Truly, I really don't ask for much.
It's my one-and-only must have! All of Bill Whittle's essays in one bound source! What could be better?
Gleefully rubs hands together.
I'll put it on the bookshelf next to Twain.

I'm sorry that's all I have time for today.

Chalabi: He was a very bad boy. So, this is the thanks we get for helping him?
Methought he did protest too much....
For those still bleaching their mind's eye over yesterday's pictorial offering, here's a new one. Aye, lads. Yours will look like that someday, too. ;)
It seems that Courtney's mom has stepped forward. This little one was abducted two years ago, by her father, who was picked up on drug charges right after dropping her off. The family and CPS are holding a hearing to determine the veracity of the mom's claims.
To CPS: If this really is her mom, and it's clear that she loves her daughter, just wants her back, and wants to provide for her, get out of the way, OK? This is a chance for you to prove that you aren't all about splitting families up.
Give some support to Operation Smile. You'll be glad you did.

Unless anything else happens that inspires me to post again today, have the weekend of your choice.

In addition to the usual reports overplaying this, and marginalizing that, here are a few links that might be of interest:
The sarin may be old, and it is possible that the person improvising the IED did not know what they had their hands on, but as one official pointed out, the real question is: "Where did it come from?"
Also, there's more here than meets the eye, but my take on the implications is that Chalabi has been a very bad boy.
It seems to me that people would be screaming, "Jackbooted thugs!" if the Republicans were to do this. I just wanted to note that for when they follow suit in the interest of security, and the media spins it to make people froth at the mouth.
You want "America to be America Again", Senator Kerry? Fine. Just shut up and get the hell out of the way.
Not only is he brave, but strong, and lucky too. He's hurt, but from his reported comments, he's plucky and he's going to be fine. Good on ya, Malcolm.
For a moment of sheer , "Ewww!", take a peek here. Dear lord. His...pectoral region...is more generous than mine!
Ewww.
For God's sake, what kind of parent can just go off and leave their little one? She's three. THREE. I can't begin to convey how this hits me. I'm a mother. You don't let yourself get separated from your babies. Period. Tell me someone is holding this little girl and telling her that it's going to be all right? She's so scared. If you're someone she loves and trusts, please come forward.

My opinion on the matter is that sensationalism has become the new religion, and its fiercest petitioners are typically bereft of both logic and reason. I urged my representation to oppose the Kyoto Treaty due to its irresponsibility.
I urge my readers to gather all facts on all issues in order to decide for themselves.
It's really the civilized thing to do, no?
