This weekend my friend Todd Albertson dropped by on his way from Australia to Tailand, a rather circuitous route if you ask me. We spent a day redesigning my web site, getting me hooked into LinkedIn.com and linking the Allies Section of this site to victorycauscus.com.

The Victory Caucus is a group of knowledgeable observers and military professionals who don't like war but understand that pulling out of Iraq would mean genocide there, a possible attack against Israel and an undoubted increase of terrorism in the West. That's the West, not just the hated U.S. The chorus masters of Old Media would like to give the field to Democrats and wobbly Republicans who are, perhaps unwittingly, in favor of defeat. The Victory Caucus is corrective reading for anyone who doesn't have his head too firmly wedged up his nether throat.

On a lighter note Todd and I spent a great amount of time pirating our own video, The Proverb, so that it may be seen in all of its ten-minute, ultra low budget, epic entirity. It can still be bought or rented, but only on jeffandrus.com do you get the freebe.

Why? Because I love each and every one of you.

But then you have to read a little bit before you actually get to the video because I am, for all my good qualities, somewhat vain.
