CombatEffective - I am the warrant and the sanction. (Ayn Rand)

...I think this could be a good idea - if the deceased or family had or have given authorization beforehand. For them to show up and begin sustaining measures with the hope or expectation of organ release...that's a recipe for disaster (and litigation).

...she incurred the debt. She should pay it. All of those people that contributed to Obama's campaign did not do so with the intent to alleviate the Clinton's burden.

Mugabe and co. need to be bitchslapped. Instead, we'll express "outrage" and the insanity will continue.

...it's pretty common knowledge that a lot of map projections show Africa as smaller than it is. How much so?

Consider the first image that comes up when you Google "the world map".

 


Look now at the 'Robinson projection', the map in popular use since the 60's.


 


Then there's the 'Peters projection'. Peters argued that the maps before his skewed the way the world was viewed by the West. His, he claimed, was a true to scale map.

An LA judge will not throw out 15 of the 16 counts again Representative William Jefferson. That's good news. The defense had hoped to sell the 'allegedly' corrupt Congressman as one who engaged in mere "influence peddling".

In other Jefferson news, the Congressman has endorsed Obama. I wouldn't expect Obama to tout that endorsement, both for it's origin and late timing.

AC Grayling makes the case for arresting Mugabe and trying him for human rights violations in the Hague. Comment madness ensues.

...no shame, no gain. Michael Tomasky writes on the audacity of the Clintons, their lack of shame, and sense of entitlement. I have one more post planned about the Clintons and then - barring any truly remarkable news - that is the last thing I will have to say about them for awhile.

I'd say, "WTF?" but it's not really all that surprising. Not that it matters, either. Senator Obama is the nominee for the Democratic party.

The AP (via Drudge) is reporting that Obama now has the magic number of delegates, pledged and super. It is over.

 

This child is the 2nd of Palestinian twins being cared for in an Israeli hospital that has been under bombardment by....Palestinian terrorists. They've had to move their neonatal care unit to a bunker. This story sums up why Israel matters - and why terrorists must be hunted down and shot dead.

Newsweek shills for Islam and gives the US no credit for it's work to fight the terrorists that are now "on the ropes".

...their buddy Chavez now? Probably nothing. Instead, it would be all President Bush's fault.

...Speaker of the House. Perhaps.

...for life. Must be nice!

...this woman's battery died and she called police because she was...locked in her car.
