WMD's in Iraq?

Maybe this is the real reason so many want us to cut and run.  They are afraid we will find more of this.  So much for there not being any Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq.  I am sure this won't change anyone's mind though.  It is hard to see the truth with blinders on (or at least with a heart filled with hate for President Bush).

BREITBART.COM - Hundreds of chemical weapons found in Iraq: US intelligence

"Since 2003, Coalition forces have recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain degraded mustard or sarin nerve agent," said an overview of the report unveiled by Senator Rick Santorum and Peter Hoekstra, head of the intelligence committee of the House of Representatives.

"Despite many efforts to locate and destroy Iraq's
pre-Gulf war chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf war
chemical munitions are assessed to still exist," it says.

The "Yuck" factor

Is it just me or does this sound really gross? " Test Tube Meat Nears Dinner Table

"To produce the meat we eat now, 75 (percent) to 95 percent of what we feed an animal is lost because of metabolism and inedible structures like skeleton or neurological tissue," says Matheny. "With cultured meat, there's no body to support; you're only building the meat that eventually gets eaten."

I think it would be hard to get past the "Yuck" factor.  Sheets of cultured meat doesn't sound very appetising

Who is losing the war?

Democrats talk about how we are losing the war in Iraq therefore we should cut and run (my paraphrase), disregarding the faulty logic it seems as though one person would disagree... al-Zarqawi!!

"As an overall picture, time has been an element in affecting negatively the forces of the occupying countries, due to the losses they sustain economically in human lives, which are increasing with time. However, here in Iraq, time is now beginning to be of service to the American forces and harmful to the resistance..."

He also talks about using the media to spread disinformation, but who would ever believe something like that could be done.

Here is the whole document. Very damning to the "cut and run we are losing in Iraq" crowd.

"Scientists respond to Gore's warnings of climate catastrophe"

I haven't had time to read this whole article yet, but it looks like a must read on Global Warming!

"when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy"

I am reminded of this verse.

Proverbs 11:10  "When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy."

Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi Killed in Air Raid

Pictures at Exploration Place

This one in the dark is in the CyberDome where we watched a film on constellations. The rest of the pictures are from the playground.

 

Got a new car today.

Well it is a new car to me.  A 2000 Ford Focus SE, red 4 door.  It has hail damage and I have to bring it back on Tuesday for a few repairs but the price was right and any car that gets 35 MPG on the highway and 25-30 MPG in town is worth its weight in gold.  That is 2x's the mileage that our Explorer gets.  Anyway it will just be used as a back up and to get me to work and back so Jenny can still have a car. No picitures of it yet b/c we just got it over lunch and b/c it still needs to be cleaned up.

A Fascinatingly Sad Story

A story about a 210-pound 6-year old - Includes a picture
Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | 'I like to be big'

"We should mention at this point that Dzhambik, who most of the time
looks at the floor, is really very fat indeed. His eyelashes are forced
upwards by the rolls of fat that are his eyelids. His thigh fat hangs
over his knees. His wrists look as if they have been swollen by bee
stings. When he walks down the stone staircase inside the school, it
thuds."

Moved Out But Not In.

Well it is 3:30 in the morning and I am laying in bed typeing this in our new house.  This has been the longest weekend of my life and it is only half way over.  We have moved out of the apartment but not exactly moved into the house.  Lots of stuff still packed into the Explorer and stuff sitting in the Garage.  In the morning we drive to GC to get the rest of our things from our old house so the renters can move in on Sunday and of course pick up the boys from Grandma's house.  I don't know if I have ever been this tired before in my life.  I don't know why I am typing this and not going to sleep.  I have a lot of funny stories about this whole adventure but I am too tired to tell any of them so maybe on Sunday night.  Goodnight...

BTW: I blew out my knee with all of this moving and so anyone that wants to help move some boxes out of our basement is welcome :-)

Conversation with a Spammer and other Ramblings

Conversation with a Spammer- A Securtiy company calls it quits basically b/c the Russian Mob threatens to spam them into oblivian.

It is interesting that people are still having this much of a problem with spam.  I have been using Gmail for about the last 8 months and it ROCKS.  It filters out 99% of my spam, so it goes straight to my spam folder and I never see it.  Even before that I was using SpamAssassin on my server and it did a pretty good job.  All of the spam that comes to my Gmail is from other accounts that I filter through it so I have one centralized place for my email. 

If you don't want spam DON'T PUT YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS ON THE INTERNET!!  And of course don't hand it out to people either, only give it to companies that you trust.  I don't get any email to my actual Gmail account.

Anyway i am just rambling about stuff.  Really I am too distracted to focus waiting for Jenny to pick me up so we can go work on the new house... She is taking forever!

We got it!

Signed on the house this afternoon.  Tonight we paint.  :-D
