The more things change, the more they remain the same…

As the Instapundit is prone to say: They told me if I voted for McCain the Bush administration anti-terrorism policies would remain in place.  And they were right!

On the bright side, this is change I can believe in.

Over at The Corner they have a nice take on the big showdown between Cheney and Obama:

President Obama and former Vice President Cheney weren’t so much a study in contrast today as a portrait of harmony. Both men agree that the Bush administration’s anti-terrorist policies were largely correct. Cheney signaled his acceptance of this view by vigorously defending those policies. Obama signaled it by largely adopting those same policies and emitting a fog of words to cover up the fact.

I’d say that pretty much nails it.

Ah, looking at 3 days and no work.  Good stuff.

We had a very moving Honor Guard ceremony today to pay respects to the men and women who gave their lives for our freedom. 

Darts at Dolce tonight and the Dart League end of season tourney/awards banquet tomorrow.  Which makes this video about the proper way to drink soju all the more timely.  Not that there’s a wrong way to drink it.  Then again, not drinking it all may well be the most prudent course of action.  But no one has ever accused me of being a prude, so perhaps there is some soju in my near future.

The Second Infantry Division posed for a cool photo this week:

That’s about 5,000 soldiers from throughout Korea.  Nicely done.
