I've got the laptop right here with me on the couch, but I seem much more satisfied just sitting on my ass and watching the Braves (gag me) spank the Astros tonight. It's cool outside. It's October. There's baseball on...

It's been a crazy week if you've devoted any time to trying to monitor the moonbats. I myself have had to bite my tongue more than once when posting on some of the "anti-war" demonstrations over the weekend. But it...

Name Of Chemical Released In Salem Investigation

At least the chemical poisoning incident was not caused by Phosgene, a military toxic gas. This was reported in the Argus as being the probable agent, but a different, but superficially related material was finally positively identified:

McCook County Emergency Management thinks it has identified the mysterious substance found in the four-plex last Friday. Test results from the South Dakota and Minnesota State Labs point to aluminum phosphide, a toxic chemical often used by farmers. The report also lists traces of the gas version of the chemical, called phosphine, which can be used as a fumigant.

This still leaves question as to the origin of the chemicals in an apartment building:

Authorities say aluminum phosphide is not a chemical that would normally be found inside of a home. But they also won't comment on if the chemical was put in the building to hurt those inside. "We're attempting to get results back on many many things until we get all that back we can't really say one way or the other," Gerlach said.

Rocket Racing League Organized!

How cool is THIS! The Chief likes it! In the first iteration this of course seems to be atmospheric rocket planes, but inevitably it'll go beyond. Just like aircraft racing in the 20's and 30's spurred aviation development and design, there's no reason why rocket racing can't do the same thing today.

The whole concept and underlying philosophy is positive. Folks, get ready - it's coming! This is from the same guys that posted the Ansari X-prize, that led to the Rutan Scaled Composite's suborbital space flyer, so they know how to make things happen!

How's that for an interesting blog heading. For those who can't get enough of Harriet Miers (and who can't) here is a piece by RJ Pestrito that is tough on Miers and Bush, and here is Michael Ledeen telling us...

Mike Rosen of the Rocky Mountain News has a great article on the anti-Columbus crowd in Colorado. The group has attempted to block an Italian-American parade celebrating Christopher Columbus and their heritage. However, this year Denver has a new law...

Why no looters in Mississippi

Iowahawk is in receipt of a photographic explanation of why Mississippi was able to avoid the looting problem that was noted (albeit with exageration)in New Orleans. It's worth a look, and like they say, worth 1000 words.
