Local Ellsworth ReactionThe American News has a story on local reaction to the resurrection of Ellsworth. Yours truly, wearing my political science hat, is quoted saying much the same thing as I have said here. Thune received more grief than he deserved...Let's Give
Time for a Katrina blogburst. Instapundit wants a post recommending relief efforts to donate to, and here are the two I like: The American Red Cross. Soldiers' Angels, which has set up a special fund for servicepeople in the disaster...Stop Judicial Tyranny: Jail for Judges!?
Can You Believe...Don't like how the court ruled? Sue the judge, group says
The Argus's inimitable Dave Kranz notes an effort to impose some real limitation to what is arguably the unchecked power of the judiciary to do any darned thing that a judge decides to, regardless of plain constitutional and legal language to the contrary.
Calling this effort J.A.I.L. (Judicial Accountability Initiative Law), if one is absolutely convinced that they were the victim of arbitrary judicial abuse by a judge, the law would grant the right to appeal to a special grand jury. If the grand jury agreed, then the judge would be liable for lawsuit. The judge could also be found to be guilty of criminal behavior for failing to uphold the law.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS SITE as well as THIS ONE TOO! The Chief has been reading "Men in Black" by Mark R. Levin lately, and this may not be a bad idea. Check it out for yourself.

Here is another article from the Washington Times entitled Thune wins big in base's survival....Conservative Reform in Germany
German elections are approaching. The question facing the electorate is not whether to reform Germany's welfare state, but how and how fast. Whatever happens, Germany will remain far to the left of the U.S. in its institutions; but it will...ZAP! You're Dead!
DARPA's 'Star Wars'-style Laser Cannon
Laser cannon. The words evoke immediate visions of the space war scenes in Star Wars. As it turns out the US is starting to build this new way to do it to them before they get a chance to do it to us. The Darpa program is called the High Energy Liquid Laser Area Defense System (HELLADS).
No muss, no fuss. Direct application of lethal energy to the target with no need for ammunition. Nice.
If you have an interest in other sorts of advanced projects, the DARPA TTO site (use the PROGRAMS link) describes some of the sorts of things that are coming down the chute. SciFi comes to life - our tax dollars at work, and worth every cent!
