Down at Texas A&M, the Aggies have cloned a deer! This comes just as I was thinking my children might never know the joy of having a deer run out in front of them on highway!

If you have ever wanted to know, once and for all, how Google works, here is the answer.

Saddam Hussein has been captured and he is cooperating!

This is a good follow-up to the VX False alarm in the Far North Haute earlier this week.

I just finished reading this. The ban of political speech is a very important issue. However, it takes a special kind of nerd to read this kind of document, so I will not recommend it for everyone. I will post a quote:

The premise of the First Amendment is that the American people are neither sheep nor fools, and hence fully capable of considering both the substance of the speech presented to them and its proximate and ultimate source. If that premise is wrong, our democracy has a much greater problem to overcome than merely the influence of amassed wealth. Given the premises of democracy, there is no such thing as too much speech.

Someone at the Vermillion County Emergency Operation Center set off the alarms indicating that VX had spilled at the Newport Chemical Depot. It turned out to be a false alarm. I think it is safe to assume it was a South Vermillion graduate, damn southenders.

Do you feel like you are still living in the same America that you were just a day ago? Well God help you if you try to say you don?t think so, because the courts will not be any help. The Supreme Court ruled today that Congress can restrict political speech. The exact thing the First Amendment is supposed to protect.

If you wait long enough a charity will send you address labels. I have lived at my new place for only 3 months and yesterday I received a pack of labels from the VFW. I can not afford to donate to them, but I can provide them with a little advertisement.

There where anti-terrorist, pro-Iraq rallies today in Iraq. Healing Iraq has a good report and pictures of the event.
