The crescent moon with the hazy outline still showing behind the dark portion was indeed gorgeous. When I see this shape now though I get the creeps.
morning everyone
Good morning, here we are again. ;-)
First of all, there are no failures, only distractions. The anti war , anti americans only wish thewe were actual failures.
Or dead.
I think he is going to hold the position open until the last minute, for her to step in and take over.
After CFR kicks in and no one can run ads against her...
As you say.
We can dream.
Gov. Sonny Perdue has declared a state of emergency in six Georgia coastal counties beginning Monday as a security precaution for the G-8 summit.
Citing, among other reasons, the "potential danger to the persons and property of this state from unlawful assemblages, threats of violence and otherwise," the executive order creates a unified public safety command for the summit, set to take place June 8-10 on Sea Island.
The order, signed by Perdue on May 7, does not provide additional money or change criminal laws in Chatham, Bryan, Liberty, McIntosh, Glynn and Camden counties.
But the action, which could last through June 20, will align the Georgia Army National Guard, state law enforcement and public health agencies under one office, potentially reducing the response time in the event of terrorist strikes or disruptive protests, said Harold Melton, Perdue's executive counsel.
The last time a governor used such an order was during the 1996 Olympics, he said.
G-8 protesters said declaring a state of emergency was an overreaction and would not stop demonstrators from exercising their rights.
"I don't care if it goes to martial law," said William Pleasant, who's planning a protest in Savannah's Forsyth Park. "This is still a constitutional democracy. My friends and I will write and speak and perform."

Igniters `key to truck bomb'
MODEL rocket igniters found in the Perth home of an Islamic convert accused of planning to blow up Canberra's Israeli embassy could have been used to set off a truck bomb.

First G-8 Protest Planned Outside Kings Bay
POSTED: 3:29 pm EDT May 13, 2004
KINGSLAND, Ga. -- In what may be the first of many protests surrounding the G-8 Summit of world leaders to be held at Sea Island, Ga., from June 8 to 10, a Florida group is planning to protest outside Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay the week before.
The Florida Coalition for Peace and Justice has told Camden County officials it will camp out for two nights and stage a peaceful protest outside the base on Wednesday, June 2.
According to the group's Web site, they advocate peaceful means to social change.
"We denounce the use of violence, whether committed by individuals or nation states" the site reads. "We recognize that violence feeds violence."
The group has staged previous peaceful protests outside the submarine base.

"Thanks, seems strange to steal a fire truck, would be difficult to hide."
Stealing Fire trucks and other emergency vehicles would fit very well into their plan to cause panic and mayhem.
As fire trucks arrive at an emergency, the stolen one could infiltrate and be detonated to take out emergency responders.
At your link, on the right is a link to "Naval Base Locked Down".
in it, the briefcase is what alerted the dogs.
The earlier story said "the truck cab".
We think we are jumping at shadows.
But at the Navy Base, a dog went to 'alert mode' and the base was locked down for 3 hours.
Or used in a parade and exploded.
Will also work for hauling lots of items, or moving explosives.
People follow fire trucks, often causing real traffic jams.
But even I look to see where the fire truck went.
