Spank That Donkey Reminded Me

I needed to tell everyone about a very cool American soldier who is now writing for the Washington Times.
I met CJ in February of 2006, right after he got back from Iraq. He and his family were playing tourist the same day I held my first official counter-protest of worldcantwait. We somehow got connected and he joined DCProtestWarrior and signed up for FreeRepublic immediately.
We have been friends ever since and he has written some nice things about me.

He and Troy Stewart from Bouhammer are doing some great stuff.

Some very nice things were written about milbloggers.
(There was nothing there I didn't already know)

CJ's piece is here.
I won't tell you what he said about it in his email.

I'm Back From The Secret Conclave

"It was a secret meeting in the dead of the night with mysterious sanctimony
In accordance with prescribed rituals and time-honored ceremony.
Matters of grave concern were weighed with dedicated caution.......

Like whether or not the girl at the next table was sporting naturals or silicone"
(silicone, according to Army Girl and she should know, hers are natural and Uncle Jimbo who just knows about these things)

Seriously, I had a meeting with Blackfive, Uncle Jimbo, Wolf, Thus Spake Ortner, Army Girl, Jonn Lilyea and a young lady who is going to be a force to be rekoned with.
Katie, it was an honor to make your acquaintence. Next time, I'll make a pass at you I promise.
I missed COB6 due to a conflict.

I laid out my fund raising proposal and everyone is onboard. Matt assured me that Blackfive is going to help in anyway they can and Uncle Jimbo will be the Master of Ceremonies.

So now I have to pitch this Victory Celebration to everyone and anyone who might want to donate a few thousand to help put it together.

Donations for this event are tax deductible BTW; the IRS says so.
Google IRS Ruling 84-140.


Keep your eye on Blackfive folks. There is great stuff coming.
