— Gabriel Malor

Year after year, science finds explanations, scientific reasons behind all the legends. They think this proves history was not as myth has shown it, but in fact it proves that all the myths were true.

2 Here come our Canadian friends:
 
Canadian fighter jets have bombed an ammunition depot in northern Libya in the first attacks by Canadian aircraft in the campaign to enforce a no-fly zone.
 
Thanks, guys.
 
Now, if we could just figure out which rock our Arab League friends are hiding under, we could maybe get them to help too. They could fly overhead shouting Allahu Ackbar to give the whole thing that special local flavor.

4 Might as well import this one too from earlier ONT posting.
 
More CA bonedness in the news:
 
The public appetite for a special election also seems to be on the wane. Fifty-one percent of respondents said they wanted one; in January, two-thirds said they welcomed an opportunity to vote on Brown's proposal. The governor promised voters during his campaign last year that they could sign off on any tax hikes.

The survey suggests that even if Brown manages to hold a special election, selling the taxes to the public will not be easy. Ballot measures with less than 50% support before a campaign begins typically fail.
 
This is an attempt to extend tax hikes. Sounds like it is about time for unions to call out the goon squads and get cracking.

7 Iran, Syria Benefit From U.N. Nuclear Assistance Program, Which the State DepÂ’t Insists on Funding in Full

The United States is the biggest funder of a U.N. program that helps countries to develop civilian nuclear technologies. Despite “dual-use” proliferation concerns, the program’s beneficiaries include Iran and Syria.

The Government Accountability Office has for years recommended that the U.S. government, as a result of those proliferation concerns, withhold a proportion of its funding to the program, but the State Department strongly opposes the move, arguing among other things that the U.S. must set a good example to other countries “by paying its contribution in full and on time.”

She's just a prominent "devil we know", but I guarantee you that the government is infested with her equal (or worse), and that's the main reason that the noxious beast has to be cut off and starved.

31 The uselessness of the Repuke party was illustrated when Whorelick was seated on the 9/11 Commission.  When I first heard the commiecrats had planned this I thought "Well, I'm sure the Repubs will raise the roof on this bullshit and it'll be deservedly shitcanned".  Fuck was I wrong.  Of course you couldn't count on the MFM cocksuckers to raise a fucking peep about her complicity in 9/11, not to mention Slick's role in it.  And the Repukes just rolled over like the fucking doormats they are when they had a chance to make an almost risk-free stand on something.  That's why Stumblebum Ojizzmop has shortlisted her; one more chance for the gelded pukes to bury their worthless fucking heads in the sand, with a "Kick Me" sign on their pansy asses.

I believe we need a new way forward, a new approach in North Africa, and Obama needs to suck it up and accept that his failure of leadership in the Libyan War begs for outside intervention and assistance.

Where's the The Iraq Libya Study Group Report

At this critical juncture, marred by confusion and stagnation, it behooves Congress to mandate an in depth bipartisan assessment of the Obama Administration's blundering foreign policy and misplaced military strategy as we struggle to hold together this faltering coalition and achieve our Nobel objectives.

The self proclaimed intellectual elitists at NPR hate sports. They will do the occasional character story on an athlete who has broken a world record or some other highly unusual event but conventional sports coverage is not what they do. When sports is the topic of discussion what you will most often hear is the bombastic refrain about how destructive and shallow American culture is to spend so much money on barbaric spectator sports while the fine arts are starving. Obama has again this year very publicly made his predictions for the NCAA playoffs. By doing so he has caused the people at NPR to cover the college basketball games instead of ignoring them and to do it earnestly instead of ironically.

That is the leadership of Barack Obama.

Mountains out of mole hills.

A mother's reason why "good citizenship" Girl Scouts sell cookies from home against city ordinance in Hazelwood, Mo:

"They’re getting to know the value of money, and how to keep people from ripping you off.”

Our local girl scouts get permission from WalMart or grocery stores to set up outside the doors for sales. Individually, they hit on their teachers and family friends, and parents do sales from the office for their girls. Hard nosed homeowners associations have a stickler reputation. Imagine living in a town that prohibits any business conducted from one's home office. You'd think there might be a way to approach this City Council in advance for a cookie waiver, or a lemonade stand, before the bitchy neighbor with the barking dog files an anonymous complaint. How many weeks are involved in the cookie sales campaign? Anyway, the cookie sales benefit the cookie manufacturer and the Girl Scouts national administration more than any local club or single scout with the highest sales. So the mom isn't actually correct about teaching her girl how to keep from being ripped off by others, encouraging gung-ho participation in a pyramid scheme designed "for the children".

A senior member of al Qaida urged Libyan rebels to continue their fight against Muammar Gaddafi and warned of the consequences of defeat, in a videotaped message posted on Jihadi websites, the Qatar-based Gulf News reported on Sunday.

The message from Libya native, Abu Yahya al-Libi, marked the first time a top ranked al Qaida commander had commented on the uprising in Libya. Gaddafi has repeatedly blamed al Qaida for inciting the unrest against him.

77 58 MWR,

the funny thing is it is an actual DoD term differentiating between physically violent and non-violent action conducted by the military.

ie "it's a war term"....

Cyber Command at barksdale fighting off a Chinese hacking attack on our mainframes is a "non-kinetic military action".....sending Team Yankee to deliver supplies is a kinetic military action....

ordering Team yankee to blow up a town?

"kinetic military action"....

I wouldn't be as worried if he wasn't "distracted" by his airhead girlfriend (actually, she's a sweet kid and we like her parents....but still).  Boating around here isn't like being on a lake.  People run into trouble all the time.  I won't go out when it's windy like today.

And yeah, I don't worry about him driving armored vehicles and practicing fast-roping out of helicopters.  (Afghanistan will be a whole different kettle of fish.)

89 LOL of the day, from Drudge:

WASHINGTON, D.C. - President Barack Obama had to try a couple of doors at the White House before finally gaining access to the Oval Office on Wednesday.

Returning from a five-day trip to Latin America, video shows the president strolling up to french doors at the White House and trying the handle on a locked door. He appeared to be whistling as he made his way down to another set of doors that were open.

White House staff was apparently not informed that the President was coming back to work before his arrival.

Me too.  I love the beach, and occasionally being on the boat (on a calm day), but I nearly drowned as a child, so yeah, I get nervous. 

And we appreciate the prayers more than you know.  In church Sunday, the pastor saw our son and announced it to the congregation.  The entire church gave our boy a standing ovation.  I had tears in my eyes.  He's grown up there (since age 11) and is the only member serving in the military.  We've got a lot of old vets (including one with a scar across his cheek from the Battle of Okinawa), and they really support our boy.

113 THE WOODLANDS, Texas — A paid obituary for a Houston-area man who died of cancer recently urged mourners to, in lieu of flowers, "please make a donation to ANYONE running against" President Barack Obama.

James Harrison of The Woodlands died Feb. 27 at the age of 68. The obituary approved by his family also suggested donations to the American Cancer Society as an alternative.

Harrison was a retired food-service worker. John Rundlof, his stepson, told KRIV-TV of Houston that Harrison "was an avid Republican and just took that to the grave with him." Rundlof said Harrison wrote the appeal for donations to Obama opponents himself before he died.

Openly gay Republican Fred Karger announces 2012 presidential run

Barely hours after filing his intent with the FEC to run for the 2012 Republican nomination for president, Fred Karger stopped by Washington Unplugged to formally announce his decision.

Speaking with CBS News congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes Karger said, "I've filed to run for President of the United States." (watch above)

Explaining what brought him to this moment Karger said, "It was the culmination of a lifetime of political work. It was a very exciting moment."

This is the first time Karger has run for political office, but he has been a behind-the-scenes player for 35 years -- serving as an advisor to Presidents Ford, Reagan and George H. W. Bush.

I must admit that every time I watch the feed I get a little teary eyed.  Bald Eagles are so powerful and amazing/beautiful, and since that is what/how I think about America, I get a little chocked up thinking that right now, America isn't as strong or as beautiful.  It breaks my heart.

"Being a gay Republicans is kind of an oxymoron," he said, "I have been a fighter in my party, I have always been on the more moderate side but I'm also a prot?g? of Lee Atwater. We need to open up this party and that's one of my reasons for running. The party should not be dominated by one faction or another. It should be open to all."

Karger also added, "I want to be a different kind of Republican. The kind of Republican I grew up with. I consider myself to be Progressive. The last Progressive Republican president was over 100 years ago; Theodore Roosevelt."

133 "Whomever was writing the article apparently didn't know how to spell protege, prot?g?....wtf." That was likely a character set substitution. I'm guessing the original author used a fancy-shmancy spellchecker that subbed the acute form of the letter "e" in the spelling of "protege" in UTF, and those characters, in turn, were replaced with the "?" characters when the page was converted to ISO-8859-1 for CBSNews' website.

The public appetite for a special election also seems to be on the wane. Fifty-one percent of respondents said they wanted one; in January, two-thirds said they welcomed an opportunity to vote on Brown's proposal. The governor promised voters during his campaign last year that they could sign off on any tax hikes.

wholesale corsets

The survey suggests that even if Brown manages to hold a special election, selling the taxes to the public will not be easy. Ballot measures with less than 50% support before a campaign begins typically fail.
 
This is an attempt to extend tax hikes. Sounds like it is about time for unions to call out the goon squads and get cracking.
