Future President Thompson weighs in on gun control and it’s “sudden” relevance after last week’s tragedy.
The logic behind this attitude baffles me, but I suspect it has to do with a basic difference in worldviews. Some people think that power should exist only at the top, and everybody else should rely on “the authorities” for protection.
…under any circumstances. “Desktop Tower Defense” is inexplicably, painfully, extremely addictive :)
And, because I care about you dear reader, I’ve thoughtfully provided the game for you here, now, for your own productivity-destroying pleasure.
Terrorists endorse Pelosi’s ‘good policy of dialogue’
Abu Abdullah, a leader of Hamas‘ military wing in the Gaza Strip, said the willingness by some lawmakers to talk with Syria “is proof of the importance of the resistance against the US.
“The Americans know and understand they are losing in Iraq and the Middle East and that their only chance to survive is to reduce hostilities with Arab countries and with Islam. Islam is the new giant of the world,” he said.
I can’t add much to that.

Found this fun new toy over at myheritage.com: “Find the celebrity in you!” Only downside: you have to create a myheritage.com account to use it.
I test drove it with pictures from Nichole’s recent birthday party — the results were interesting. As icing, once you’ve gone through the process and gotten your “celebrity” lookalikes, the site will build you a slick-daddy way to embed the results in your blog/myspace/friendster page. I give it a 7/10 for coolness, with -1 for the required signup. Our results are below the fold :)
Government must deal with greenhouse gases: US Supreme Court
“The harms associated with climate change are serious and well recognized,” said judge John Paul Stevens as the ruling was carried by five votes in favor to four against.
Reeeeally. A recent documentary “The Great Global Warming Swindle” (Google Video, YouTube, Wikipedia info) offers some of the most compelling counter arguments to the manmade global warming meme that I’ve come across in quite a while.
What makes the Supreme Court story so ridiculous is a) the idea that our esteemed USSC judges are even remotely qualified to evaluate the case for manmade global warming and then issue judicial decrees based on their evaluations and b) it makes heavy use of the idiotic “consensus of scientists” argument. I won’t even touch a), but I’ll address b) …loudly, for those of you in the cheap seats: REAL SCIENCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CONSENSUS. Wake up, before it’s too late.
