Israel attacked Syria and it would've never made the news if not for the Turks finding some F-15 drop tanks in their desert.
The big question is what did the Israelis hit?
Snippets of stories are coming out and rumors abound. I'll put my money on nukes. WMD's from North Korea, who now conveniently want to disarm.
Heard on either Fox or CNN today that the weapons were marked "cement" and the Israelis tracked the shipment from North Korea to Syria. Then they blew them up.
Syria is being rather quiet on the issue. Shouldn't they be dragging a "Baby Milk Factory" or such in front of the cameras and decrying loudly for the U.N. to condemn Israel?
President Bush held a news conference today saying that the White House had advanced knowledge of the air strike and approved of it. Beyond that the press got a big fat "No Comment".
The Democrats should be screaming any minute and won't wake up to the threat until one of our cities evaporates.
Russia has been flying "Routine Patrols" off of our shores and those of our NATO allies. In the light of the Israeli response, could they have been tipped off too and are hedging their bet?
The silence is deafening.

Kid Nation
Okay, first a little honesty. I've been hearing about this show on talk radio for a while now and none of it has been good. Stories of pushy producers and absent parents. What parent would sign a waiver that said they could not sue the show if their kid caught a STD? The oldest kid is 15, the youngest is eight.
But I watched the show's premiere nonetheless.
The Premise is that about forty kids are packed off to a ghost town and left (more or less) to fend for themselves. They cook the food. They empty the shitters. Oh wait... THE shitter. The show cooks off like Kiddy Survivor.
As I watched the show, skeptical at first, I found it totally engrossing. If you're a parent, you'll be hooked. It let's you explore the "What would they do without me" question that has been milling around in your head.
As they get organized, the producers introduce a class system. Workers at the bottom, then cooks, then merchants. The Ruling class (with the most money and no jobs) are at the top of the food chain. They are to "Pitch in " where they can or want to.
Yes they get paid. Ruling class gets a buck a day. The workers a nickle.
They can spend their money in the grocery store, or dry goods. There is a soda saloon to get a tall cool one. They can buy tools and candy and books. A ten year old got a nickel copy of King Lear.
A 15 year old girl spotted a bicycle in the dry goods store. She's a worker and it's $3.00 price tag seemed high. But she wanted the bike. Soooo... free enterprise kicked in on the second day and she took it to the streets.
Dancing.
She asked for a nickel if you wanted to watch her dance. I think she charged ten cents for dance lessons.
She was riding the bike before sundown.
I'll be watching next week and rooting for the "Yellow District". They are the youngest of the four groups, ages eight to ten. They beat the Greens ass to become the "cooks" and not the workers. I think my heart is with them because my daughter is seven.
In a surprising move of maturity and practicality, they voted to select more outhouses over a T.V. for their prize.
Oh yeah, one more thing. Each week the "Ruling Council" will choose a "Star Pioneer" from among the group. The chosen kid gets $20,000 and a phone call home.
Do I have your attention yet?

O.J. Simpson Arrested in Las Vegas
Well who'd a thunk? Apparently, The Juice robbed a couple of memorabilia sellers in their hotel room of the Palace Station Casino, right here in good ol' Las Vegas. Here comes the good part...at gun point.
The facts as of yet are that Simpson accompanied by two men wheeling pistols went into the hotel room and forced the occupants to give them some of Simpson's stuff. Simpson was quoted as saying that he was "Doing his own sting operation" to recover items "for his children".
What items you say? Various items that Simpson was ordered to hand over as part of the settlement of his wrongful death civil suit. Including the suit he was wearing when he was found "Not Guilty" in the double murder trail.
Casino video has purportedly caught the robbers in the hotel hallway still brandishing the firearms and trying to carry all the stuff.
Simpson was questioned earlier and released and then was arrested Sunday. No bail was set.
Oh Boy! The Karma is finally going to hit the fan.
Buy the Fuhrman bumper sticker.

9/11 and Osama Bin Laden
I pondered about how to mark September 11th seeing as it's our generation's Pearl Harbor. Didn't want to get too heavy so what better way to mark the occasion than to rag OBL.
Have you decided whether or not the latest video is fake or not? This site gives you food for thought.

Arrested at Circuit City
I stumbled upon an interesting story by Micheal Righi and his being arrested for not showing his receipt to a Circuit City employee. That was rather truncated and he tells his story much better than I so feel free to read it here.
The point to all of this is that there seems to be steamroller in this country in which people are placed in situations where they give away their personal, legal rights. Mike did a good job of insisting on his while continuing to been a law abiding citizen.
I don't know if I could have held up in the same situation. That's the point I'm making, citizen's should have to defend their rights against the State, the State should be defending them.
Think about that the next time you here you local, state and federally elected officials propose or pass a "new" law.
