Headline of the day: American Woman Took Down Jihadi Hasan at Fort Hood

Pamela Geller has the headline of the day over at Atlas Shrugs: American Woman Took Down Jihadi Hasan at Fort Hood.

In addition to the “says-it-all” headline, Pamela also has more info on hero M.P. Kim Munley who shot and disabled the shooter in this week’s massacre at Fort Hood in Texas, including this great photo of her with country singer Dierks Bentley, and Kim’s online bio.

Maggie Thornton also has a ton of great coverage on this incident and the jihadi killer on Maggie’s Notebook (see the U.S. Army category). Be sure to check it out.

 

See No Evil

I was gearing up to blame ‘the army’s culture of guns,’ but now I’m leaning more toward ‘alienating anti-Muslim environment.’

Operation Troop Aid Honors Gary Sinise With ‘Patriot Award’

Award winning actor joins Garth Brooks, Toby Keith and others as honorary board member for supporting U.S. soldiers

The following is from Operation Troop Aid (OTA):

Operation Troop Aid (OTA), a nonprofit organization which supports deployed U.S. soldiers, recently honored Emmy and Golden Globe Award winning actor Gary Sinise with the 2009 Operation Troop Aid “Patriot Award.”

Presented annually by OTA to celebrities that champion the men and women serving in the American Armed Forces, the CSI: NY actor was awarded the Eagle Trophy for visiting troops overseas and at local hospitals, securing funds for various military charities and for raising awareness for deployed military through being executive producer of Brothers at War, a documentary film about military families during the Iraq war. Well known for his role as Lieutenant Dan Taylor in the acclaimed film, Forrest Gump, Sinise further travels and performs for troops as a member of his own Lt. Dan Band.

“I am honored to receive this great award,” says Sinise. “I am just doing what I love to do – supporting our brave men and women who give their lives for our freedom.”

In addition to receiving the Eagle Trophy and a bottle of Red, White and Blueberry Valenzano Patriotic Wine, Sinise joins past Patriot Award recipients and OTA supporters Garth Brooks, Toby Keith, Darryl Worley, Aaron Tippin, Stephen Cochran and Adam Gregory as an Honorary OTA Board Member. $2500 worth of OTA care packages were also sent to deployed US Troops in Sinise’s name.

OTA founder and executive director Mark Woods says, “There are a number of gracious celebrities that are doing so much to support deployed U.S. Troops and Gary continues to go above and beyond the call of patriotic dedication. For that, OTA and all the men and women serving our country are grateful.”
Sinise currently stars in CBS’s CSI: NY as Detective Mac Taylor. He recently narrated a biography for Navy SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael A. Monsoor at the Republican National Convention in support of John McCain’s candidacy for President of the United States of America. In December 2008 he was awarded the Presidential Citizen Medal, the second highest civilian medal awarded to U.S. civilians, for his humanitarian contributions to Iraqi school children and his involvement supporting U.S. Soldiers.

Founded in 2005 by 21-year military veteran, Mark Woods, Operation Troop Aid provides care packages for deployed U.S. Service Members with revenue generated through professional concert promotions and public financial generosity. OTA is a nonprofit corporation striving to make a positive difference and inspire the Armed Forces by letting them know Americans stand with them.

Fun Facts Of The Day

To survive in hostile environments, cockroaches rely on their own vermin: Blattabacterium, a microbe that hitched a ride inside roaches 140 million years ago, and hasn’t left since.
Researchers who sequenced the Blattabacterium genome have found that it converts waste into molecules necessary for a roach to survive. Every cockroach is a testimony to the power of recycling — thanks to their microbes, they don’t even need to pee.

While this may make the cockroach the envy of beer drinkers the world over, surely this will not spare them from the bottom of our shoes moving in their direction at high velocity, nasty little bugs they are.

Surprisingly, a common fact about a different variety of cockroach, the DCius Democraticas Socialistus has gone unnoticed.  The DDS must spew raw feces from their mouths daily to survive.  Luckily, there is a lower form of cockroach, the North American Entitlement Serf, that finds the feces an irresistible treat and gobbles it up as quickly as its spewed.  Thus keeping our streets clean.

The scientific community could not be reached for comment.

Obama Praised for Golf, Bush Demonized

Barack Obama has already matched George W. Bush’s 24 rounds on the golf course in 10 short months what took Bush 34 months.  Eventually, Bush quite all together because of media criticism.

As USA Today points out:

The Oval’s good friend Mark Knoller of CBS News reports that Obama on Sunday played his 24th round of golf since his inauguration Jan. 20 — matching Bush’s presidential total, which he racked up in two years and 10 months. …President Bush played his last round in 2003, telling reporters he didn’t think it was appropriate to play the game with the  U.S. at war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Previously, Bush’s mixing of golf and foreign policy had gotten him into trouble.

Despite two war locations, a massive recession, 10 percent unemployment, and a runaway spending, Obama’s golf game is not criticized by the media.  However, when Bush played golf he was demonized.  Can somebody say “double standard” out there?

This is for the Norman Rockwell fans, and was sent to us by Andrew Gillette, who long-term readers will remember spoke with us in January about his own art.

The following, however is from the iOwnTheWorld.com, which is a collection of (great!) Obama photoshops. In case you’re too young to be familiar with Norman Rockwell, here’s a link to the original classic painting.
