Mudville Gazette

A MILBLOG

The Mudville Gazette is the on-line voice of an American warrior and his wife who stands by him. They prefer to see peaceful change render force of arms unnecessary. Until that day they stand fast with those who struggle for freedom, strike for reason, and pray for a better tomorrow.

Know why you haven't heard much about Tom DeLay's various "scandals" lately? Because America's congressional representatives are too busy scrambling to get their own trip reports in order. With all the crossing of tees and dotting of eyes (and shredding of this and burning of that) they just don't have time to give interviews about DeLay. Few of the people those Representatives "represent" will be shocked to learn that California's Maxine Waters is one of the top offenders.

So if 74% of Americans trust the military a great deal or quite a lot, and only 22% think the same of congress, how about we replace "Mobile Maxine" with an Operation IRAQI FREEDOM veteran?

A MilBlogger even?

You've probably read Rusten Currie's blog, Sic Vis Pacem, Para Bellum, but if you haven't lately then you might have missed this announcement of how he'll be spending his time after re-deploying from Iraq

Sometimes the only way to change the system, is to become a part of it. I am a firm believer in a government that is run by its citizens. For the the purpose of preserving the rights of its citizens. The only way I think that I can help after my time here is to continue to serve. Essayons! I will try...

Of course, if he wins that means Maxine Waters will be seeking employment elsewhere.

I will also be starting another blog off of this one. http://currierd.typepad.com/currie_for_congress/. I will no longer be associating my experiences in Iraq and the campaign on the same blog, I have and continue to think it in poor taste on my part to do this, so anything relating to Currie for Congress will be on the official website, (to be initiated this week), and any thoughts or comments relating to it will be on the campaign blog.
