Some Weekend Reading

Here are a few stories to keep you busy until Monday…

• I guess the Federal Emergency Management Agency is just filled to the brim with citizen journalists and bloggers. Either that, or they are trying to plant a few employees and stage a press conference.
• Sixty-five years ago, one Marine and one ship made a difference in World War II.
• October is looking like it will be the second straight month to have a decline in American and civilian deaths in Iraq. Looks like the Democrats will get a win-lose situation on their hands soon. The war will be over, but we will have won instead of them forcing retreat. Now all we have to do is keep them from offending Turkey or any other allies and this thing might be over soon.
• For some, personal responsibility is dead. Barney Frank is one of those people. He is sponsoring a bill that allows homeowners to sue lenders who lent them money they knew they could not repay. I hope I can stop shaking my head in disbelief sometime today.
• A fifteen year old takes Romney to the woodshed.
• The Intellectual Conservative fires a broadside shot at the Church of Global Warming. The alarmists inside were heard shouting, “Sanctuary….SANCTUARY!” Al Gore did a fly over in his Gulf Stream to assess the situation and sell some carbon credits.
• Did you know that I am a racial oppressor? Oh yeah. Do you have white skin? You’re an oppressor too. Surprised you didn’t know that. Walter Williams looks at the movie “Indoctrinate U,” which highlights a university professor who claims “whiteness is a form of racial oppression.” Your tax dollars at work.

In non political, but really cool, news”

• A hobbyist made a balloon, added a camera and a GPS and sent it up. It reached an altitude of 30 kilometers and sent back some really cool pictures.
• What happens when you shoot for sticks of chalk with a bullet?
• The 13 Most Genuinely Creepy Places on Earth.
• Fast Company gives us the most innovating ways to nap.
• This just might break the cute meter.

Have a great weekend!
