democrats: Glad to hear you have your priorities straight. Now that we've won the GWOT, we can bag the Patriot Act so you can focus on the important stuff like winning back the House in '06 in time to impeach Chimpy Bushitlerburton, right Mr. Kerry?
