For years we have heard delightful people scream "No blood for oil" or some some such political ditty.
I believe we are in Afghanistan and Iraq for many reasons and the stability of our economy is part of that and oil is part of our economy. Oil is a substance with which a despot like Saddam could use to blackmail or bring governments down.
Question to our friends across the aisle:
Do you want terrorists or terrorist states such as Iran controlling Iraq's oil fields to pursue more terror on innocent people?

Architecture for Humanity Getting Off the Ground
Via Veritas et Venustas to this post. Just add a power source, say a Category 4 hurricane and most of these designs will supply the lift to really get off the ground.
Dumb design, dumb reasoning and people dumb.
Chilean Sea Bass Meets Sarah Lee and Gets Gored
My wife commented on the menu a couple of days ago.
As the joke now goes, "Nobody doesn't like Sarah Lee", but this is about Sarah Gore Lee and her marriage menu. Sarah is the daughter of Algore and the Gorelees had everyone dine on Chilean Sea Bass as in the endangered fish.
Having jetted to the daughter's California wedding fresh from saving the earth with globe trotting rock stars, the Tennessee tycoon of global warming sat down to the dish.
I am not sure if Algore immediately jumped back on his jet to burn up some sky so as to check the settings on his spanking brand new solar panels sooner than later. The earth is in the balance, you know.
Dunno, maybe that's Tipper's job. She usually does the heavy lifting.

A sister in S CA wants to leave, but her neighborhood is so devastated by illegal aliens she can't find a buyer. She says a barrio is not the same as a ghetto. A ghetto has hope.

Illegal's Crime Devastating Families
Report: Deportation Devastating Families
An estimated 1.6 million children and spouses have been separated from
family members forced to leave the country under toughened 1996 immigration
laws, a human rights group said Wednesday.
The separations have taken a toll on families who have sold homes,
lost jobs, lost businesses or been thrown into financial turmoil, Human Rights
Watch said in a new report.The widespread impact on American families has been truly devastating, said Alison Parker, a senior researcher with Human Rights Watch.
American families? I don't think so.
What is truly devastating is the cost, financially and ethically, illegal immigration has on America.
Now lets discuss terrorists sneaking across the border. Whose families will be devastated?

RICO Reid and America
Although the RICO Act can be used in many contexts, the statute is most easily understood in its intended context: the Mafia. In the context of the Maifa, the defendant person (i.e., the target of the RICO Act) is the Godfather.
Are we now obliged to call Reid Godfather?
Dems ordered to trash Bush on TV...
Campaigns and political parties often provide sample messages that
supporters can repeat in media appearances. The Democratic memo includes this
just-add-water message template for Democratic senators to propagate: “President Bush has proven beyond any doubt that he won’t listen to the Congress or the American people unless he is forced to. While some Senate Republicans might not want to change course in Iraq, it does not gives them the right to block an up or down vote on legislation supported by a majority of the Congress and the
American people.”
The memo says Senate Democrats are coordinating with their House
counterparts to produce an echo effect during floor speeches in the other
chamber. Under a section called, “Amplifying Our Message to Force a Change Of
Course in Iraq,” the memo gives this overview: --
“Senate Democrats will tape TV feeds and actualities back to their home
states.” --
“Outside groups will hold a 'call to action' event Tuesday night to
call on Republicans to end their Iraq filibuster.” --
“Iraq veterans will make visits to Senate offices asking Republican
Senators to allow an up or down vote on the Levin-Reed Amendment.” --
“Center for American Progress will live-blog the all night session.”
--
“Senate Democrats will conduct interviews on national cable and radio.”
--
“The Steering and Outreach Committee will release a video of Iraq
veterans and military families calling for a change of course in
Iraq.”
Are we now obliged to call Reid Godfather?
Bill Batchelder For Speaker
Following Ohio politics is much easier if you know who to watch.
Watching Bill Batchelder shows you where the state, the GOP and conservatives should go. As Speaker, the direction will be clearer and very much a case of substance over style.
Matt at Right Angle has some very cool material on this very subject.

Over Before It Begins
If there is a barely sentient parliamentarian in the Senate Republican
leadership, Sen. Harry Reid's (D-Searchlight) proposed all night debate over Iraq may be over before the moon rises. David Freddoso has been examining the Senate rules and has discovered a tiny impediment to Reid's dream time debate. It's the notion of a quorum.

Wisdom & Street Smarts
What is the difference between a violin and a fiddle?
The way it's spelled.
When home, father was father and mother was mother. When with friends they were mom and dad. My mother was reared in a good family from Virginia. My father married up.
I once used a vulgarity when speaking with my mother. Once. When I came to, dad was using all 4'11" of his body to pummel me while screaming that nobody insulted his wife, not even a *%&$#@g little *&%!%@ like me.
Recap, mother was mother and my dad grew up a "shrimp" on the streets of Akron. The bad side of the bad side of Akron.
Mother had wisdom and dad had street smarts. Both were very wise indeed.
A lot of living, when mixed with good reasoning, can produce extraordinary people.
My father grew up in a world of expected failure with his "gang" of Hunkies, Micks, Kikes and Darkies. He kept his "gang" together as best he could until his early death. He had navigated life by being the only one in his neighborhood to finish high school, completing college and Medical School. I remember visiting re-hab for the Hunkie and attending the opening of the Kikes own store with dad. I also remember watching my father weep uncontrollably at the funeral of the Mick and witnessing the defiance of physics as my father beat a man twice his size half to death for calling Darkie a nigger.
Darkness can create light in a person's life.
With my mother, father didn't swear, smoked his cigars elsewhere, danced with her like Fred Astaire, attended church, and worked himself to death for her and her children. Us. His sunshine. Though the street beast was always on watch and ready for action.
Sometimes people from good families go bad and sometimes good people rise above their Hell.
Read the rest, but beware. There is some strong language, but there is also a university of self education. There is also an honesty that is strikingly absent in our universities.
I know where Micky is coming from. The old been there, done that, but there's a whole lotta wisdom in street smarts.

Loosing Your Balls Will Change Your Voice
July 11th, 2007
I will probably never get any awards for blogging or for beautiful
literature. First reason would be that I have done much
more talking than spelling in my life. I know a lot of very impressive
words. But it really takes away from the fun when I have to keep looking
back and forth at the dictionary. The second reason is that I refuse to
conform to todays requirements for political correctness. Its a disease.I wont
have any part of it. The third reason is that I treasure my
profanity, it makes me feel better. Its a shortcut to explaining just how
much I like or dislike something or someone. Some may think it’s classless
, some will say it shows a lack of imagination and education. Although I do
agree that it can get boring real quick like a Chris Rock concert. But
when used in place it serves a purpose.
And that purpose would be to defeat the enemy...
Read the rest, but beware. There is some strong language, but there is also a university of self education. There is also an honesty that is strikingly absent in our universities.
I know where Micky is coming from. The old been there, done that, but there's a whole lotta wisdom in street smarts.

Keith Ellison Locks Himself in Nut-Ball Box
Bush like Hitler, says first Muslim in Congress
I dismiss you.
Addressing a gathering of atheists in his home state of Minnesota, Keith
Ellison, a Democrat, compared the 9/11 atrocities to the destruction of the
Reichstag, the German parliament, in 1933. This was probably burned down by the Nazis in order to justify Hitler's later seizure of emergency powers."It's almost like the Reichstag fire, kind of reminds me of that," Mr Ellison said.
"After the Reichstag was burned, they blamed the Communists for it, and it put
the leader [Hitler] of that country in a position where he could basically have
authority to do whatever he wanted."To applause from his audience of 300 members of Atheists for Human Rights, Mr Ellison said he would not accuse the Bush administration of planning 9/11 because "you know, that's how they put you in the nut-ball box - dismiss you".
I dismiss you.

Ron Paul On Who Killed 3,000 + WTC Victims
Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush
And all of us.
ALL of US, except RonPaulBoy (RPBs) supporters. They knew. THEY KNEW!
Oh, and the architect of WTC 1 & II. Wasn't he an Arab or something? Or a middle eastern type guy. Or gal. Or weirdo.
THEY PLANNED. As did Osama bin Laden. Oh, my dear God, don't forget George W. Bush. Ooh, and George Herbert Walker Bush. And the ghost of Ronald Reagan. And Roosevelt, Teddy not Franklin D. and Jefferson.
Black helicopters are swarming. Unfortunately, the rest of us can't see them.
Luckily e-bay is selling RP paraphernalia hand over fist.
40,000 sales at present. Out of 301,139,947 people in America. That is smoking. Just like the first Monkees album. Without Davy Jones. Or a beat.
Stevie Ray Vaghan would cry a river. Make a Texas flood.
There is Texas and there is texas.
Would the defenders of the Alamo buy this crap? No.
We, the United States of America, caused 9/11? No.
The only people more crazy than RP are RPBs. They are at least two genetic steps below Lyndon LaRouche.
Don't come a knockin...
This country is rockin...
Without their help.
Or without the help of Lyndon "I'm outta prison" LaRouche.

Bully Beats on Wimp Over Iraq, Both Lose
Mr. James Webb showed his talent for working with his peers while remaining stenatorial in his normal practice of brow beating.
Webb is an amoral ass. He is also a semi-intellectual moron. Polls? Might as well be Poles. Allen gave him the seat by being one seat down the food chain.
Why are Democrats so afraid of beating the terrorists in Iraq. Better put, why do they want to lose?
Webb is nothing more than a school yard bully. My sister would have kicked him in the .......
UPDATE: Oh yeah, I've had e-mail. My little sister is about four years older than me and a total, absolute pistol and I love her unto death. At a threatening 5'2", she can kick the air out of whatever soccer ball you want to put in front of her. You wanna play field hockey? You will lose. She is that good.
And that deadly. I know.

Chairman Finally Sees Eye To Eye With Enemy
Squirrels
Chairman Short met his match. Squirrels with eavesdropping devices have been listening in on Iranian defenses. My Mahmoud gnawed on a pistachio as he interrogated the squirrels one by one chucking the shell to the side as he wistfully gazed at the horizon of his future. Local villagers rushed to grab the shell hoping to make a meal for their families as Ahmadinejad retreated to his matchbox for reflection.
The lucky winner praised Allah as his provider. The others stoned him as an apostate. The shell's location is unknown, but Pakistani authorities expressed an opinion that the shell had been detained for questioning.
When asked for comment the squirrels squeaked before they were ushered off for formal finger printing, but their Iranian lawyers stated that Ziomericans are not allowed to be quoted in the Free Republic of Iran.
Chairman Ahmadinejad stated before leaving for a viewing of naked finger tips in a neighboring village that "These damned Zionist rodents are everywhere. First we will nuke the Jewish ant and then the Zionist rodent. With the grace of Allah, Bush will learn what burning really means. Get it? Burning, Bush, but I only chuckle myself."
Alice, in Wonderland, has not returned repeated calls for comment.

Syria
"The Krak of the Knights, described by T.E. Lawrence as 'the best preserved and most wholly admirable castle in the world,' is the easternmost of a chain of five castles sited so as to secure the Homs Gap...The castle stands upon a southern spur of the Gebel Alawi, on the site of an earlier Islamic 'Castle of the Kurds.' In 1142 it was given by Raymond, Count of Tripoli, into the care of the Knights Hospitallers, and it was they who, during the ensuing fifty years, remodelled and developed it as the most distinguished work of military architecture of its time.
