THe US Army currently sponsors the 01 Chevrolet in NASCAR Nextel Cup competition. The Army’s colors will appear on the famed #8 Chevy currently piloted by Dale Earnhardt Jr in the 2008 season.
From an “Army of 1” to an “Army of 8”? Yep, that’s a surge all right.

In the best news the Bill of Rights has had in a while, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales resigned today. He is at least guilty of being an incompetent and ineffective manager.
When CNN first broke the story, their “informed sources” mentioned DHS Secretary Michael “Gut Feeling” Chertoff, another major league Administration lickspittle, as a replacement. This [...]
I’m in front of the teevee in tbbs World HQ, watching coverage of the Minneapolis bridge collapse. MSNBC’s coverage of the incident was reminiscent of old-time reporting, i.e., just the facts. Interviews with eyewitnesses, photos from local media outlets, and a noticeable lack of talking heads, experts, and pontificators. Just the news; [...]
Paula Zahn is jumping ship being released from her excreble prime-time CNN gig, to land again at Fox News, where I’m sure she will continue to distinguish herself in “broadcast journalism”.
Campbell Brown, currently at NBC will take over Paula’s prime-time slot. I actually liked Campbell Brown.
And the whole story differs little from the A-list blogger [...]

Back home, and catching up on news, I see that there were several fireworks accidents here in NoVA last night.
The one that will get the most press is the one on the National Mall; second will be the one in Vienna VA, where SWMBO and I spent many memorable Fourths, before our gracious host and [...]
NASCAR, apparently not content to merely own the racing business, wants to dominate it. Team sponsors are hard to come by. At $15 million and up for a season, small wonder.
Now, NASCAR sees fit to sue AT&T for $100 million.
Man, when your sponsor is acquired by another, it seems to me there should [...]
By accent anyhow, at least according to this:
What American accent do you have? (Best version so far)

And the story of sad sack Andrew Speaker continues to unfold. The poor mope has known about his tuberculosis since the first of the year, but he’s engaged to be married, and heads off to Greece 1 on his honeymoon or whatever.
On the way, we’ve seen DHS/TSA/Customs doing what they do best: pissing away [...]
Jamison Stone, age 11, of Montgomery AL, has bagged a wild boar using a pistol. This specimen measured 9 feet, 4 inches from snout to tail, and weighed in at 1050+ pounds. Or, as the cited article puts it:
Think hams as big as car tires.
They’re mounting the head, which measures 54 inches in circumference, [...]
