What's the chance?Al-Libi was described as a senior al Qaeda leader believed to have plotted and executed attacks against U.S. and coalition forces, including a February 2007 bombing at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan during a visit by Vice President Dick Cheney.He was on a "most wanted" list of 12 accused terrorists which was issued in October by the Combined Joint Task Force-82 -- an anti-terror

Yes, it's 9/11 once again but while I don't mean to diminish the personal loss of many Americans, as a country we have lost much more in the days, months and years that have followed. We've been in a downward spiral since December of 2004 when our first stolen presidential election was legitimized by five and 9/11/2001 was merely one point of many along this destructive path.

I rarely watch the news anymore but I happened to catch the ABC news the other night when they were reporting on the minimum wage bill coming up for a vote. Diane Sawyer was anchoring and asked the reporter (I don't recall which feminine specimen it was) what she thought the chances of it passing were or something to that effect. She stated it wasn't likely because another controversial bill

It's been interesting to watch the unfolding of Connecticut's Democratic Senate primary that will come to a close as voters go to the polls tomorrow. It has been touted as anything from a bellwether on netroots and blogger influence in elections to a referendum on Bush and Iraq or nothing short of a fight for the soul of the Democratic party. I doubt I'm alone in thinking the latter was a fight

With Holy Joe's support waning and his decision to run in the general election as an Independent Democrat (if necessary for the good of the Connecticut constituency) being seen in a less than favorable light and the fact that I said the vote is certified Katherine Harris doesn't have a chance in hell Florida - Joe and the GOP have come to a meeting of the minds (it was a very short meeting).

HAMBURG, Germany (AP) -- While the vanquished Costa Ricans hung their heads in bewilderment, Ivan Kaviedes pulled a Spiderman mask from his shorts -- in Ecuador's team color of yellow, of course -- stretched it over his head and ran around like a schoolboy.If anyone deserved to celebrate, he did, after scoring two minutes into injury time and putting an exclamation point on a 3-0 victory that put

So my baby girl sent me this in an e-mail the other day and asked - did it remind me of anything?I responded that it really hadn't (affirming her belief that I never remember anything) but included this with my response.It's funny but there are fixed images in my head that come to mind whenever I think about each of my kids, images that don't change over time and have absolutely no connection

Researchers reported on Monday that drinking coffee cuts the risk of cirrhosis of the liver from alcohol -- by 22 percent per cup each day -- but they stopped short of saying doctors should prescribe coffee for that reason.At that rate my risk of cirrhosis is reduced to less than -10% ... daily.The report did not suggest alcohol users increase their coffee consumption or seek out drinks like

So it appears Rove will be free to interfere with midterm elections."On June 12, 2006, special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald formally advised us that he does not anticipate seeking charges against Karl Rove," Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, said in a statement.[my emphasis]On the other hand, I didn't anticipate a little old lady separating me from my motorcycle last summer either (I don't get how he

RAFAEL NADAL GRUNTS HIS WAY TO VICTORYRoger Federer remarked that while all the dust and grunting were distracting, the match was his to lose and he did so admirably.Commenting on his second consecutive French Open win Nadal merely said "umngaaaah, and now if you'll excuse me I need to visit the locker room - this match took a bit more out of me than usual if you get my draft".US AND IRAN: COMMON

I've had this very large project (converting old LPs to digital) which necessitated so many hours in front of the computer that I just couldn't bring myself to hang around the desktop further to make my usual blog rounds let alone post myself. The project's not complete but the end is in sight so I can afford to break away for intermittant bloggercise now.

This is tangentially related to the previous two posts. I am generally one of the last persons to update my system software -because 1) I wait for the kinks to get worked out first, 2) I don't want to tempt fate (the corollary to if it ain't broke ...) and 3) does the latest version have something I would like to have or absolutely cannot survive without.So, I sat on the sidelines content with

*So as the gaps continue to close and missing links such as the fish that didn't flop are discovered - doesn't there have to be some tipping point at which people will stop deluding themselves? Yeah, that was a rhetorical question.That's two hits in one week.

They say confession is good for the soul -so here goes ...First I have to preface the confession with a little discussion about widgets. The latest Mac OS supports the use of widgets which are small applications that come on and off of your desktop at the touch of a key (or mouse depending on your preference settings).

We'll be inundated with lovely pink and white flowers. Here in Idaho, for obvious meteorological reasons, we don't have the majestic Magnolias of the south with their impressive white blossoms but we do have a smaller species and to tell the truth I'm not sure if it's classified as a tree or a shrub.Anyway, when we planted our pair five seasons ago, the guy at the nursery tolds us that it will

So, Tom Delay's leaving office and Texas. But let's face it -the Repugnican establishment, not so much a political party as a fundamentalist religion, have many more like him waiting in the wings. Granted it might take a little effort on their part to find someone quite as vile as The Hammer but if it's one thing they've proved themselves particularly adept at ...Anyway, there is no shortage of

So, of course, I'll mention them here. I always enjoy hearing about research dollars being put to good use -evidently it's just been demonstrated that:1) "Children who spend more time watching television and movies and playing video games may be more likely to ask their parents for toys, food and drinks they saw in advertisements, according to a study in the April issue of Archives of Pediatrics
