Sorry, limited lunch offerings today. However, you're invited to bring a covered dish. Details at the bottom of this post. For now, let's talk about what happened in London today.
Somebody set off some bombs. And killed some folks. By the time you read this, perhaps the culprits will be known. Perhaps not. But you know what? It doesn't matter much. Because bombing London isn't an effective way of waging a war.
Hitler tried it. And failed. Oh, he bombed the hell out of London. Killed lots of folks. Destroyed lots of property. Affected lots of lives. And the British survived it.
The British are survivors. And fighters. Oh, now they'd rather not fight a war. No one in their right mind would want to fight a war. But, when they have to fight, they kick ass. Nearly kicked ours twice.
Speaking of which, aren't they the only nation we ever beat that didn't need us to go in and rebuild? You know why that is? They are survivors. And they'll survive this.
Like I said earlier, no list of links today. Actually, I have a few. Lots of bloggers are following this. You can always find good roundups of major events at InstaPundit, Michelle Malkin, La Shawn Barber, and others.
If you're a blogger, consider Feisty Republican Whore's suggestion to fly the Union Jack. And if you're covering the attacks, you're welcome to leave a TrackBack here.
London Calling
ReplyDeleteLondon is under attack. Keep them in your thoughts. Makes me glad we have our fighting men and women on the first line of defense against terrorism everywhere.

ReplyDeleteLondon - Fly the Union Jack today.
ReplyDeleteApologies for the lack of Demystifying Divas topical posting on jealousy, for I am not finished writing it. Very early this morning (Yank time), I learned of the terrorist attack on the London tube, which also involved bomb-induced bus...
London Under Attack
ReplyDeletePerhaps the most awful thing about terrorism is that you can spend your morning joking around with your friends and when you turn on the radio, you discover that all hell has broken loose in a new and unexpected location....
Done. Of course, if I had any sense, I'd also remove the request, wouldn't I? :)
ReplyDeleteTerrorist Attacks in London
ReplyDeleteFour explosions in London today are being ruled terrorist attacks. It amazes me how these groups brag about their exploits. They scramble to take responsibility for horrific acts, like their worth is measured in the number of civilians killed throug...

ReplyDeleteHey, it was a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLoved that post, you have a way with words. The Brits are special,& they'll make it through.
ReplyDeleteI tried to post a Union Jack, but I can't figuar out how to get pictures into my post. It keeps throwing the whole thing off. Any tips from you or "fiesty"?
Thanks for the kind words.
ReplyDeleteWell, Blogger doesn't have image hosting, but Harvey from Bad Example offers tips on how to get free image hosting. Perhaps you might want to check it out here.
Feisty:
ReplyDeleteThanks for the input. I haven't use the service about which Harvey writes, so I really appreciate hearing from someone who has.
I have a lot of respect for the Brits
ReplyDeleteThe Brits are strong people.
I stand with them, just as they have stood with us.
Does anyone know of any forums where people involved in the blasts can chat to one another? Seems like lots of blogs, but it would be great to share some experiences with others that will be going through the same. Thanks
ReplyDeleteIf I knew, I would gladly pass the information along.
ReplyDeleteBy "forum" are you excluding blogs? They mean different things to me.
