   Okay, then.
   Don’t close the door, I’ll get it, as I may not be far behind.
   I really wanted to put together a piece about Sen. Dingus Reid, the surge, and reality, but ain’t got the octane.

   The Afghan government and Nato have said publicly that figures for civilian casualties after military action are often exaggerated or fabricated.

   Officials say insurgents are exploiting the issue to pressurise the government.

   The remarks came amid continuing regular reports of high numbers of civilian deaths or injuries as a result of foreign military strikes.

   Wait…what?
   AQ is using disinformation, taqqiya, lying, propaganda erroneous reports to weaken the will of the foreign forces citizens, and the Afghan citizens?
   Now why would they think that making such false reports could possibly weaken the resolve of the nations that are fighting…oh, wait…!

   Heh. From Frank J:

   President Bush sat at his desk, twiddling his thumbs. After a while of boredom, he hit the button on the intercom and asked his receptionist, “Any calls for me?”

   “No, sir. No calls for you. You’re a lame duck.”

   “Awwww.” Bush sunk in his chair.

   “Wait, Harry Reid is here to see you.”

   “Oh. Okay. Send him in.” Harry Reid walked into the office. “Anyone ever tell you you have the worst porn name ever?”

   Well, GW is right. Harry Reid IS the worst porn name ever.

   Well, I am just about wore out for this day.
   The news is all dripping with the news of Lady Bird Johnson. She is from near my home town and Caddo Lake. She was born and raised in Karnack, a few miles from where Lead Belly’s family lived, and she attended my old high school in Marshall. Her Daddy ran a country general store, selling anything a poor farmer or sharecropper could want on credit, as long as they signed their land titles over to him. She was the only person in her senior class in high school, to have a car.
   No, I learned not to speak ill of the dead, or say nothing if I couldn’t say something nice, so I will just say__________________________________!

   Oh. My. I thought that she was a nice lady married to a ruthless man. Didn’t know about that. However, the children are not responsible for their fathers, after all.

    If you get a chance tomorrow, read Slouching Toward Bethlehem at ShrinkWrapped (although you may have already seen it as I’ve been REALLY wrapped up in an ugly work situation these past few days, and may be for the rest of the week).

    Well, heck, what did I do with the link? Guess I laid it down and forgot to put it in the envelope before I mailed it.

    Here’s one that I shamelessly stole from Tim Blair: Bikini Girls with Machine Guns. Grumpy middle-aged ladies like me are fully clothed with shotguns.

    No, but she didn’t shy away from the money he made, either, or all the thousands of acres of beautiful East Texas land he left her, with all conveyances. It’s also where she acquired her ruthless and ambitious nature, that pushed a fairly lazy school teacher to become President.
    Anyway…I’ve said enough about that. I’ll just say, in her golden years, she was philanthropic, or atoning, which ever one prefers.
    I don’t think I’ve ever been to Shrink Wrapped, and have been so busy since March, I haven’t been as diligent, as before, checking in on some of my favorites.
    Sure hope the work sitch works out for ya’. What happened with the teaching job interview, anyway? Answer, and I’ll see it around wtfdoesthatclocksay:30 hrs.

    I, uh, refused to go. I would have had to be a club leader as well, and it didn’t include baseball bats and baby seals.

    Good night, all. Maybe I’m just nostalgic for a time when the good guys wore white hats, and good always triumphed over evil, at least on television.

    Just watched Pentagon TV, the 11 Jul 07 briefing by BG Bergner pointed out by PowerLine. Very, VERY interesting.

    There are 60 to 80 foreign suicide bombers per month coming into Iraq, mostly via Syria.

    In a 2003 issue of Circulation and 2005 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, they reported that natural body fat on women actually had a dominant anti-atherogenic benefit. “The lowest aortic calcification scores [and other metabolic risk factors] were found in women with a high percentage of central body fat (21.6±0.1%) and high percentage of peripheral fat (27.3±0.14%).” They said their studies demonstrated that “generally obese women enjoy cardiovascular benefits of their excessive peripheral fat mass,” possibly due “to the excessive secretion of adiponectin from subcutaneous adipocytes, which provides insulin-sensitizing, anti-inflammatory, and antiatherogenic effects.”

    So I have been pounding the track in the summer heat trying to exorcise my fat which actually acts as a cardioprotective measure for women? I have given up chocolate cake to starve my fat into submission so that I won’t have a heart attack when my abused fat may actually protect me (if it weren’t sulking over the mistreatment)?

    Somebody needs to be punished for this.

    The first shift detected occurred around 9,000 years ago and the second around 8,000 years ago. Evidence suggests that these shifts were due to changes in the Gulf Stream, which normally keeps the UK climate warm and wet.

    During each shift the North West climate cooled with an average summer temperature fall of 1.6 degrees — approximately three times the amount of temperature change currently attributed to global warming.

    Scientists found that the atmosphere cooled rapidly and cold periods lasted up to 50 years for one event and 150 years for the other. The detection of these events will allow experts to understand more clearly what can happen when the climate system is disturbed.

    Okay, I think I have it now, the wicked fast SUVs and wasteful air conditioners and excess CO2 outputs of those damn Gaia-raping neolithics were responsible for global warming with some relatively brief and *disastrous rebounds into global cooling. Or maybe because their average lifespans were only to @20 years, they were just recycling themselves too quickly.

    *Crops don’t grow well during global cooling.

    I salute you, all you neolithic Gaia raper ancestors, because if it weren’t for you and your carbon proligate lifestyles, the glaciers would not have melted and all the damn New Yorkers would have been down here in Florida, not just the retirees.

    Monitor lizards blamed for eating neighborhood cats. Sigh. I do not know why we cannot stop importing pain in the ass exotic nuisance animals like monitor lizards, boa constrictors, anacondas, etc., that are thriving in south Florida.
