Mouse cesarean? March 31, 2006

How on earth did someone get to this blog by searching the term "mouse cesarean"????

Now I know that in this post, discussing injecting human stem cells into an animal embryo, the term was used in the commentary.

But why, oh why, is someone googling mouse cesareans? 

I guess if Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes can reproduce, and Jessica Simpson can adopt a child (please, somebody stop her!  I have visions of her carrying it around in a Louis Vuitton dog carrier – just another accessory for the hopelessly clueless who have more money than brains), then maybe Mickey & Minnie are out there doing their part for mousedom.

Get those pens out! March 4, 2006

 From A Soldier’s Perspective:

Letter Writing Request

Blogged in Military Perspective by CJ Friday March 3, 2006

 

Army SGT Rickey Jones, 21, of Kokomo, Ind; killed Feb. 22 when an improvised explosive device detonated near his Humvee during patrol operations in Hawijah, Iraq 

I am trying to help organize a letter writing campaign to the family of SGT Rickey Jones. As you may have read earlier, their home was vandalized by idiots who wouldn’t understand patriotism if it flew a plane through their bedroom window.

If you own a blog, please post this effort on your respective blogs and ask your readers to post it on their blogs. If you are as disgusted as I am and would like to write a letter to have delivered to this family, please email Lauren (MyWay716@aol.com) for more information. The good people over at Operation Military Pride are helping facilitate the delivery of these letters.

This family recently lost a son and shouldn’t have to deal with people like Fred Phelps and the people responsible for the egging of their home and irreverent phone calls. If you feel the same way I do, please email her and write this family a letter of support and love. Let them know that we appreciate their son’s service and mourn their loss. Let’s show them what America is really made of. This isn’t about whether or not you support the war. This is about common decency for a family that has suffered the ultimate sacrifice…having to bury a child. Thank you in advance. When this is over, I want the post office to have to hire new postmen just to handle the volume. Yes, it’s a challenge, as LinkedinUSAF would say.

Please, please, please – if you can spare a moment to drop this family a note of support, do so.  I can’t imagine the pain of losing a child, much less to have to deal with vandalism and harrassment on top of that.

Some funny stuff… March 3, 2006

From Newsbusters.org: Ginsburg Falls Asleep: Media Pretend Not to Notice

It’s a question that has been asked many times: If Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fell asleep during a case, would the media notice? The answer, apparently, is no. On March 1, the Supreme Court heard arguments on the constitutionality of a Texas redistricting plan. One only has to look at the accompanying graphic to see how exciting Justice Ginsburg found the case.  Read the rest.

From Plancks Constant: How the world looks when you’ve created nothing: Islam

The dinocrat poses the question,”How does the modern world look when you have done nothing to help create it, and innovation is a threat to cherished beliefs?” The blog points out that America patents hundreds of thousands of inventions a year whereas the entire Muslim world has only a handful in its entire history. Read the rest.

From One Cosmos: Cultural Sensitivity 101

… I’ve assembled a list of “wise old Islamic sayings” from the book that I think are particularly relevant to our discussion. These are almost “cliches” in the Muslim world, but they are probably new to you:

Sticks and stones will break your bones if your words should ever humiliate me.

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try to blame the Jews.

Fool me once, death to you. Fool me twice? I don’t think so.

Cindy Sheehan Wants The Troops To Die, Just Won’t Be Protesting

In the frenzy and excitement of my trip to France and Germany, some well meaning pacifists in the area have scheduled me to set up a Camp Casey outside of Landsthul, Germany, in front of the military hospital. I won’t agree to do that.

The Camp Casey movement is pro-peace and pro-soldier. We love our troops so much that we want them to come home alive from the fiasco in the Middle East.

Camp Caseys have been set up all over the USA and the world and they are set up in front of the seats of power. The politicians and the war machine got us into this war, our soldiers are trying to protect each other and do the best that they can do under horrifically difficult circumstances.

The Camp Casey in Germany could be moved to a place where people with decision making power can see it. The soldiers have very little to say in their fates after they enlist (which is an entirely different subject) but especially the ones who have already been wounded in the service of their country…no matter how evil and greed-serving the phony mission is.

Let’s see now, Cindy – Evil?  Greed serving?  Phony?  Awww, you’ve been looking in the mirror again, haven’t you?
