For any Front Range reader(s) of CWMG, or any others who have an interest in the TV news business, check out News Blab. Published by "Blabbing Mike," this site shows a sort of behind the scenes view of Colorado Springs TV news and sometimes a little about Denver. "News About News, Media & More" as he puts it. Mike seems to be pretty even handed with his criticisms as well as compliments. On the

Ya just gotta love this: "My name is Aban Elias from Denver, Colorado," an Arabiya transcript quoted the man as saying. ''I am a civil engineer working in Baghdad . . . and we are working with the Pentagon. . . . I was kidnapped, and I call upon Muslim organizations to interfere to release me." We can hear it now: Abu: "Look here, we just captured a running pig-dog American! Let's do to him

Today, barbers employed by a contractor at the US Air Force Academy decided to form a picket line at the Academy's south gate. They are represented by the United Food and Commecial Workers, local 7. You gotta love how these people operate. As soon as the tv cameras showed up for the 'photo op,' their pr flack immediately showed the picketers how to march and which chants to bleat.

If any of you have been paying attention, there's something called the Spirit of America challenge. The idea is to raise money so that the Marines in Iraq can buy equipment to start up media outlets to provide an alternative to al Jazeera, al Arabiya, et al. We applaud the private initiative. However, at the risk of being called cruel, heartless bastards (or worse), we will refrain from

From the AP: "Marines and former Iraqi generals were negotiating a pullback of U.S. forces from Fallujah, and a U.S. commander said Thursday a tentative deal on ending the siege had been reached. But a Pentagon official said the agreement was still not final." We here at CWMG are getting mighty tired of this compassionate combat.

We did our part to celebrate 'Earth Day' by tossing our empty soda cans in the trash. Born on this day (Gregorian calendar) in 1870, V. I. Lenin.

"We will all die one day. Nothing will change. If by Apache or by cardiac arrest, I prefer Apache," so said the Pediatrician of Death, er, Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi.

Hanging from each cross is a man. Two of the men are convicted criminals. The third claims to be the son of G-d. He is known as Jesus. He is broken and bleeding from abuse at the hands of the Romans.

We here at CWMG are not especially big sports fans, though we do enjoy watching post-season baseball. Anyway, while we were at the first round of the NCAA men's basketball tournament at the Pepsi Center in Denver, covering the Air Force Academy/UNC game for our employer, we could not fail to notice that the place was packed to the rafters. Likewise for Broncos games. This got us to thinking.

Today, at the American Numismatic Association's Money Museum here in Colorado Springs, was the public debut of a 1794 silver dollar. "So what?" you may ask.

The self-described 'custodian' of the piece, Steven Contursi of California, says: "This coin is to our economy and

We here at CWMG don't like to argue with success. For it is by the efforts and imaginations of the risk takers, the entrepreneurs and the 'greedy capitalists' that we can enjoy the standard of living we have in the USA.

Lots of good stuff at Front Page Magazine. What caught our collective eye was this item, A Faith-Based Case for Gulags by Johannes L.

If all you know about the 'west' was learned from the movies, maybe you should give this a read. The premise of this essay is that the American West of the 19th century was not the violence plagued land of desperadoes, vigilantes and other neer-do-wells. Rather, it was populated by enterprising individuals who sought escape from the east coast in order to make their own way in the world: ". . .

Nobody asked me, but. . . This whole 'gay marriage' thing is starting to get me really irritated. For years now, gays and their sympathizers have made the effort to gain a measure of respect and acceptance for their 'lifestyle choices.' For the most part they have succeeded and for the most part, peacefully. I really don't care if Bruce and Frank drill for mud in the privacy of their bedroom.

We thought that we should keep the CWMG reader(s) abreast of this titillating story, but we find it hard to really care.* It should be self-evident that most "artists" and "entertainers" are just big f***ing idiots.

The peace loving culture of death, that goes by the name of 'the Palestinians,' rolls merrily along, this time taking the lives of four Israelis. The interesting twist to this otherwise despicable act is this: "It

Thursday's Blackhawk crash brings the total number of servicemembers killed during the war on Iraq to 492 (note: the total on this page does not reflect the 9 soldiers killed in the latest crash). The press works itself into a tizzy over the number of our uniformed men and women killed over there. We here at CWMG think it's time for some perspective: For the "major combat operations" phase (20

Nine soldiers killed when a US Army UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter crashes in Iraq on Thursday, 8 January. The cause of the crash is under investigation, thiugh, preliminary reports indicate it was shot down. The helo was clearly marked with a red cross, standard for a medevac unit. The crash occured about 0220 Baghdad time, so it's unlikely the markings would have been visible. Four of those

The national terror alert level has been lowered to 'Bert', um, 'yellow.' However, for airlines and airports, they will stay at 'Ernie', make that 'orange.' As of this writing, the DHS have not mentioned this on their own website!

Yawn, another tape from 'OBL.' The CIA says the voice on the tape is 'likely' that of OBL. We here at CWMG believe he is worm food.

It has come to our attention that the title of this blog and the lack of an illustrative photo may be construed as misleading at the least. We have a few pics laying around the office, but, cheap bastards that we are, we are unable to upload them with the free Blogspot service.

"We would not know their names today if these men had been pessimists." So said President Bush as he commemorated the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers history making flight. Unfortunately, low engine power and a drop in wind speed conspired to keep the replica Wright Flyer from achieving that which propelled the Wright brothers into history.
