10 years ago yesterday, al Qaeda terrorists attacked the USS Cole, killing 17 sailors. Because of events one year later we seem to have forgotten those sailors. There has been no justice for them even though we have the mastermind in custody and know who his conspirators are.

37: It is close races, reasonably winnable by small-government conservatives, where I want to send a little money to help out. But both of the races you mention seem to be pro-abortion moderates (Charlie Bass and Mark Kirk) and I’m a single issue prolifer at the bottom line so I have to look elsewhere. Are there any close races in… Read more »

Finished my class. We only had to relocate two students and confiscate one note. The beat call downs to recover some sense of order were also somewhat reduced.

I am making progress.

That big bombshell announcement from Charlie Crist is… Robert F. Kennedy Jr.; Video: Kennedy dumps on Rubio, tea party

Great. I got myself worked up last night over what turns out to be an endorsement for Crist by an heir to a drunken family. 🙁 But I guess it’s a lot better news than Meeks dropping out of the race.

Perhaps the most appropriate charge ever levied against a perp. An argument started when his parents came home from their shopping trip to find “their layabout of a son in bed and hungover,” prosecution attorney Crispin Aylett told the court. A routine argument became out of control and Dighton stabbed his parents, Aylett added. Dighton denies the murder but admitted… Read more »

A Perry’s poke chop for lunch (and breakfast, skipped in anticipation,) choir practice tonight, preceded by a brew and a snack with adopted lil sister, and my unilateral declaration of “Hawaiian shirt day” leave no room for political bantering or serious factual debates.

So when 40 State’s Attorney Generals investigate the housing market and try to reach a conclusion in order to assign blame, will they find themselves staring squarely at US Congress and all the seedy connections at Fannie and Freddy? I sure hope they do. I also hope that spurs the Justice Department to take criminal action where necessary.
