Ya know, I had not previously known how similar a label-side down tube of zinc oxide diaper cream looks to a tube of Crest toothpaste when one is stumbling around getting ready for bed until tonight.

Hi swampwaoman - yep me too - I smothered myself in toothpaste much to my daughters delight (and she won’t let me forget it).

Excellent set of links Nuke.

UK is in the grip of a mini heatwave. Lovely but unseasonal.

Good shot of the US1 divide between burning and nonburning (or perhaps I should say not yet burning) forests.

I don’t think I’ve posted any pictures yet of the Kneeknocker Swamp fire just outside Nahunta, Georgia. It has been a smoky day here and everything is coughing.

Hey Nuke,
Utah is what I would call a progressive state. Something tells me we won’t be hearing about any one way shoot out there.

Thanks for pimping my post. Appreciate it. Sorry I’ve not been by much lately.

Yep. That’s the only way al qaeda could declare victory, and the Dems are trying to do it for them.

Hunh!
Don’t have the time to process this report. Somehow, it just don’t seem quite right, but then the guy at the end sort of sets it straight.

“The danger for al Qaeda, of course, is that an extended American presence is actually a huge defeat for them, as has been the case in Afghanistan and is actually in Iraq,” he added. “I’m also quite sure that the one thing al Qaeda would most celebrate as a victory is an American withdrawal from Iraq.”

Well, then, I’m glad that we have that all straightened out. Those people that are getting blown up and shot and beheaded and tortured to death and all, guess it was just some sort of mass delusion because of Islam being all against violence.

I believe that there article is a good example of cognitive dissonance.

Yikes, wind advisory in effect. Hope nobody flicks a cigarette out the window on a roadside abutting a forest anywhere near me.

I’m glad you specified which poopy-pants Reid you were referring to, as the Reid in the UK has exhibited, what must be, the same defeatist attitude that this Reid does.
Perhaps the muslims in these four countries need to listen to this guy.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — Troops captured four suspected members of a secret terrorist training network in Baghdad, the U.S. military said.

The network takes militants from Iraq to Iran for training, and transports explosives from Iran into Iraq, the military alleges.

“Intelligence reports also indicate the secret cell has ties to a kidnapping network that conducts attacks within Iraq.” the military said.

The suspects were arrested in the Baghdad Shiite stronghold of Sadr City, where support for Iran is high. The Bush administration has long insisted that Iran is helping insurgents create chaos in Iraq.

Many of the powerful, improved explosive devices used in Iraq, and the parts used to make them, have been coming out of neighboring Iran, the U.S. military said.

I wonder what ties will surface connecting Iran to this story?

Drat. I had declared this a no news day, and looks like I’m gonna have to look.

This is odd, though. Since it is oil money that plays a big part in the funding of terrorist operations plus being 45% of GDP (and 90% of exports) for Saudi, it seems a little counterproductive if it is a homegrown effort and, really, haven’t they noticed that without oil revenues, food would be really, really hard to come by for that population? The population at @ 22 million (plus 5 and a half million imported workers) has passed the point at which it would be workable for everybody to graze goats between oasises.

Swampie, you really need to download those programs I mentioned.
The IObit defragger is so cool!
Once installed, you can click on the auto-defrag feature on the left, and it shows, on a graph, the constant defragging process, how much of your disk is in use, and how much of your CPU is in use.

Rebellious?
If your pickemup truck has an airbag in the steering wheel(not behind it), your injuries will be even more severe, if the bag is deployed, and you’re not wearing a restraint. Broken legs fo’sho, and probably massive fractures to the upper body and face.
I’ve always worn them, since my Dad installed them on his favorite Buick, before they were required by law to be installed. He raced cars professionally, before I was born.
Also, I have waded through too many gallons of blood while investigating car accidents, to not ever wear mine.

Shouldn’t I have the right to die from not wearing a seatbelt? I used to wear a seatbelt all the time until it became mandatory. Now I don’t. Just rebellious, I guess.

100,000 Americans die every year from mismatched pharmacuticals.
50,000 die in car crashes, 40,000 because they weren’t wearing seatbelts.

Great piece by Amir Taheri.
Desparately Seeking Defeat In Iraq.

It is possible that Reid imagined that his analytical problems are over simply because he has identified the loser in this war. The truth is that his troubles are only beginning. He must tell Americans to whom they wish their army to surrender in Iraq.

That Reid is desperately trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory is not surprising. His party requires an American defeat in Iraq in order to win the Congressional and presidential elections next year.

Yeah, the kids have gotten to school maybe 2 days in the last two weeks.

/And there would be three more weeks of school…if they got to go. One of the elementary schools had to have school in a church due to smoke damage at the school. Hope nobody from the ACLU has a heart attack over that one.

3 N2L- The dems have invested heavily in a loss in Iraq. At this point, in order to fullfill their prophecy and drive home their point that Bush is incompetent, the war MUST be lost. They will put up all roadblocks to success, because when we don’t loose, their allegiance with our enemy will be hard to explain.

SwampMan’s male nail driving champion from his classes washed out in the first round of competition, but he was only in the 9th grade and got a little nervous against the big ol’ seniors from some of the other schools, I think. If he takes the class again next year, he should do well.

A member of SwampMan’s class won the Nail Driving Championship sponsored by the builder’s association. A beautiful petite blond-headed girl from his class won the girl’s division. He’s so proud of her! The big ol’ giant boy from another high school that won the boy’s division, when they did the boy versus girl champions nail driving competition, just could *not* bring himself to “beat” a girl, and let her win.

Some of the girls from the other schools that were in the contest, now, SwampMan mentioned that he thought maybe should be chromosome tested to make sure they were in the right division. (I was having to kick him frequently.)

I remember stating I was baffled by Newt’s performance while attending a debate on gorebal warming with the failed Fwench candidate for POTUS.
There had to be another explanation for his behavior, and it appears there was…rope-a-dope!
We Can Have Green Conservatism — And We Should.

The time has come to define a fundamentally different approach to a healthy environment and a healthy economy. The time has come for the development of Green Conservatism as an alternative to big bureaucracy and big litigation liberal environmentalism.
———————-
So in the future, I’m going to be talking a lot about Green Conservatism. After all, conservatives can stand toe to toe with any liberal anywhere in America when it comes to wanting to build a better future for ourselves and our families. Four hundred years of American experience has demonstrated that a commitment to science, entrepreneurship and free markets can create better solutions for a better future than lawyers and bureaucrats and their never-ending schemes of regulation and taxation.
