Just to let everyone know, his hotmail account is no longer active. Wonder why?

...and I believe it's going to be downright entertaining to see just what this little lady's going to reap from opening her big mouth...

Gentlemen,

I believe our beloved "Rene" is a male. Take that for whatever it is worth.

Genetically, perhaps. But I stand by my first statement...

Any bets as to how long it will be he'll be working for the New York Times or the Washington Post?

According to an ESPN article, Pat Tillman turned down book deals before he left for Iraq. This, on top of walking away from the NFL contract. What made him feel really bad about it, though, was that his agent was going to lose out on potential income.

The more I hear about this guy, the more respect I have for him.

Pat Tillman was awarded the Silver Star today. He was posthumously advanced in rank yesterday. It seems that he was trying to save some of his fellow soldiers who were engaged in a firefight and was killed while advancing to help them.

I have long chided people on the use of the word "hero". They use it for almost everything.

The true measure of a hero is someone who, at the risk of their own life, seeks the preservation of the life of another.

Tillman fits that description perfectly and is truly deserving of the title of Hero.
