Katrina and incompetence

Chad Schult, the Clear Cut Kidder, is having trouble defining incompetence in regard to Katrina. So this photo should be worth a thousand words: This is what happened to the people of New Orleans who elected an incompetent Democrat as...
Flight 93 Memorial to Honor Islam?!

"Crescent of Embrace" Selected Design

Few would protest the appropriateness of a memorial at the site of the crash of United Flight 93 near Shanksville, PA on 9-11. More than a few are apparently appalled, as is the Chief, by the design that was selected:

What in the world possesses some of these people when they do something like this. Here's the group of people featured on this evening's TV special (Discovery ch.) THE FLIGHT THAT FOUGHT BACK, being supposedly honored by a design that effectively creates a large Islamic crescent on the landscape using red-leaved trees.

Are they REALLY so dense as to be oblivious to the reactions to this, or is there some other agenda of uber-political correctness? One has to wonder.

has about as complete a presentation on this as anywhere, with links to other explanatory sites.

Jumpers vs. Drowners

Methinks that Instapundit is right on the money: THE PRESS WANTS TO SHOW BODIES from Katrina. It didn't want to show bodies, or jumpers, on 9/11, for fear that doing so would inflame the public. I can only conclude that...
Questioning Mr. Roberts

Chad at CCK has a post on the Roberts nomination to be Chief Justice (I checked, Professor Schaff and it really was Chad). The CCK position is perfectly reasonable.I don?t claim to be any expert on the nomination process. But...
The lying left and the MSM

Doug Wiken has a comment on Mount Blogmore where he downplays lying under oath when the issue of Bill Clinton?s impeachment was brought up. Then he dismisses immoral behavior:We can be appalled by Clinton?s lack of sexual discretion and can...
Fourth Sister on the Way in Oregon?

Mystery Bulge in Oregon Still Growing

This type of bulging is one of the key indicators of some form of volcanic activity. Most of the Cascades volcanic mountains are candidates for eruption. St. Helens continues to percolate, and this recent finding indicates activity in the vicinity of the Three Sisters volcanic formation(s).

A recent survey of a bulge that covers about 100 square miles near the South Sister indicates the area is still growing, suggesting it could be another volcano in the making or a major shift of molten rock under the center of the Cascade Range.

This site is remote enough to probably not be a disaster, even if it erupts, but it's still something neat enough to keep some track of.

BRAC Report Goes to President

Base-closure panel finds overestimation of savings

The final Base Re-alignment and Closing Commission report has been sent to the President. The final version notably maintains Ellsworth AFB of South Dakota as a going concern. Hopefully, the report is accepted.

The Pentagon overestimated savings from base closings by $30 billion and some of its plans for streamlining the Army, Navy and Air Force might have made the services less efficient, a federal commission that reviewed the process said yesterday.
With its five months of work complete, the Base Realignment and Closure Commission voiced its concerns even as it approved roughly 86 percent of what Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld recommended as he sought to save money by getting rid of extra space in the domestic military network. That's on par with previous years, when commissions changed only about 15 percent of what the Pentagon proposed.

Time for a Sheriff's Relief Fund update. Today I wrote a check and took it to the bank for deposit. Y'all donated $55 so far. The deposit slip is available for the donors to look at. If you wish to...
