Notes From All Over

Well, as always there’s news from the Muslim Scum Club, or about them at least. It seems the London authorities investigating the recent spate of bombings there have established a link between the bunch that struck on July 7 and the group that botched the attempt more recently. I don’t think anyone is surprised by this, at least I know I’m not. Another thing about this group or groups, is that a few months ago members of both teams of bombers, were on a rafting trip in Wales. It is said to have been some type of bonding experience for them. Nice to see that the crazy “people” (their a chromosome or two short of being human in my opinion) of this world are making good use of modern psychology.
The Iraqi franchise of the Muslim Slum Club, Baghdad Yellowbellies Inc., had one of their members drive a truck into a crowd near a police station in Baghdad and blow himself up while killing 22 civilians. Isn’t this a wonderful way to wage war? Talk people into killing themselves while killing non-combatants that will make no difference in the final outcome of the conflict. Many call these individuals suicide bombers but they aren’t. They are homicide bombers. Low life scum that kill for no reason but the pleasure they receive from others suffering.
Also from Iraq, a Marine was killed by a roadside bomb (the method of a pedigreed coward) near the town of Rutbah. Our thanks and respect go to him and our sympathies go out to his family for their great loss. “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13 ESV)
The Afghanistan chapter of the Muslim Scum Club seems to be having a little trouble. I hope all those who oppose our presence there because “it isn’t making a difference” are listening. Their ranks have been diminished so badly by the conflict since the country’s liberation that they are recruiting boys as young as 14 out of sheer desperation. They are also, in those miniscule areas they still control, forcing families to give one son to the fight. So, to our fighting forces in Afghanistan I can only say thanks and keep up the good work.
Some of the news services made a big deal out of the fact the Pope pray that God would stop “the murderous hand” of the terrorist in London, Turkey, Iraq, Afghanistan etc. I have no problem with that, there are many things that point to the fact that only God can stop this senseless murders. There are several problems with the news item though. First, the Pope is just an ordinary man and his prayers are no more listened to than those of the rest of us. Millions of people around the world are praying about the war on terror every day. Second, the Muslims see Christianity as the religion of infidels so what good is a news item about prayer being offered by one of that faiths major figures. The fact that the prayer was offered up from his vacation villa in the Italian Alps doesn’t help either. It presents the wrong image and in the minds of the Muslims and helps cement the case against Christianity. The fact that he (the Pope) is about to head off to his summer home south of Rome doesn’t really help improve the situation.
Fred Thompson, the man that is spearheading the efforts to have John G. Roberts Jr. confirmed by the Senate was on Meet the Press today. Nothing really special came out but he did reconfirm the fact that the judge won’t be making comments about hypothetical or already decided cases. It seems the liberals just can’t accept the fact that the next Supreme Court Justice won’t deliberately breach accepted ethical practices. Makes you wonder about their standards doesn’t it?
Tim Russert brought up the fact that Sandra Day O’Conner, the retiring justice is disappointed that Roberts isn’t a woman. Now I may be simple minded but if the qualifications for the post include being female isn’t that gender bias against qualified male candidates? It’s something to think about anyway.
The government is stockpiling vaccines incase a human version of the bird flu (see yesterday’s post) threatens our population. So far they have 2.3 million doses on hand and are negotiating for 2 million more. The problem is that the World Health Organization recommends that a country have enough on hand equivalent to 25% of their population. Even with the 2 million doses being sought, this will leave us a 62 million dose shortage. Perhaps congress might want to consider forgetting about digging up dirt on Roberts or Rove for the present and worry about protecting its citizens from a deadly disease.
