There is a story over at Kevin Sites “Hot Zone” about a young officer who is refusing to be deployed to Iraq.

His name is Ehren Watada and will be in court Thursday on several charges that apparently stem from his refusal to deploy to Iraq, citing the war is “illegal.” An official court martial is expected against the lieutenant for Feb. 5.

I suggest you read the article about a name that, if not suppressed by mainstream media, might become a household word.  He’s looking at six years in jail for his beliefs.

What say you?

Quaint, ain’t it.

If you want to see a really good picture instead of the drivel I’m putting up you need to go see Squirrely.

Go here.

I insist.

I was a huge critic of Joe Lieberman during last year’s election. I still thought he was underhanded in the entire Ned Lamont deal, but he was voted in and voters stuck him back in office.

But I thought there might be consquences. And it seems I was right.

After the senator’s Nov. 7 victory under the Connecticut for Lieberman Party banner, John Orman switched his party affiliation from Democrat to Connecticut for Lieberman and voted himself chairman.

Orman, a political science professor who ran briefly against Lieberman last year, said only critics, bloggers and anyone named Lieberman can join the party, which he said would be a watchdog of the senator’s actions.

Lieberman will be one to watch going into the session of Congress. Some people might thing that he will be a rogue and a rebel because of his independent status.

But there was a sense of betrayal amongst his beloved democrats, and I think republicans, although they will wine and dine him to get his much needed vote on the Senate floor for pivotal bills, aren’t going to trust him.

I think Joe will continue to do what he has been doing and that is be true to Joe. He likes his pretty office in Washington. He’s proven he’ll do anything to keep it.

Let me just say, this is a fine looking sidewalk.

I see it everyday and it gets tiresome, but I sort of dug it today.
