We know their end is near.'"

BLACKFIVE: "Outside the Wire" - Get Your Copy Now
Watch the trailer.
BLACKFIVE: "Outside the Wire" - Get Your Copy Now: "There are three components to 'Outside the Wire':
'Danger Close' (discussed above, also) is an up-close, in-depth look at a complex attack by Al Qaida on small, distant U.S. Army outpost on the edge of the Euphrates river valley. JD Johannes was the only reporter to witness the attack and followed the US Army paratroopers into combat--nearly getting himself killed.
'Anbar Awkens' shows the greatest turn-around of the Iraq War--the tribes of Al Anbar province joining with the coalition to fight Al Qaida--from the perspective of the Jumayli tribe. The Jumayli tribe--with no prompting from the Coalition--turned on Al Qaida and engaged in a serious gun-battle with Al Qaida before formally joining with the coalition.
'Baghdad Surge' is a look at the surge from asphalt level. This episode follows a U.S. Army infantry Captain through a 'day-of-the-surge' and the modern three-block-war.
Get the DVD today."

Muskegon casino info
An e-mail going around town about opposition to the indian casino plans for Muskegon.
The entire set of e-mails is in the "comments" section below.
Some of you live and/or work in the City of Muskegon. Apparently the mayor and majority of City Commissioners are unwilling to even entertain discussions with anyone ‘outside’ Muskegon---despite the fact that a casino would devastate the entire region, not just this wonderful, reviving small community. Even more unthinkable would be multiple casinos established by multiple tribes—which Commissioners’ Municipal Service Agreement made with the LDV tribe recently notes is possible.

Obama's church
No wonder the inner city culture is so disfunctional
"Senator Barack Obama is not a Muslim, contrary to invidious rumors. But he belongs to a Christian church whose doctrine casts Jesus Christ as a 'black messiah' and blacks as 'the chosen people'. At best, this is a radically different kind of Christianity than most Americans acknowledge; at worst it is an ethnocentric heresy."
