Tonight we get our real tree and will put it up tomorrow. My daughter is going to help, as I am not too keen on going up and down the stepladder any more (bad knee).
Well, today is when Sharpton is supposed to meet with Racicot, I think. That should be interesting.
Also, I sw the pictures of IRAN's nuclear installations on a thread last night. Not good.
You will be surprised at how much running you have to do for the school, I'll bet. I am looking forward to a report.
AMERICA’S WAR ON TERROR – Day 459
The news as reported in The Washington Times:
[Note – All links go to The Washington Times’ website.]
1. President Bush signed an Executive Order allowing religious institutions more access to Federal funds for their programs. Liberals decried the action, saying the President is circumventing the will of the Congress.
[Some of the hyperbole coming out of the left on this is positively fun to watch. Rep. Nadler saying we should be very afraid of what the President has done, for example.]
Bush rolls back 'secular' rules
2. President Bush sharply dressed down Senator Lott yesterday. The Criminal Party says it was “too little, too late.”
[They would have said that had the President made a two-hour speech moments after the words left Senator Lott’s mouth. Their rhetoric rings hollow, because the question remains – when will Senator Daschle rebuke Senator Byrd for his membership in the KKK?]
3. Gov-elect Ehrlich has stated he will introduce legislation to establish a Project Exile crime program, allow for charter schools, and enable opportunities for faith-based funding.
[This ought to be very interesting. A conservative (by Maryland standards) governor versus a liberal (even by Maryland standards) legislature. Let the games begin!]
Faith-based funding a top Ehrlich goal
4. North Korea announced it will bring a small plutonium reactor back on line, and build two new and bigger ones.
[Oh, wonderful.]
North Korea to restart nuke reactor
5. The smallpox vaccine debate contrasts those who argue it is needed for National defense versus those who are worried about the side effects of inoculation.
[Ok, let me see. If we inoculate 1,000,000 people, reports say the odds are 2 people will die. If we don’t inoculate those 1,000,000 people and they all contract smallpox, reports say 333,333 will die, and another 333,333 will become disfigured and suffer life debilitating consequences. How can there be a debate on this? The anti-inoculation crowd would actually suggest that people die in a bio-terror attack when it can be avoided?]
Smallpox vaccinations pit safety against risks
6. The District is mulling over the idea of using video cameras to aid in watching neighborhoods.
[The protections the proposed law offers would seem to make it all right. For example, automated recognition techniques would not be allowed. So, essentially, this just becomes an electronic extension of the policeman’s eyes into the public areas of a neighborhood.]
Cameras mulled for neighborhood watch
7. PBS will show a documentary of the life of Muhammad in an attempt to dispel negative images about Islam.
[That won’t help. What will help is the good folks in the Moslem community working hard and publicly to renounce and remove the evil elements in their midst.]
PBS show to 'counter' perceptions of Islam
We shall not rest until we have cut a swath 60-miles wide through the entire left - taking all that is before us with us as we go. We shall leave nothing to the enemy that may be of value to him. We shall show him that he may count on nothing and will be able to keep nothing, not his spirit, not his soul, not that upon which he shall feed. We shall not cease until the moment we have rent through their entire land and have arrived at the sea, with our glorious victory upon us.
