they just played that whole conversation on Fox between Blair and Bush. I really loved that! Shows they are exactly like we think they are off camera, and they are telling us just what they are talking about behind the scenes and not lies.

Strange, because they usually seem to raise with the slightest excuse.

Ain't that the truth. Even at a hint of a rumor of the slightest excuse.

I turned into Lou Dobb's show for a minute...until I heard him espouse on the evacuation of our citizens from Lebanon, FINALLY! and he was going to introduce a story about why we took longer than any other country. No thanks Lou, I'm not interested in any more of your Bush bashing. Dobbs makes me ill. I know there are many here who like him, but he is over the top and rude, and I'm sure he won't even mention the evacuees that went out yesterday or the day before (the ill who were helo's out).

check out what an IDF officer just said while giving a briefing on the status of operations:

"The deputy military commander stated that while Israel does not seek a conflict with Syria, supply vehicles moving towards Hizbullah will not be permitted to pass. In addition, the air and ground blockade being maintained on Lebanon will continue."

Maybe nothing new, but it does suggest resupply efforts are being made. Question is this, if you identify the supply vehicles do you wait until they cross the border into Lebanon to attack?

If the CNN blog is the only site reporting this, it might be a confused poster. I had CNN on earlier on they were doing a piece on the the border with Zain Verjee reporting from there. I had the volume off, but it didn't look like any kind of breaking news - - just a background piece I think.

That being said. There is a connection between the two crises. And the UN resolution this weekend likely brings us as close to a second Korean War as we have been in decades.

It's 101 here and we've been cleaning out the garage today. Anything under 100 is pleasant. And yes, the dogs decided they preferred napping on the couches under the A/C to helping us.

Speaking of Gregory's looks, I would bet cash money that when he was a kid and maybe even in high school he was a guy labelled "cute." Of course, many cute people don't age well. Some cute girls end up looking like Pekingese; Gregory ended up looking like a monkey.
