Bali bombings kill at least 25

The same old same old from the religion of peace, with homicide bombers attacking highly strategic tourist restaurants:

Suicide bombers targeted the Indonesian tropical resort of Bali with coordinated attacks yesterday that devastated seafood and noodle restaurants packed with foreigners, killing at least 25 persons.

Dealing with the Islamofascists reminds the Chief of an admonition on the cover of a SD noxious weed handbook: "Better to kill them than to put up with them." Appropriate turn of phrase.

I caught just a bit of former FEMA head Mike Brown in front of a House committee that is investigating what went wrong with Katrina relief. I must say watching Brownie in front of these jerks is like watching Florida...

Gain SERENITY with new film.

This is one that the Chief has a BAD hankering to go see soonest. Although I have been a long-time Sci-fi afficianado, a lot of the stuff coming out seems to be long on effects, and somewhat short on substance.

Serenity, is a movie sequel to the 11-episode TV series Firefly, which has become an instant cult classic of libertarian science fiction.

Take my love. Take my land.
Take me where I cannot stand.
I don?t care, I?m still free.
You can?t take the sky from me.

Burn the land and boil the sea.
You can?t take the sky from me.

Have no place I can be
Since I found Serenity.

~ Theme Ballad of Firefly

GO SEE SERENITY!
