Merits a read
This story about a carjacking in North Cobb is quite worth the read.
When I just ran the spell check the Blogger software wanted to replace “carjacking” with “churchgoing”.

Got the laptop case
Oddly enough, I got the laptop case today. Still no word on when the new Dell will ship.

Emo Reporting
The current trend of newscasters morphing into viewer advocates is shameful to behold. Instapundit put it very well in his latest MSNBC column.

Sheehan gets weirder
From her blog on the Huffington post
if a human being is hungry, then it is up to another human being to feed him/her. George Bush needs to stop talking, admit the mistakes of his all around failed administration, pull our troops out of occupied New Orleans and Iraq, and excuse his self from power.
Pull out of New Orleans? How would we feed the hungry there? The conspiracy theories of New Orleans have gotten downright incoherent.

Prediction
Bush will nominate Janice Rogers Brown to take over the Sandra Day O’Connor slot. Three names must replace 3 names. Also she’s a black woman, and pleasantly libertarian as well.
You heard it here first. I also think she will be announced right after Roberts is confirmed.

A pleasant surprise
For no particular reason I happened upon on the Tracy Chapman on the Tavis Smiley Show. I barely remember any of her songs, but I recall not liking any of them in particular (too earnest). So I was pleasantly surprised by her performance on the TS show. It was polished, refined and overall a very fine performance.
What struck me most was the difference her guitar made. I’ve been accustomed to hearing dreadnoughts for so long that the sound of a regular OM (I think) was striking, particularly since she did not belt out the song (she sang at a fairly moderate intensity). Now I really want to get an OM model as a third guitar, but I probably won’t.

Observation about Clinton
I saw Clinton (Bill) on This Week yesterday. Stephanopolous was giving one of his usual sympathetic interview to his old boss. Clinton said nothing surprising, the only memorable quote was that “we should not allow the enterprise in Iraq to fail”.
The amazing thing though was his ability to turn every question into a discussion revolving around himself. Be it the Tsunami, Katrina, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc, it all soon became “What I would do” in such and such situation. Every single topic. Amazing.

Statement of no progress
The Erie PA pizza bomb case remains unsolved with no leads. It’s good people are still paying attention to it. My original post about it was here.

Ouch
So, I finally fell off the bike. I forgot I was clipped in after I came to a stop and wound up jamming my arm a bit. Hopefully it will be better tomorrow.

Hookers for the handicapped
No, really it’s true. Be glad you don’t pay taxes in Denmark.
The Danish government is under attack for paying for its disabled citizens to have sex with prostitutes.
The official ‘Sex, irrespective of disability’ campaign pays sex workers to provide sex once a month for disabled people.
The legal guidelines advise: “It could be of great importance that the carer speaks to the prostitute together with the person in their care, to help them express their wishes.”
