This earthquake being as strong at is was, and at that depth, was the last thing the people of Port-au-Prince needed with their existing (formally) infrastructure. I’m sending a prayer their way and wish them the best of luck in dealing with the mess and shock of it all.

Its sad to say that he probably won’t get what he truly deserves, which would be a quick boot on his $ss while he’s headed out the back door. I’ve had it up to here with these clowns trying to run the circus. Heh, and they wonder why things don’t go as planned?

It’s (Past) Time for Murtha to Resign
By: FrontPage Magazine
The surge is working; Jack Murtha shouldn’t be.

“Every public official has the right to be wrong on an issue, even forcefully wrong – and to bear the responsibility for his stand. That’s what being a “Profile in Courage” is all about. As the most publicly visible advocate of American surrender, his endorsement of the surge he derided as hopeless and opposed even as it was bearing fruit just months ago amounts to an almost total self-repudiation. His continued, full-throated defense of American withdrawal from Vietnam, Beirut, and Somalia – the three reversals that convinced Osama bin Laden he could attack the Great Satan with impunity – indicate the Congressman is not merely passionately wrong but possibly ineducable. This alone would demand for the resignation of an honorable man. The most compelling reason for John Murtha’s resignation, though, is that he is not an honorable man. Citing inside military sources, he publicly accused U.S. Marines of murdering innocent Iraqis “in cold blood.” (Unfortunately, Murtha was not referencing these informants when he said, “Look, these guys have lied to us so much, I’ve even lost confidence in the military”; he was referring to those honest enlisted men who said the surge was working.) Although all but one of the accused has been cleared of criminal charges, Murtha pointedly refused to apologize for painting American troops as pariahs, sadists, and maniacs – even as they face al-Qaeda demons who cook their opponents’ children alive”.

Yes, I know this place is a mess. Its because life is a full time job and some of the tools required still don’t have keyboards attached to them yet. That’s probably a good thing.
I sometimes wonder if my desire to learn web authoring was really such a good idea in the first place. After all, I’ve always had a tendency to make everything difficult no matter how simple it really is. No surprise there I guess. It is what it is. If its easy you’re probably not putting enough effort into it in the first place.
