The Turtle Sinks

Note: This article does not concern the Revolutionary War submarine the Turtle although that does make quite a story. The media has reported that thirty(30) Kemp's Ridley sea turtles have washed ashore and eighteen(18) have sadly perished. This carnage has been brought about by a cold snap unprecedented since temperature figures have been collected. On the morning news, a much ballyhooed program for Broadway to go green at the prompting of Mayor Bloomberg was announced to combat global "warming". Once again, not man made climate change which may not be occurring but warming which is certainly not happening. How many times must we hear the sky is falling nonsense before we say enough and stop forfeiting our freedoms? Why are we allowing so dubious a premise as man-made global warming to dominate our national policy? Rev your engines, use your incandescent bulbs, and save the turtles.

Justice Just Miscarried

The jihadi proclaims a quest for justice. The justice delayed is justice denied crowd never met a murderer they did not have sympathy for, and real justice is about as rare as a unicorn. Over the weekend, Iran was reported to have hanged an Israeli spy. They even had a so-called confession video where he admonishes others not to follow his path. His name was Ali Ashtari and he was a Jewish husband and father. Isn't it amazing what torture can cause a person to confess? This happens while Israel continues to pay a real spy-Asmi Bishara, a former Israeli-Arab member of the Knesset from the Balad party who gave state secrets to Hizbullah, his pension. The American left has questioned whether Bush will pardon Cheney. Bush should have his pardon pen in hand alright. He should pardon Agents Ramos and Compean forthwith. He should open the gates for David Olofson-the overused sear pin victim incarcerated for his accidental automatic. Bush freed Scooter Libby which was appropriate as Libby was caught in a process crime trap by an overburdened memory. Bill Clinton on the other hand deliberately lied about a dalliance, but let's move on about that. WCBS reported that the homeless in New York City could not use twenty-two(22) churches for shelter because they were only open to them five days a week. This is murder (vagrants will die of exposure), a violation of the separation of church and state, and the ancient concept of sanctuary. The indispensable man Bloomberg-enemy of trans fat, salt, and tobacco, grants himself a third term against existing term limits and oh so wise New Yorkers say "Save us-Oh mighty Bloomberg." Only a rube or wet behind the ears innocent seeks perfect equity and only God finds it.
