Here is the latest on our attempts to help a wounded Marine and his wife who were mugged recently in Washington DC. I have always liked Ann Coulter but that 2nd to last sentence rocks my world.

Update on Mark and Denise Beyers:
I paid a visit to Walter Reed this evening. I did not call ahead to the Beyers, because I was going there anyway and I was afraid they may have been pummeled with phone calls the past two days. (Found out later my suspicion was correct.) Spoke with Mark by phone from the lobby, and as soon as he heard I'm an old jarhead, he invited me up. At first I didn't recognize him, but then I realized we had met two weeks ago at a barbecue behind the Mologne House.
Mark's lovely wife Denise came back a few minutes after I arrived. She had picked up some items for dinner, so my invitation to take them out to eat was politely declined. I dropped off a card, and told them to prepare themselves to be overwhelmed with cards, letters and care packages. They seem surprised, so I shared the story of Joshua Sparling (see Sparling thread here). They said they had been swamped with phone calls (even their cell phones -- they have no idea how those numbers were known), especially by the media. The young couple seemed amused that this horrible incident occurred over three weeks ago, but nobody thought much of it until someone (apparently in Mark's home town) shared the story with the media. Now it's exploded.
I also learned a few details that have been either unclear or misreported. They were not in Bethesda, but in D.C. up near Bethesda. Denise was knocked down (she showed me a lovely scab on her knee), but she was not punched or kicked. And some stories supposedly said Mark's father was assaulted, but he was not even with them.
No items being sent to me for delivery to the Beyers have reached me yet, and Mark confirmed that he may well be going home to New York for good this week. So I obtained his father's address to ship everything for him. If they are still at Walter Reed next week, I will deliver the items then, and they've agreed to let me treat them to dinner then.
On a side note I had dinner with Mike Sparling, Joshua's father, this evening. He and Joshua went to the Freedom concert in San Diego, compliments of Sean Hannity and Kirby Wilbur out of Seattle. Joshua got to spend time with Ann Coulter while there. And get this. Joshua has a date with Ann sometime in the next few weeks! :-) It must have been that "man in uniform" thing!

That is hardly surprising.
"Yet, no, Virginia, there were no WMDs in Iraq"
Liberal JEDI Mind Mantra:
"These are not the WMD you are looking for..."
"These are not the WMD you are looking for..."
"These are not the WMD you are looking for..."
"These are not the WMD you are looking for..."
"These are not the WMD you are looking for..."
"These are not the WMD you are looking for..."
If Israel doesn't say it's true, it's a lie from now on as far as I'm concerned. All the journalists over there are just terrorist loving liberal slugs and should be tergetted as enemy combattants as far as I'm concerned. They have taken on the role as involved parties on the side of the terrorists, they should be targeted as such.
Hannity and BOR were already on the case last week...giving moonbat LIEberals more airtime.
They are getting caught because they are desperate and they hate the jews
see my tagline -- I love it!!
1.77 metric tons of enriched uranium, 1,700 gallons of chemical-weapon agents, chemical warheads containing the nerve agent cyclosarin, radioactive materials in powdered form designed for dispersal over population centers, artillery projectiles loaded with binary chemical agents, etc....
"Nope, no WMD here....what about under that rock over there?"
Bump to save for future reference.
Rush is quoting my post!
Kewl.
FNC is now talking about these fake stories from the Media
See, he is watching us!
Well GOOD for THEM! I was thinking only Brit would mention it on the Grapevine...
Hey Junk Journalist, it is not "Still half" it is UP TO half. Last year at this time on 36% of the population polled believed Iraq and WMDS. YOUR side is LOSING Asso Propaganda.
Hope they include Huttongate on that list.
Yellow cake in Africa??? Again, I am shocked!!!
FreeRepublic: Show prep to the stars.
"We haven't found any WMDs, yet, but the right-wingnuts think it might be under that two tons of enriched uranium over there."/sarc
ROFL.Time for Joe Wilson to go to Africa...it's The Yellowcake Season!
Drive-By Media lie to themselves, and then can't understand why the rest of us don't think like them.
