I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who gagged when Lara Logan played cheerleader on CNN last weekend.

Quote of the year (it’s only July, I know):
“Anyone who wants to know why network television news hasn’t mattered since the seventies just needs to check out this appearance by Logan. Here’s CBS’s chief foreign correspondent saying out loud on TV that when the man running a war that’s killing thousands of young men and women every year steps on his own dick in front of a journalist, that journalist is supposed to eat the story so as not to embarrass the flag.”

Then find said perspective here.

They’re memoirs of a soldier who is recently deceased at the age of 106. There’s five other memoirs in the gallery, I haven’t read through them all yet but I plan on it.

Fascinating, and saddening. I can appreciate someone speaking candidly about those types of situations though … people can’t really speak honestly about stuff that doesn’t matter. And all this, does.
