Is there some weird star alignment happening today to be aware of? We always get our share of complaints, but something seems to be in the air today. I honestly have no idea how anyone can complain The Corner was boring today or, more importantly, that there was no sense that we’re at war today or anyday. Anyway, another e-mail:

Being an avid corner devotee I think maybe I’ve finally figured something out about life and politics and news.
Over on the main page there is a theme that we are at war and reminders not to forget this reality.
In the news there are headlines like the one above and it’s getting more and more Walter-Cronkite-ish all the time with casualty figures of 8, 10, 14, just like the “good-old-days” of Vietnam.
If you only visited the corner however, you wouldn’t know there was a war going on.
So, like I said, I think maybe I’m figuring a little something out about life, politics, news and war.

And I’m sparing you the endless typical but still frustrating chickenhawk ones in response to my Steven Vincent piece. How dare we support the war and not serve. How dare we support the war and not move the NR Headquarters to Basra.

Just call me Rosie the Riveter. We all play our roles.
