An interesting post...
A local blogger has an interesting post that is very well thought out and has handy links. The post concerns Arcata, California and the newly minted Sandy Springs, Georgia. Keep an eye on these two experiments in local government. And thanks to Tim Peck for noticing and caring enough to write about i...

Battlestar Galactica episode "Black Market"
No content spoilers, psychological spoilers only.I hope this was an aberration. My personal nickname for this episode is "Saigon on a Freighter" and just, well, I dunno. Threw me for such a loop I forgot to continue recording after the 2nd commercial break. The deleted scenes for this episode better show an editing problem of biblical proportions. Too much new material to absorb at once, I guess I'll have to record again Monday night and watch it a few times.Note to Ron Moore:Please don't pull a "V"-style Elizardbeth with the hybrid Homo sapiens...

Hamas wins elections?
I guess the old adage that says the Palestinians don't miss an opportunity to mess up IS true.I hope this finally beats it into some thick skulls in the Israeli electorate that the Palestinians are so driven by hate that they have forfeited any right (if they ever had any) to be regarded as rational people.I heard the news from the BBC this morning, but didn't give any credence to it because of the Beeb's bias against Israel. Later, as I checked out the Top Stories on FOX, I saw a promo for the rebroadcast of Cavuto talking about a Hamas win....

Strike Three for the Unfit Nations
What? A Scandal at the UN involving money? The boys in Powder Blue ran away while people were being killed?Wretchard has the details.I just wish i could meet someone who works for the UN face-to-face, just one time, I'd laugh at him/her/it until it hurt.I find myself beginning to believe they are far more dangerous to us than all our oher enemies because they provide shelter for them.I guess the prefix their acronym spells out was a Freudian slip after all, at least The League of Nations had a ring to it, even if they were just as an incompetent...

Why did Canada vote Conservative?
Because they didn't want our liberals moving there!Since I didn't work yesterday (it was raining), I was fortunate enough to be ensconced in Hunter Library at WCU all day.I got to hear the last few minutes of Ken Bagwell before 9 am on WZNNWZGM. Later, I listened to a little Rush and then Take A Stand with Matt Mittan. Visited my very first Chat Room also during the show. It was different, hearing the host on the radio and seeing his words typed on the screen as he carried on conversations with the "Cave Dwellers". Found out wb means welcome back....

Fire on the Mountain
![](http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7556/1112/200/081_81.jpg)
Yesterday, some contract workers tried to burn a brush pile without raking around it, and even worse, had no rakes or shovels with which they could've combated a breakout. WoW ! And to think we had a hard time keeping our piles going. Go Figure. Anyhow here are some photos I shot of the fire and the response...About four brush trucks from the NC Forest Service and a truck from the Maggie Valley Volunteer Fire Department responded. They all left...

Blame Me...
They serve for me — blame me.They were wounded for me — blame me.They died for my freedom — blame me.In my heart, every day is Memorial Day.There is a lot of contention regarding the war on terror recently. I don't understand why. We're at war with people who would destroy us without thinking twice. I certainly respect the feelings of mothers who have lost children in the service of our country. In another way I also thank people like them, because the precious sacrifices of their children keep me free. God bless them, for they have offered up...

The Idiots' Guide To the Alito Confirmation, part one

Do you want to hold it?Alito...It sure is pretty. I'll pass.Sen R...That was a bad rope Sen D tried to offer you.

The Phone Game in Real Life
.The tragic death of 12 of 13 Miners, and the communications mixup which ensued reminds me of a somthing I learned right after becoming a volunteer firefighter in the late eighties, the phone game.I believe we were in a communications class, and our instructor told all of us rookies to line up in a semi-circle. He had a message to deliver to the last person in line. There were between twenty and thirty of us betwwen him and the last person in line. He whispered his message, that person then whispered it to the next, and so on until the last person...
