Wow.
Obsession
And in the end, we believe lies and dis-believe truths...oh the irony.
Just ignore my philosophical rambling...
Interesting news agency. Thanks for linking.
Inn the end, when we cease to seek our own answers, we will believe anything.
New Tagline :)
I don’t know that I would call it a “news” agency.
“Inn the end, when we cease to seek our own answers, we will believe anything.”
True
” we believe lies and dis-believe truths...oh the irony “
Been spending the morning, as I do every Monday morning, watching/listening to the rerun of FNC’s Business Block — which is a weekly exercise in “disbelieving truths”.....
I take some satisfaction in the fact that my blood pressure is still capable of being raised by their head-in-the-sand, ‘nothing-could-possibly-go-wrong’, ‘let ‘em eat cake’ mantra....
(The cost-push spiral I’ve been warning of - as a voice-in-the-wilderness - became more of a reality last week with the barely reported leap of 4% in food prices. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain...)
(See, Workerbee?? I toldja that my reticence yesterday was just a temporary dry-spell... ;~) )
I don’t watch
tv but I caught that. :)
“voice-in-the-wilderness”
Someone has a blog with a title very similar to that. Lonely voice in the Wilderness or Only Voice In the Wilderness. A Lady I believe...
Scrolling through (next) back to May 14, I found it interesting that streets were mentioned and names of citizens. It appears very "local" and therefore interesting in that regard.
” Someone has a blog with a title very similar to that. “
I’m not intentionally ripping-off someone’s blog title — I was intentionally ripping-off an Old Testament reference....
;~)
Well then you’re probably fine with any copyrights :)
Oh - I see.
” Well then you’re probably fine with any copyrights :) “
In these litigious times, who really can be certain??
I agree, though, that I’m probably safe on that front....
;~)
Morning, folks.
Lebanese army shelling kills 8 in Palestinian camp 42 minutes ago
NAHR AL-BARED, Lebanon (Reuters) - At least eight civilians were killed and 20 wounded on Monday in Lebanese army shelling of a Palestinian refugee camp during fighting with Islamist militants, Palestinian sources inside the camp said.
They said the toll was certain to rise as some areas of the camp, home for some 40,000 refugees, could not be reached by rescue workers.

Good morning, Bahbah!!
Keep the news coming — I gave up on Fluff&Folly already and have my TV set to the History Channel....
(the 5-minute segment on Joey Buttafuco/Amy Fisher overcame my gag-reflex....)
Well, when there is nothing else going on in the world, what is there to talk about but Joey and Amy.
Oh, wait, there’s this.
Dozens killed in Lebanese fighting
By BASSEM MROUE, Associated Press Writer 37 minutes ago
TRIPOLI, Lebanon - Lebanese troops tightened a siege of a Palestinian refugee camp Monday where a shadowy group suspected of ties to al-Qaida was holed up, pounding the camp with artillery a day after the worst eruption of violence since the end of the country’s 1975-90 civil war.
Lebanese officials said one of the men killed in Sunday’s fighting was a suspect in a failed German train bombing — a new sign that the camp had become a refuge for militants planning attacks outside of Lebanon. In the past, others in the camp have said they were aiming to send trained fighters into
Iraq.
Saddam El-Hajdib was the fourth-highest ranking official in the
Fatah Islam group, an official said Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. El-Hajdib had been on trial in absentia in Lebanon in connection with the failed German plot.
The death toll remained uncertain as hundreds of Lebanese army troops, backed by tanks and armored carriers, surrounded the Nahr el-Bared refugee camp on Tripoli’s outskirts early Monday. M-48 battle tanks unleashed their cannon fire on the camp, sending orange flames followed by white plumes of smoke. The militants fired mortars toward the troops at daybreak Monday.
