• SC and I will be at the Zompire Film Festival this weekend, enjoying independent Zombie and Vampire movies galore. It's at the Clinton Street Theater and runs 6-late Saturday October 11, 1-late Sunday October 12. Tickets are $15 for Saturday, $30 for Sunday, $40 for the whole thing. See you there?


• Homeland Security will start screening persons entering the US via airplane for Ebola this weekend.


• The war in Afghanistan turns 13. What do you get a war for its bar mitzvah?


• Revenge Porn is horrifying; I think everyone who isn't a sociopath can agree on that. Do we make it illegal, and if so, how? The debate rages here, here, and here.


• One of the best war photos of 2014, hands down

Sweet 13

What to give for that special 13th anniversary? An apology and an quick exit...along with taking all the people who are in danger of death because they worked with us like the interpreters like we promised.

I can't see how we can take practically an entire tribal group (the Hmong) and yet freak out over people our soldiers and contractors worked and lived with just because SOME might be bad. That's like saying we should fire an entire police force because two officers roughed up a suspect.

As for dealing with ISIS, well back in TF-Phoenix V, we came up with frozen pork bullets as a possible solution. >=)~
