New Orleans & BiloxiI haven't been anywhere near a television set today, and I've only just begun trying to catch up on what's happening in Louisiana and Mississippi via the Internet, but Instapundit's been covering it all day....The Fake and the Dead
Greyhawk's must-read post on the "Kodee Kennings" fake-o-rama that plagued the SIU-Carbondale school newspaper: There are two types of Iraq war veterans that have a tremendous appeal to the anti-war crowd - the fictional and the dead. Both types have...ZAP! You're Dead!
A piece of what for McGovern?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!
Baby BornEducator working on Nobel Peace Prize nomination for McGovern+
Of note in this morning's Argus
LeaderLoser:A Florida professor is trying to get politicians, scholars and others to write letters that will help him with the paperwork to nominate former Sen. George McGovern for the Nobel Peace Prize. "He had always been one of my heroes," Robert Watson, a political science professor at Florida Atlantic University, said of McGovern, a three-term senator from South Dakota who was the Democratic Party's 1972 presidential nominee. "I can't think of a more compelling or deserving public figure for the causes of peace and alleviating world hunger than George McGovern."The article continues with the expression of more such sentiments. The only question that occurs to the Chief is WHAT DID HE ACCOMPLISH? Anything specific at all? Anything except opposing Nixon and the Viet-nam war?
As far as that is concerned, even if the anti-war activism of the day was influential in causing the US to abandon aid to South Viet-nam, thereby enabling the Commie victory (thus ending the war), the "peace" that resulted in South Viet-nam, and even more so, Cambodia, had a greater resemblence to Auschwitz in terms of death than it did to anything most rational people would consider to be true peace....unless...it's just OK for Communists to do this sort of thing, since they're on the political left.
Nobel Peace Prize? The Chief would hope not...but given the state of Euro moonbats these days, it just might fly, especially if they use it as a means of jabbing the current GOP administration as resembling (in their minds) the dreaded Nixon.
The baby in the Koso case has been born: A 14-year-old girl whose 22-year-old husband is charged with sexually assaulting a minor has given birth to their daughter, and the man said he plans to plead not guilty in the...Administrator's Note
Having open comments on a blog is a lot like sitting out on your porch. Sometimes a friendly neighbor stops by for a chat, and sometimes the moonbats are drawn to the light. I enjoy the moonbats. In fact, without...God, the left and Katrina
Kevin McCullough has an interesting column about God and the so-called liberals. Here is the introduction:Liberals hate God. They don't want to believe in Him. And they are at a complete loss when events unfold like that of Hurricane Katrina....The Left-Wing Noise Machine
I mean, like, yeah. Who among us would have doubted the notion that organized moonbats were carrying all the water in Crawford? The camp at Crawford is full of Cindy Sheehan supporters, people from all walks of life. But off...
