I listened to this radio program last night and it was really awesome to hear Debbie Tell her sons story first hand. He was killed in action in Iraq.
Here is the blurb from the radio show sight:

“Debbie Lee is a Gold Star Mom and the mother of the first Seal, Marc Alan Lee, killed in action in Iraq on August 2, 2006. Debbie was in town for a Memorial Service at Fort Rosecrans for Marc along with many of the Seal Team. Debbie also shares with us her year she has had and the many wonderful things that have happened to her. A very upbeat Mom who takes great pride in being the Mom of a hero and the principles he believed in. An excellent interview you will not want to miss nor the surprises she shares along the way.”

Go Here to read the whole story
“Michael Goldfarb in the Weekly Standard has just broken news on the Weekly Standard that can only result in the firing of, at the minimum, Franklin Foer, editor of the once-respected New Republic. You simply cannot publish anti-military stories, inflammatory and controversial on their face, without subjecting the wild claims to the most strict fact-checking measures possible. Yet Mr. Foer, it now appears, did just that.”
These goons in the left media just don’t get the fact that the Viet Nam days are over. No more will they be able to print bogus stories about military atrocities that did not happen to give much aid and comfort to the other side. I have an idea for Mr. Foer….why don’t you take a trip, over to Iraq. You know, like a real reporter, and look around for yourself. Talk to our soldiers, watch them work, and then take the time to write an op ed for the New York Times about what you saw.
This “education” might be just the right step Mr. Foer, for getting your journalistic credentials back.

China tries to put a spin on forced abortions: Go here
Chinas one child policy is really sick. Here is some of the text of the article.
“WORRIED that crude language may hamper its world image, China has banned the use of slogans like “Raise fewer babies but more piggies” to promote family planning,
The slogans are painted on walls and houses across China, but many are too coarse or even wrongly written, said the official Xinhua news agency citing a notice from the National Population and Family Planning Commission.
Others judged offensive include “Houses toppled, cows confiscated, if abortion demand rejected” and “One more baby means one more tomb”.
“Many slogans promoting the family planning policy are poorly worded, or full of strong language that leave an impression of simply forcing people to give up having more babies, causing misunderstanding on the policy and even tarnishing the image of the government,” the report added.
“If such low-quality slogans, which may cause public complaint and resentment, are not corrected and remain where they are, the country’s family planning efforts in the new era will be hindered,” it said.
The commission has come up with 190 new slogans that are judged more tasteful, such as: “The Mother Earth is too tired to sustain more children.”
Family planning rules allow most couples to have just one child. The restrictions have bolstered a traditional bias for male offspring and resulted in abortions, killings or abandonment of baby girls.”
