Well, that only lasted a few weeks … Obama, March 8: “Over the next month or so,” Obama said, “we’re going to be able to determine whether or not their system is able to accept what would be an extraordinarily reasonable deal, if, in fact, as they say, they are only interested in peaceful nuclear programs. And if we have unprecedented transparency in that system, if we are able to

Obama hates Israel … but it gets worse [Darleen Click]
Obama’s DoD is passing information on Israel’s nuclear program to Iran. Our peevish, petulant, and impetuous President has struck again: In a development that has largely been missed by mainstream media, the Pentagon early last month quietly declassified a Department of Defense top-secret document detailing Israel’s nuclear program, a highly covert topic that Israel has never formally announced to avoid a regional nuclear arms race, and which the US until

Feds to the states: Accept our religion or be punished [Darleen Click]
All shall swear fealty to Mother Gaia and repent of how they have caused Her fever … The Obama administration has issued new guidelines that could make it harder for governors who deny climate change to obtain federal disaster-preparedness funds.

Vhlonn Needs Water [fiction by McGehee]
The title kind of gives it away, but it’s not like I’m charging anybody for it. “Everyone knows Beh Yeh has more water than Vhlonn, but it’s 70 million tsigura away. We can’t get there.” Strif sighed. “Gevir’k, we would only need to send one spacecraft, fill it with water, and bring it back, and the Water Laws would be irrelevant.” “Long before you got back, everyone who worked

As promised: video! Satchel wrestles for Colorado Top Team at yesterday’s Eaton tournament
Finally updated our phones, which freed up space to record video again. Satch finished yesterday 4-1 with 3 pins and a decision, losing his sole match to the first place finisher, who is far heavier than he, and was able to overpower him. We’re at the point now where Satchel is having trouble matching the pure arm strength of the bigger kids, so this summer we’ll be working on getting
