News and Notes

Interesting stuff from around the web:

Projecting the face of Allah over a battlefield for the scare effect? Just make sure it's not one of the ones drawn by Danish cartoonist's or we'll be accused of torture of some other such nonsense.

The slimiest dude in politics just sounds like an idiot bitching about media bias against a Clinton. Please just shut the hell up, Terry!

When Bush beat Gore, Tony Blair was miffed according to Cherie Blair's new bleeding heart tome. I'm sure he felt much better when Islamo-fascist's struck America and London. Would Tony and Cherie have preferred to have the Goracle in office then? One would suspect the answer to be in the negative.

Potential Veep candidate Tim Pawlenty talks like a dude, libs freak out.

Our (almost) Darwin Award winner for today. This one deserves a block quote:

FORT WORTH — A Fort Worth man trying to scratch an itch on his back used a revolver and accidentally shot himself.

Jorge Espinal, 44, was drinking beer and playing poker around 3 a.m. Sunday morning in his home in the 3500 block of Montague Street, when he got up from the table and walked into another room, said Fort Worth police Lt. Kenneth Dean.

“He told officers he had an itch on his back and grabbed the first thing he could get a hold of, which was a revolver,” Lt. Dean said. “The gun went off."

I don't know about you but I was a bit surprised there was alcohol involved. Senor Espinal should thank the good Lord that he didn't have an itch on his huevos.

A note about posting. In the last six weeks I've been at baseball tourneys in Maryland, PA, PA again, Rehoboth, DE, Rehoboth again and this week in southern Maryland. My son is playing well, pitching and catching, and it's much more important to me to coach him than post to this blog.
