If you’re wondering where I was today, Uncle Jimbo and I went to harrass Lyndie England (the genital-pointing skank of Abu Ghraib fame) at the Library of Congress. Unfortunately, (or fortunately depending on your view) she cancelled it. It was intended to be a veteran event and she was supposed to talk about the book she wrote about the incident, since now she can’t swing a job at MacDonald’s with that famous face – and who knows where those hands have been.<\/p>\n
The tip came from Small Wars Journal<\/a> by way of Greyhawk (who wanted us to remind her of this incident<\/a>).<\/p>\n The event is sponsored by the Library of Congress Professional Association\u2019s Veterans Forum and its leader LOC employee and Vietnam Veteran Bob Moore. Veteran Moore has weathered a wave of criticism in recent days, but he remains steadfast in his hatred for Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney and his admiration for Lynndie England\u2019s \u201cguts.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Well, he remained steadfast until today when they canceled the event. So Jimbo and I took the opportunity to drink a pitcher, eat grub and comment on every tourist and intern that passed our cafe table on South Capitol Street. Lyndie England still rots. <\/p>\n UPDATE: <\/strong>When I got home, someone emailed to say the event had been canceled out of “safety concerns” for the staff at the Library of Congress. I guess SPLC heard I was going.<\/p>\n Updated again: <\/strong>You get to see how much weight I put on after three months of sitting in my easy chair with my foot elevated. Look, Ma, I’m on SOG Media;<\/p>\n
