One is transparent, the other can be seen straight through.

Remember when I asked you to read and then sign the petition to remove the Navy Distinguished Public Service Award from the cold grasping fingers of John Murtha? The signatures are way over 54,000 now, and still growing. Thank you for your support in this matter.

Cary, we’ll never see anything about this in the MSM!

Don’t bet on it. There are already rumblings, like this this piece from Bing West of the National Review Online (i know, but hey, it’s a start):

Distinguished Disservice

In bestowing the navy’s highest civilian medal, the Distinguished Public Service Award, upon Rep. John P. Murtha (D., Pa.) last month, the secretary of the Navy acted as a supplicant — an accountant happy to be given funds and disinclined to question the source. The secretary (Donald C. Winter, a Bush administration holdover who has since left the job) demonstrated that he did not understand his official role as a leader when the country is at war. Murtha smeared the reputation of a generation of Marines, and to reward him alongside several other members of Congress for earmarking funds served to exonerate the congressman, who never apologized for besmirching the honor of our fighting men.

So, why the mention of windows in the title? No, I am not shilling for Microsoft. I am, however, going to go over to the church this morning and start putting windows in the new building. It’s a retrofit, so there will be some challenges, but nothing I can’t handle.

Mmmmm – power tools and sawdust! I can hardly wait – but the church is located in an established neighborhood, so I have to wait until a “reasonable hour” before starting the work – can’t disturb the neighbors, you know!

Chat ya later…

1384 and a wake up!

Please, take a moment of your valuable time and go read and then sign the petition to have the Secretary of the Navy rescind the Department of the Navy Distinguished Public Service Award recently awarded to that vile non-supporter of the troops, John Murtha. I signed – I’m number 12236. Gawfer signed – he’s number 11022, and he’s the one who let me know about this. Once you sign, let me know in the comments which one you are! If you signed it because of hearing about it through somewhere else, let me know what number you are, anyway. I would love to give you an update on the number of signatures, but it is climbing so rapidly that anything I write here would be outdated by the time I clicked “update post,” but here goes, as of 0921 MST there were 13594 total signatures.

UPDATE (courtesy of Prying1): According to this, Mutha – I mean, Murtha – is very proud of bamboozling – I mean, receiving – this award.

I’ve gotta up my meds. My blood pressure is rising fast right now.

God Bless the United States of America.
