"Walking on history"
Glenn Reynolds linked last night to Acute Politics, a new blog from a soldier in Iraq. The guy writes better than John Kerry, and injects meaning into the politician's cliché that our soldiers are astonishing young men and women.

Yeah, Tigerhawk--it's VERY cliche. This kids sounds like a young George Patton in the negative sense. But keep trying. Sooner or later you all will find your archtypal warrior-poet-super robot patriot (or Fox News will create one). My favorite soldier? Dwight D Eishenhower, lamenting in 1961 about the dawn the of military-industrial complex. Indeed, Bush has gotten so craven that he's hired back old iraq diplomat like Paul carny who were fired by Bremer b/c they wanted to build up Iraqi industry without using big big big US contractors.
I'll follow this blogger and see what develops. Nothing is scarier than a true believer...

P.S. If he writes "better than John Kerry," then wow...I wonder what further order of magnitude he soars above my favorite "Caucasian affirmative action" Yalie, George W. Bush. ;-)
What, no post on Dr. King on his birthday?

Chris, if it will make you feel any better I didn't write about Columbus on Columbus Day, either.
You make a good point, though: King was a remarkable guy. I'll see what I can put up.

CC - Bush's SAT's and Officer Candidacy test were higher than Kerry's. Estimated IQ = 126. Not world-beating, but 95th percentile.
But as you said, keep trying. Maybe you'll find something that isn't a cliche to write yourself.
