| Great Collection of WW-II Posters |
| 2004-06-06 |
| Dr Rusty Shackelford at mypetjawa has a fine collection of scans of WW-II posters - with some interesting comments which update them to our current WoT. And, BTW, if you haven’t read Shackelford before, you’ll find this a great blog. Unfortunately, since he teaches at an unnamed University and the rule is "publish or perish" he’s taking the summer to generate the requisite survival material with only light blogging. In a fine parody which showcases his usual product, scroll to the top and check out his bit on John McLaughlin - so what’s in a name? Well, if you recall the McLaughlin Group, there are some good laughs... |

| #9 Dr S - That's a disturbingly large collection if dogmatic idiocy! Jealousy is the common thread, heh. |

| #8 I'll be blogging now and again. I just did a "Leftist Tribute to Reagan" photos essay. I'm just on light blogging mode. My site rocks? Thanks! But don't you mean "sucks"? This site...now this site rocks! |

| #3 Yes, it is frightening to see how all the WWII posters so easily apply to today's situation. And speaking of the enemy, anyone heard today how things came out at Normandy with Presidents Bush and Chiraq? Was it the usual speeches or was Chiraq doing the Mike Wallace Dig Thing™? Inquiring minds want to know.... |

| #1 My Grandfather managed war bond drives during WWII in a small town in SE Pennsylvania and saved all of the war era posters which were passed on to his children and grandchildren after his passing. I've often looked at "Deliver us from evil" with the little blond girl crying with the swastika in the background and thought I should cover the swastika with the Red thingy instead , print them up and reissue. Could we please change our terminology and refer to today's war by it's proper name - World War III? It has all the qualifications. . . |
