OK, but I will take a second to note that my respect for Pat Tillman grows more and more the more I learn about him. Sounds like he thought a lot. Sounds like he didn’t care much about convention. I already knew that he turned down big money to go fight for his country, and I already knew that he turned down a large contract earlier in his career so he could stay in Arizona with his team. I didn’t know he attended a christening in drag, or that he read as much as he seems to have.

Also, as noted progressive economist Max Sawicky notes, Ted Rall sucks.

Wow, that Rall strip is unnecessarily harsh. Not as harsh as the editorial from my fine alma mater's newsrag last week.

(hmm. Lead story today in the Collegian today says the student govt is trying to de-fund the newspaper. Whatever kind of free speech issues that little knot brings up, you gotta wonder about a paper that uses the word "independency" in a headline.)

I don't necessarily think Tillman was more of a hero than any of the other soldiers who died (although giving up that kind of money for something, anything, that you believe in has got to count big time) but I certainly don't see any need to villify him.

Student government doesn't pay for the newspaper. Which officially makes this hilarious.
