Ralph Peters presents a very strong opinion on Saudi Arabia’s role in international terrorism. A thought provoking look at international affairs most Americans aren’t exposed to. (This link requires a free registration.) He has an earlier column urging America to abandon its, now bankrupt, worship of stability in favor of long-term plans for instability favorable to U.S. interests.

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist – Easily the most bizarre trailer I’ve seen in the last few months. I love how the dubbing is done, though.

I guess now that it’s an “economic security” plan instead of a economic stimulus package, we can look forward to people being labeled as un-American for not supporting it.

Conversation with my brother a few minutes ago….

my_brother: Hey man. Just now loading your pics. And I got a new bed for my room, no more 90deg water bed.
me: Oh yeah? How’d that happen?
my_brother: Well, I don’t know if it happens to you, but when I laid on the water bed, I could get the spot under my ass to touch the bottom of the bed. . .
my_brother: So last night as I’m sleeping, I guess I had done that, and once the top of the mattress was pressed against the bottom of the mattress with no water in between. . .
my_brother: It melted.
me: lol. Hmm….a little wet in the morning?
my_brother: It melted the bottom of the mattress to the liner, and then melted a hole through the top, leaking probably a gallon or two before I woke up.
my_brother: Yeah, it was a little freaky.
my_brother: I did a self-check first, and realized two things:
my_brother: 1) I still had to pee
my_brother: 2) Way too much water for anything smaller than a water buffalo.
my_brother: So we’ve got a mattress sitting on the boxed drawers.
me: lmao. I’m fighting the urge to cut and paste this into my webpage. ;-)
my_brother: Hahaha, feel free, it is a pretty funny story.
