"It's about Time, It's about Space"
"About Strange People in the strangest Place"
(Gerald Fried & Sherwood Schwartz)
Might be talking about the rep-rehensible John Murtha (D. PA). As all are aware, Murtha has made continual derogatory statements regarding the conduct of our troops as well as their ability to fight a war. He supposedly speaks from experience, being a veteran himself, however, one is hard-pressed to find many veterans of any wars (specifically in said Murtha's district) who would endorse his statements.
Which may work out well for the young Marine who is now suing Murtha for libel. Apparently, Murtha's statement and sources are not protected under any constitutional privledge because a) they were made out of the scope of his job description and b) he's missing a press pass.
Finally an opportunity to take to task those who sensationalize and lie outright in order to make a political point and/or gain power in Congress or their party.
See Washington Post Story here.
Speaking of the Press, the New York Times is being called (or hauled) into court for the treacherous behavior of certain journalist and once again "sources within our government" as relates to their aid and abetment of those who would do harm to everyday citizens. Breibert reports
Fitzgerald (special prosecutor) apparently is interested in getting to the bottom of why a New York Times Reporter felt it was necessary to call an Islamic Terrorist Cell (i.e. charity) prior to an FBI raid. "Do you have any comment on the fact that the FBI is about to raid your building?" (paraphrased) quipped the Reporter.
To the amazement of the FBI, no one was about when they came calling.
Gives one pause.
But only for a moment.
The Times, will of course, appeal, but to whom? Readership is already in a spiral. Enough said.
Lastly, to snap oneself back to reality, watch and listen to Kevin Cosgroves 911 call from the 102 floor of the World Trade Center the morning of September 11th, 2001. Watch video here It is a heart-wrenching, chilling reminder that everyday American's are subject to acts of terrorism. Perhaps this event was missed by those over at the NY Times building?
Peace, strength and victory to Israel as they defend themselves as well as our way of life.

Quick Thinking
Having never been the most graceful of individuals, it appears that I should be equipped with a warning label: "Likely to cause harm to self in simple situations."
In the blazing heat of the weekend and in a cookout setting, using less than perfect wisdom, a neighbor offered a carona, and against, better judgment (as I rarely, if ever, drink), I drank that beer. It was good.
Until, while attempting to remove a packet of foil wrapped ribs from the grill (a hazard under any circumstance), the packet slipped and my foot was covered in extremely hot barbecue sauce!
For what seemed like 30 seconds.
Until an orange slurpee (7-Eleven, best brand) froze my foot on the spot! My quick thinking friend gave up her drink of choice to douse the burn on my foot.
Those things are cold!
As the northeast braces for a week of extreme temperatures, and the fighting continues worldwide, it is a comfort to know that there are still individuals out there that will make what appear to be small sacrifices (I know how valuable those slurpees are) to help a friend or neighbor.

Articles of Interest
A new documentary is playing in very select (limited) theaters across the country. "Obsession, The Movie" details the reality of radical Islam and the need to confront this reality head-on. Trailer, Events and Pre-order available here. Unless contained by whatever means necessary, this brand of hatred will engulf the globe. Hysteria? Hatred of America tops the list (the USA may be tied with Israel). Is it our global policy or politics that has the mullah's panties in a bunch? Hardly. It is our total lack of morals. The women, the music, the laws of the United States are what drives the mullahs to distraction. Advise: Invest in an on-line Arabic translator (links available on site) for the real skinny.
The Big Dig. Why on earth is a small bridge construction project in a small city in Western Massachusetts taking five (5) years to complete? Funds were diverted to Boston's "Big Dig". Little good that did. Perhaps John "I could have prevented the Israeli/Hezbollah conflict" Kerry (strangely similar to Al "I invented the internet" Gore) might share some of the booty he received from AIG Insurance for his support of the project? Fox reports AP While politician's have profited since the inception of the project, the taxpayer's both state and national have taken one for the "team". The problem; Massachusetts politician's have always been tainted with corruption. From the Bolger's to the Kennedy's; murder, mayhem and bootlegging appears to be the theme. Is it no wonder that the innocent citizens of the state are left with no choices at election time? These poster-boys for the RNC could be replaced by Donald Duck in a heartbeat, but powers that could and should invest and campaign in the name of decency (what's 12 electoral votes?) would rather use the state's showcase idiot's come election time. Ted Kennedy and John Kerry play well on Radio Idaho.
If those living in Massachusetts are hanging their heads in shame, neighbors to the south and west living in New York have their own millstone. Sheldon Silver, one of "those" lawyers and speaker of the New York State Assembly has decided that no bill should pass his desk that supports mandatory sentences for level 3 child rapists. This is not the only issue the good speaker has taken a strong stand against. If the issue is decency, Silver is firmly against it (unless his firm is representing a "piece of the pie"). Visit the New York State Assembly website or dogpile, google, yahoo this particular Massachusetts like politician and enjoy the ride.
Israel. Pray for their success. (see first entry on film) They may be the world's only hope. One may be against war and bloodshed, which is all well and good and sane, however, there comes a time when protecting oneself is allowed. In this case, the eradication of Hezbollah will protect Israeli. Every American should be throwing their support firmly behind this besieged democracy.
