And this guy needs to be staked out in the desert and left there.
Anyone who would do this kind of thing to a little girl doesn’t deserve the compassion of society or the benefits of civilization. Make him bleed and suffer.

DEA: Saudi Prince Smuggled Drugs Under Diplomatic Immunity
Disgusting ragheads. Diplomatic immunity? Send the CIA after him. Or Special Forces. Just make sure there isn’t much left of him but a blot on the pavement.

The jerkoff who tried to get “under God” removed from the Pledge of Allegiance is now trying to get prayer banned at Presidential inaugurations. He’s filed an appeal with the 9th Circuit of the dismissal in May of his suit in that matter.

What makes you think it will be different this time?
Saddam is mouthing off again.

And what the fuck is this about?
Everybody involved here needs to step back and take a big breath. One square mile of rocky island is not worth a war.

It is thought to be one of the mythological “Pillars of Hercules,” along with the Rock of Gibraltar across the strait, and historians have connected the island with Ogigia, mentioned in Homer’s “The Odyssey.”

That and a buck will get you a cup of coffee. Sheesh.

Hmm, funny, I started to write that title and indeed, I am listening to Rush 🙂
Anyway, how interesting that he led off with this article, because that was what I was going to bring to the attention of my readers…(what readers?:)
I’ve figured John Corzine was a crook since the day I heard about him running for his Senate seat. Too much money. Way too much money.

Maybe you should think again, and read this article.
I’ll turn 65 in 2024. I don’t expect to collect a dime. The only reason I pay FICA without complaint is that it helps keeps my mother and my in-laws afloat. The system will be bankrupt (and/or hopefully changed over to a free-market alternative) before I get old enough to benefit.
I do not believe that it is the government’s business to ensure my retirement. Aesop had it correct in “The Ant and the Grasshopper”. Those who make provisions for lean times survive. Those who do not, end up on the streets or mooching off of their grown children. I have little patience for people who whine about being on fixed incomes when they had the ability to store a little up for years before they retired.
My father never got to retire. He died 15 days after he let his contractor licenses lapse (and lost a lot of SS income over the years between 65 and 77 because he chose to continue working). Someone out there is living on his dime for all the years he worked between 1941 and 2002. Thank God he and Mom had the forethought to put money away (and that Mom had a teacher’s pension from the state).

Meant to apologize for all of the Washington Times links today. Fox didn’t have a lot that rang my bell, and I spent a lot of time reading the Times instead 🙂

In this article, a commercial forester explains why Forest service policies need urgent reform, to avoid a repetition of the 2000 and 2002 Western wildfires.

Environmental activists have worked long and hard (and successfully) to marginalize industry in this debate. They don’t want us involved in finding a solution to the forest-health crisis because, let’s face it, they just don’t like us. But like us or not, our forests don’t burn. Not like public forests do. Is it because we are better at fighting fires? Is it because our trees are inflammable? Is it that lightning never strikes our land? Are we just really, really lucky? It is, of course, none of those.
The real reason our land doesn’t burn like public land is we actively manage our forests. We manage them like they are an investment because they are. Not just an investment of dollars, but of blood, sweat and tears — and not just for us, but for the countless species who depend on the forest for their homes, and for the communities who depend on forests for clean drinking water, clean air and recreational opportunities. These are the very values I now see going up in smoke.

He makes a lot of sense to me.

Maybe Maryland is going to straighten up and fly right. I moved to Silver Spring right after Glendening stole the election in ’94.
