Global Non-Warming

Another bit of information to help you to stop worrying. The global warming theory is a myth promoted by people armed more with political agendas than with scientific evidence.

Having a bad day? Look at this picture.

Wow

Someone posted a reference to an amazing story on the Command Post. Read this article about the truly heroic acts by a family of Iraqis that led to the rescue of Pfc Lynch.

Unfortunately I can see a made-for-TV movie coming out of this. These stories of courage and compassion in the face of horror and brutality deserve better than to be trivialized by the trashy Hollywood left. We need a modern Dickens or a Kipling to write about these things. Let's hope one is embedded with the troops.

Bowling for Bull

Buttafly features many fun links, including this one to a complete debunking by David Hardy of Moore's Acadamy Award winning "documentary," Bowling for Columbine. I was never able to drag myself to see the movie as I figured it would probably be full of distortions. Hardy shows that it's even worse than I had feared. It's fraudulent.

And Dave Kopel at NRO provides another excellent article detailing even more perfidy in the movie.

"In fact, the two killers ditched bowling class on the day of the murders...so the title itself is a deliberate falsehood."

Michael Moore should have been given the Academy Award for Most Truly Despicable Hollywood Personage. Surely they have that category, don't they? Look at all the actors actively competing for that distinction.

UPDATE: Courtesy of Rachael Lucas, visit this site that calls for revoking Moore's Oscar.

The Structure of Space and Time

I enjoy articles that contain little tidbits like the following:

Taken together, the independent research findings might force physicists to reexamine the scientific underpinnings of the quantum theories of gravity, time and space.

Seems the Hubble is upsetting all sorts of theoretical Newton's Apple carts. Careers, I expect, are in jeopardy. They deserve it, those physicists, most of the ones I've met are quite arrogant.

Service and Devotion

A spiritual human lives from the heart and puts the well-being of others ahead of his own. Compare the people discussed in this posting listed in Best of the Web by the WSJ Opinion Journal with the supposedly spiritual people described in this article about nuns protesting the war. Which of the two groups strikes you as more noble and spiritual? hmmmm... Didn't Jesus say, "Greater love hath no woman than she who defaces a missile silo and grandstands about it in the press?" Am I getting that quotation wrong?

And there's a bug in your hair.

Soldiers With Compassion

Here's a firsthand account of the fighting for Hindiyah. Note that the Americans risk their lives to save an old woman, while the Sadaamites use women as shields.

And here's a different report of a heroic trek to deliver important supplies. These embedded reporter articles are providing about the only worthwhile hard news stories coming out of the war. Otherwise the news services are giving us the "Generic War Update" (see below) sort of non-stories.

Generic War Update

Massive explosions rocked Baghdad. Coalition forces engaged in fierce firefights with Saddam Hussein's elite Republican Guards. Waves of coalition warplanes hit targets throughout Iraq.

Did the US Arm Sadaam?

Anti-war sophists often assert that it was the USA who armed Sadaam in the first place. But looky here at this.

An essay that places the current war in historical perspective. That may sound boring, but how many historical essays have you read that bring tears to your eyes? Just read it.
