Just say "no" to the Law of the Sea Treaty

Today on the Hugh Hewitt radio show, Frank Gaffney was talking about the moves that are afoot in the Senate and with the Bush adminstration to revive the Law of the Sea Treaty. This thing HAS TO BE stopped. It is a horrible attempt to steal away national sovereignty and give it to unaccountable globalists. Unlike the wack-jobs who think that there is an effort to unite the U.S., Mexico, and Canada- this Law of the Sea Treaty is for real and is a real threat. If it were approved by the Senate and the President, it would also be a horrible precedent for Outer Space Law since it does away with private property rights. It HAS TO BE stopped.

are the NBC Sports people out of their minds?

I wasn't watching NBC's Sunday Night Football last night, but on the talk shows today I heard that they gave Keith Olberman a spot. OK, the guy used to be on ESPN, he can have some sports commentary I guess, but noooo he didn't talk about sports. He ripped into Rush Limbaugh (taking him completely out of context by the way)! Are the NBC Sports people out of their minds? People tune into Sunday Night Football to see a football came or to hear analysis about football, not political commentary- especially not from a raving lunatic like Olberman (for grins check out Mark Levin's compilation of Olberman's nuttiness here).

the loathsome Michael Vick

In the locker room at the gym today they had ESPN on and they were talking about the Michael Vick situation. Boy, what a bunch of idiots they had on the air. They were talking about how Vick had "found Jesus" and how he could come back to play football. What crap! Vick is only sorry that he got caught. He should never play football again. I think he should be thrown in the water and a live toaster thrown in after him so he could feel what he put those poor dogs through.

Looks like the rovers made it!

I've been on the road and haven't blogged in awhile. In the past few weeks though the Mars dust storm has been subsiding there is still a lot of dust in the atmosphere so the atmospheric opacity is still high and Spirit and Opportunity aren't getting as much solar energy as would be optimal, but it looks like they are "out of the woods" (so to speak). Also, some recent good news is that Opportunity has had "dust cleaning event" some big wind blew some of the dust off of the solar panels so it is getting more power even with the high "tau" (atmospheric opacity). Woo hoo! Hopefully that rover will be able to begin its exploration of the inner rim of Victoria Crater before too long.

best line from today's Republican Pres. debate

I didn't even know that there was supposed to be a Republican Presidential debate today, but I turned on the ABC "This Week" show this morning and there it was. I am definitely a Rudy Giuliani supporter, but I must say that Mitt Romney had the best line in the debate when he noted that Barak Obama had gone from saying he'd meet with our biggest enemies without pre-conditions to saying we should invade Pakistan and Romney said: "He's gone from being Jane Fonda to Dr. Strangelove all within a week." That was awesome.
