Right wing, badda bing!

For those of you that might have missed the most crazy random headline of the past week, on Monday, August 22, The Rev. Pat Robertson , one-time presidential candidate and full-time zealous maniac made the following remark referring to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez: "You know, I don't know about this doctrine of assassination, but if he thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war, and I don't think any oil shipments will stop." He continued: "We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability." - - Take him out? Has America's favorite uber "Christian", who has blamed 9/11 on the ACLU (among others), been watching "The Sopranos" and conveniently forgotten one of the most important Ten Commandments? The ridiculous and hypocritical nature of this statement is newsworthy, but not the first...

Here we go again

It's hard to believe the Gulf Coast is being threatened so soon. Is Mother Nature angry with us? I wonder if there will be an end to this long line of furious hurricanes or if the Gulf Coast will eventually be completely wiped out. Is this really the end result of global warming? I wonder if the government can afford to build houses and buildings can be built strong enough to withstand 165 winds because that sure seems like where we are headed. Once again, the newsroom was buzzing tonight with news of Hurriance Rita. A large part of South Florida has been evacuated and when this storm heads in the Gulf, the warm waters are likely to create the same situation as Katrina by turning a category 2 or 3 into a 4 or 5. Predictors say there is a chance this hurricane could hit New Orleans again which sure is making Ray Nagin again look stupid as he he went against the feds by encouraging residents to come back into the city to have to turn around and tell them to evacuate again. Here's...

Little hero

I know I need to stop looking, listening and over absorbing myself in the news from the Gulf Coast, but it sure is hard to relax when you know that people so close by are suffering and possibly dying. I'm glad the news has some small stories of hope to report like people and animals being rescued and attended to. Last night, in our much tamer version of the storm, a beautiful small pigeon got confused (with the barometric pressure drop I guess) and flew right into our glass front door. She was stunned, but not badly hurt from what I observed. K and I made her a little nest in a drink cooler with towels and bird seed and she stayed there all night and was gone by morning. I wish I could reach out to others in need right now like we did that pigeon last night. All I can hope and pray for is that the Red Cross and National Guard can take care of the many hundreds of people and animals that need so much help right now. I wish there was more we could do because it seems like those of us...
