Rumor has it tOSU will be wearing camo helmets this season.  "Tressel so respects the military that the Buckeyes will wear camouflaged football helmets during spring practice."

and those evil bastards from the school up north are getting into the act as well

on Lybia from the usually accurate Victor Davis Hanson:

We should watch for some very strange things in Libya in the days ahead: (a) Euros bet on the wrong rebel horse, and if Qaddafi survives, he will surely "renegotiate" his massive oil exports to Europe, or perhaps prefer to deal with the Chinese. So Britain, Italy, and France will become increasing panicky and want us to ratchet things up. (b) Expect to hear less and less about the UN and the Arab League as Obama, to win, needs more and more to ignore their restrictions on using American ground troops and direct bombing of Libya's assets. (c) Expect the Left to get increasingly antsy as it weighs the viability of Obama's progressive domestic agenda versus their own humiliation at having to keep still and support a preemptive bombing campaign against a Muslim, Arab, oil-exporting nation, without congressional approval, that was not a national-security threat to the U.S. The Left is going to have to accept Obama's rendering inoperative the UN and Arab League restrictions when he inserts some ground troops or orders some Milosevic-like bombing. His supporters also will have to endure the fact that Obama's prior pledges of "turning over" and "toning down" a war that we would supposedly fight neither on the ground nor by sustained aerial bombardment are simply untrue — and this on top of everything from the now jim-dandy Guantanamo and A-OK renditions. (d) We are quickly evolving beyond the choices of both a Mogadishu- or Beirut-like clean skedaddle and a 12-year-Iraq-like-no-fly-zone humanitarian mission, and most likely are considering either bombing Qaddafi like crazy or sending in some troops or both.

Bottom line: It is always a dangerous thing for a president to start a war without Congress, without a consistent mission, without a coherent methodology, without a plausible end game, and without a clue who our rebel allies are or just how strong their opponent actually might be — contingent on a fickle UN, impotent but oil-enthused allies, and a passive-aggressive Arab world, all to prove a point that we could reinvent our military into a humanitarian rescue force, subordinate to international unelected bodies — and all the more dangerous during the golfing, basketball-playoffs, and resort seasons.

... from my left leaning friends?

I want Obama's action (inactions?) on the last three weeks as theypertain to Lybia defended within these guidelines:

1.  Defense cannot also be used to justify action in Zimbabwe, N Korea, Iran, Syria, Darfur, etc (otherwise it raises the question" why aren't we there too?")

2.  The defense cannot already have been used by the Bush Administration to defend actions in Iraq and Afghanistan since the Donks opposed both of those.

We bombed Qaddafi's forces because they were killing civilians. So Qaddafi's forces began dressing like civilians. So the rebels began killing civilians. So NATO is warning the rebels not to kill civilians, otherwise NATO will bomb the rebels. But the rebels are dressed like civilians.So NATO may end up killing civilians.

In other news, the administration  continues to debate arming the rebels who are dressed like civilians. But Qaddafi's forces are also dressed like civilians. So we may be arming Qaddafi's forces who are killing civilians while we also bomb the rebels who are killing civilians and bombing civilians who really are civilians but look like Qaddafi's forces who are killing civilians.

I've just finished Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992) ... I'm on a quest to watch them all.  NOT going to be a fun weekend.  How bad was it? 

Not even Terry Farrell could save it.  Now THAT'S bad.
