Is Lack Of Big Media Coverage Of Oklahoma Explosion OK?
CBS News blogsite notes lack of MSM coverage of Oklahoma "suicide" bomber. They're a bit behind a lot of the non-MSM bloggers, but bette late than never. Will they EVER cover the story itself? Stay tuned, but don't hold your breath waiting. (Anoxia is an unpleasant way to go!)

meanwhile, at Georgia Tech:
Explosives Found Near Tech Dorms

Three explosive devices found in a courtyard between two Georgia Tech dormitories on the East Campus Monday morning were part of a "terrorist act," an Atlanta police official said. One of the devices exploded, injuring the custodian who found them inside a plastic bag. Two others were detonated by a bomb squad.

and at UCLA:
Explosive found at Midvale

F.Y.I. - Reported by the UCLA campus paper:

A calm and quiet Westwood was briefly disrupted Friday afternoon when the Los Angeles Police Department bomb squad inspected and detonated an explosive device found within the Midvale Plaza apartment complex on the 500 block of Midvale Avenue.

Very curious, if not alarming.

Desperate Pakistanis Await Earthquake Aid

The death toll of this earthquake is still rising as officials keep digging out collapsed buildings, and still haven't surveyed countryside areas that were also hit hard.

Desperate Pakistanis huddled against the cold and some looted food stores Monday because aid still had not reached remote areas of Kashmir, where a devastating earthquake flattened villages, cut off power and water, and killed tens of thousands. Officials predict the death toll, now estimated at between 20,000 and 30,000, will climb because of exposure and disease. With winter just six weeks away, the United Nations has said 2.5 million people near the Pakistan-India border need shelter.

Anyone notice how the Islamofascists that were quick to label the gulf coast hurricanes as a sign of Allah's negative judgement are now in a state of deafening silence? (One can only hope that Pat Robertson doesn't embarrass himelf again.)

Another reminder that the world is NOT a place where one's security can be assumed. Anyplace, anytime, the whole show can come crashing down - the only question is how prepared (materially, physically, and spiritually) you are when TSHTF.

Remember in ancient days pre-Katrina when Homeland Security had the temerity to suggest that a 72-hour emergency kit was a great idea? And the H.S. Secretary was ridiculed by much of the MSM for saying so? EVERYWHERE has some form of potential disaster: earthquakes, hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes, tsunamis, whatever....To prepare, or not to prepare...your call, you bet your life.

See you not the rush of wind and rain?
See you not the oaks lash each other?
See you not the ocean scourging the shore?
See you not the truth portending?
See you not the sun hurtling the sky?
See you not that the stars have fallen?
Have you no belief in God, foolish man?
See you not your world is ending?

Happy Columbus Day. Here's an Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. piece on Columbus that was published in 1992, the 500th anniversary of Columbus's arrival in the new world. As I recall, a longer version of this appeared in the Atlantic Monthly in...

Conservatives Confront Bush Aides

Sort of looks like the FDR Republican President and his Kool-aid vendors still have a lot of work to do to get the GOP base on board - assuming that they have any concern about even bothering to do so at this point.

The conservative uprising against President Bush escalated yesterday as Republican activists angry over his nomination of White House counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court confronted the president's envoys during a pair of tense closed-door meetings. A day after Bush publicly beseeched skeptical supporters to trust his judgment on Miers, a succession of prominent conservative leaders told his representatives that they did not. Over the course of several hours of sometimes testy exchanges, the dissenters complained that Miers was an unknown quantity with a thin résumé and that her selection -- Bush called her "the best person I could find" -- was a betrayal of years of struggle to move the court to the right.

Although the Chief is still trying to be optimistic about the appointment, none of this exactly gives a warm glow. All there is is a (hopefully not forlorn) hope that Ms. Miers ultimately proves to be a sound constitutional originalist. Unfortunately, all there is is that hope...but not much substance at this point.

Gator-guzzling python comes to messy end

The alligator has some foreign competition at the top of the Everglades food chain, and the results of the struggle are horror-movie messy. A 13-foot Burmese python recently burst after it apparently tried to swallow a live, six-foot alligator whole, authorities said.

This raises indigestion to a whole new level.

That is if they are Republicans. Unlike their position on Bill Clinotn?s allege perjury charges, the Democrats are convinced Tom Delay is guilty simply based on indictments?not convictions. The South Dakota Democrat exemplifies this as they go after John Thune...
