OpinionJournal.com has picked up the Chief Wiggles Toy Drive:
HAIL TO THE CHIEF: Chief Wiggles is the nom de plume of a deployed Utah National Guardsman blogging from Iraq (http://chiefwiggles.blog-city.com/). In one of his recent dispatches, the chief described the joy of a seven-year-old Iraqi girl to whom he'd given a stuffed animal. Now he's asking for more toys for our troops to deploy to these Iraqi tots (send them to Chief Wiggles, c/o CPA Chaplain, CPA-C2, Debriefer, APO AE 09335). The only guidelines have to do with common sense ("no guns" or "violent toys") and a nod to religious sensitivities ("no Barbie dolls or dolls scantily dressed"). Iraqi children, says the chief, have nothing and are delighted with even the simplest gifts of stuffed animals and paper to color on.
For victory and peace... one heart at a time!
Oh, and Chief? Better clear the decks...
