News, and Ass Kicking

What do you get when you cross a blog with video? You get a dumb combined word: vlog.

Dumb names aside, I suggest you check out rocketboom.com where a small group of people produce a daily newscast, three minutes long, and quite entertaining.

I read a comment online about our military efforts from someone who called themselves Josh. I don't know who Josh is, but I quasi-agree with him.

It is not the job of our military to do humanitarian work. The military's job is to kick f***ing ass when ass needs to be kicked. This was not a situation where ass needed to be kicked. There are other asses that needed kicking. This war is a waste of time and resources, now its a waste of lives.

Our ass kickers are stuck in a vulnerable position trying "nation build" -- which is exactly what Bush said wouldn't work in 2000. Let another task force handle the nation building -- UN or otherwise that is capable. Let our warriors return to ass kicking where asses need to be kicked (Osama Bin Laden, anyone?). This is what they are good at.


To clarify my stance, I don't think we should pull out our troops... we need to finish what we started. But in retrospect, with no WMDs and the terrible questionable intelligence that was used as initial justification, ass-kicking may have been better utilized elsewhere.

He updated it?


Yes, it appears I have updated funnybill.com. It's a work in progress. There were some issues with my hosting provider that, for a long time, prevented me from posting here. I've worked together a solution and may actually begin updating this again.

My posts (rants) about things in the news, things on the internet, or even your mom will be found right here. For your convenience, previews of my journal posts can be found on the main page of funnybill.com as well.
