Bits and pieces 5-3-11

Sunshine this PM. The yard is so wet you can't walk in the rear but I managed to pick up some more small limbs and get the chain saw ready for tomorrow.

The onions, cabbages and bell peppers look fine and, believe it or not, some of the replanted cucumbers and squash are coming up.

Don't ask when the remainder will get done. Maybe a week if we don't get more rain.

More on waterboarding works.

Rep King of NY said last night that waterboarding of KSM yielded the first nugget of information that led us to Osama bin Ladin.

The Left has its jockey's in a wad. They are totally invested in "waterboarding is torture and doesn't work."

Well, the WaPost agreed today with King, except they described it as rough interrogation, or similar words. Tonight O'Reilly said that King was 100% right.

I'm going with King and O'Reilly.

1975 climatologistas blamed tornadoes on global cooling...

Frankly I think it was Nixon's fault.

Speaking of global cooling, can you read this chart??

It shows us getting cooler...

Gasoline is around $4.00 and the economy is going to hell if any GD politician out there gives a damn.

"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them." - Karl Popper

“Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants. It is the creed of slaves.” - William Pitt

"Logic. There is little logic among the cultural elite, maybe because there is little omnipresent fear of job losses or the absence of money, and so arises a rather comfortable margin to indulge in nonsense." - Victor Davis Hanson

Obama and OBL

You know, there is no evidence whatsoever that Obama made the capture/killing of OBL a priority of his administration. Indeed he wanted to close GITMO and prosecute CIA members who had waterboarded some of the prisoners to obtain the information that helped lead to OBL's killing.

Watching the Democrats and many others on the Left celebrate that Obama actually signed off on the killing of OBL reminds me of a Little League player's Mom jump up and down and yell after he has hit his first ball during an actual game.

The following picture, which I have taken from MostlyCajun says it all.

Now, this inning is over with. Can we please get back to focusing on the fact that the high price of oil is hurting us even more than OBL did sitting in his mansion disconnected from the world?
