No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

The Cheddar invasion of DC continues with Sean Hackbarth’s acceptance of a job on Team Fred. Outstanding.

Between him and Kevin (formerly of Lakeshore Laments), we’ll clean up DC yet.

CNN desperately seeking Tet in Afghanistan

(H/T – Ace)

Notice this headline on an AP dispatch – Taliban stages brazen attack on U.S. base

AP is a little better in the actual story –

A group of 75 Taliban militants tried to overrun a U.S.-led coalition base in southern Afghanistan on Tuesday, a rare frontal attack that left more than 20 militants dead, the coalition said in a statement.

The insurgents attacked Firebase Anaconda from three sides, using gunfire, grenades and 107 mm rockets, the coalition said. A joint Afghan-U.S. force repelled the attack with mortars, machine guns and air support.

“Almost two dozen insurgents were confirmed killed in the attack,” the statement said. Two girls and two Afghan soldiers were wounded during the fight in Uruzgan province, it said…..

“The inability of the insurgent forces to inflict any severe damage on Firebase Anaconda, while being simultaneously decimated in the process, should be a clear indication of the ineffectiveness of their fighters,” said Army Capt. Vanessa R. Bowman, a coalition spokeswoman.

Sure looks like we have to drop everything in Iraq to beat back the vaunted Taliban Tet “offensive” </sarcasm_explosive>.

On vacation (almost)

by @ 13:12. Filed under The Blog.

Dunno if I’ll have anything up before I leave just after dawn tomorrow, so I hope my trio of guest-bloggers have some stuff. If you don’t hear from me before then, see you around the 18th.

And yes, I’ll be eating plenty of walleye and drinking directly out of various Minnesota/Ontario lakes (don’t try that in Wisconsin).

Testing 1-2-3

by @ 12:34. Filed under Miscellaneous.

This is a test of the Steve is almost on vacation blogger fill-in system.

If this were an actual vacation emergency this post might  have been filled with some useless bit of information or a provocative thought to ponder.

 In the event of an actual vacation hopefully a suitable replacement will be found.

 We  will now  return to our regularly scheduled blogging.

This was only a test.
