Personally, I find it satisfying that those from the Fred Phelps Westboro unChristian hate cult (I refuse to refer to them as “Baptist” because they are not Baptist and they have clearly perverted Jesus’ teachings and twisted Biblical scripture to support their hatred) are now being actively opposed by family, friends and fellow military members. Stop The ACLU has video online of their cowardly hasty retreat at the hands of those attending the funeral of a soldier who died in Iraq. I predict things will only get worse for those representing Phelps’ cult protesting future funerals. However they will have to eventually answer directly to Jesus at some point as to why they (Phelps and his cult) chose hatred over love.
What’s even more insane and clearly unChristian is that the Westboro cultists plan to protest the funerals Friday and Saturday of children killed in the tragic bus accident in Alabama on Monday. I believe Phelps and his followers follow something more satanic in their hatred rather than God’s love. I pray for them. A press release from the Patriot Guard, an organization devoted to drown out and pretty much destroy any effectiveness of Phelps’ cult’s protests can be found here.

November 30th arrived and hurricane season is now officially over for the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico regions. The 2006 hurricane season didn’t live up to the experts’ dire predictions and that’s a very, very good thing. They are crediting the el nino effect for keeping the number of storms so low. However that is no reason for complacency for the 2007 season. We are in a active period that will most likely last more than 20 years.

Captain Ed at the Captain’s Quarters blog has written an excellent article on the continuing corruption ongoing within the U.N. with emphasis on the latest rounds of rapes by U.N. peacekeeping forces. It’s disgusting how the organization has deteriorated under the leadership of Kofi “How Can I Profit Via Oil-For-Food” Annan. Can any new leadership clean up the U.N.? Is it even worth it anymore? In my opinion the U.N. no longer serves any useful purpose and at the very least, should be removed from United States soil to be relocated to Switzerland.

I believe I’ve mentioned it on my blog, but in case you missed it, I suffer periodically from insomnia. On some occassions when my insomnia kicks in I take over-the-counter sleeping pills. One brand I recently tried and found works well for me is Simply Sleep. I tend to be a good and responsible consumer and read the instructions fairly throroughly. However on the label from Simply Sleep the following is found:
GEE, YA THINK SO?!?
I would HOPE the product would make me drowsy. That IS a component of getting to sleep, isn’t it? Yeah, it’s a silly warning, but you know some mentally-deficient yahoo probably filed a lawsuit thinking it WOULDN’T make him drowsy as he drove home. Or something equally as foolish.
Silly disclaimers and warnings are abundant on products nowadays. Most likely due to lawsuits and threatened lawsuits.

Michael Irvin Can Make Racially Stereotypical Statements And Get Away With It?
Debbie Schlussel has written an excellent piece on the racial double standard that exists specifically in television broadcasting. Well worth the read and ironic since the Michael Richards incident. There can never be any racial harmony until such double standards are utterly and completely eliminated and frankly I don’t see it happening in my lifetime if ever.

I found the following over at The Crazy Rants Of Samantha Burns who found it at Diane’s Stuff, who got it from Skye’s who got it from Renaissance Blogger.

01. Bought everyone in the bar a drink

16. Walked the stairs to the top of the leaning Tower of Pisa 17. Grown and eaten your own vegetables [Long time ago when I was a kid. My brother and I planted some veggies in Momma's garden and got some good food out of it.]

20. Changed a baby’s diaper
21. Taken a trip in a hot air balloon 22. Watched a meteor shower [Saw the Leonid meteor shower with my wife out in the countryside several years ago. Great experience.] 23. Gotten drunk on champagne [Well, more tipsy rather than out-and-out drunk. I've never been much of a drinker and now am unable to drink any alcohol at all.] 24. Given more than you can afford to charity [Couldn't help myself the times I did it. But God got us through each time.] 25. Looked up at the night sky through a telescope [Saw Halley's comet (more like fuzzball than comet) while I was in college. Not impressed.]

28. Bet on a winning horse
29. Asked out a stranger 30. Had a snowball fight [A nice college memory. Also when I was a wee kid, too. A fond memory with my Daddy.] 31. Screamed as loudly as you possibly can [I spilled some scalding hot liquid on my bare chest as I got it out of the microwave. Hurt like hell and I screamed briefly at the highest pitch possible.

32. Held a lamb 33. Seen a total eclipse [A solar eclipse during the summer I attended Jones County Junior College. All classes went outside to have a looksy.] 34. Ridden a roller coaster [Ahhh...I love old-fashioned wooden coasters. The Starliner at the Miracle Strip Amusement Park in Panama City Beach, Florida was my first. Alas, the park is no longer there but the coaster will live on. It was disassembled and will soon be reassembled at Cypress Gardens in Florida.] 35. Hit a home run [Only once when I played city league baseball. I was a good hitter, but for some reason never seemed able to hit the long ball.]

51. Visited Ireland
52. Been heartbroken longer than you were actually in love 53. In a restaurant, sat at a stranger’s table and had a meal with them [Two scenarios where that had to be done. First, there used to be a restaurant in Mendenhall, Mississippi called The Revolving Tables Restaurant which had these huge circular tables with a large lazy-suzan on top which the staff kept filled with good country cookin'. You served yourself at the table but the tables were so large you shared them with other guests. The restaurant was the first in the U.S. to serve meals buffet-style and on lazy-susans. Many restaurants have copied the idea, but it originated with the The Revolving Tables Restaurant in Mendenhall, Mississippi. Each of their tables seats about a dozen patrons. Sadly, the place closed several years ago after being in business for over 85 years. The other scenario routinely took place while I attended Florida State University. At the time they had only one cafeteria for the 65,000+ students who attended. The cafeteria only seats about 250 and was only open certain times of the day. You do the math. It was always over crowded well past the point of fire codes and you always shared a table with strangers if you didn't want to eat standing up.]
54. Visited Japan
55. Milked a cow
56. Alphabetized your CDs 57. Pretended to be a superhero [When I was a little kid, I pretended to be Spiderman in my red-and-blue pj's. My brother had blue pj's so he was Batman. We had good imaginations.]

61. Gone scuba diving 62. Kissed in the rain [Kissed my wife in the rain.] 63. Played in the mud [Even had high school football practice in the mud. Loads of messy fun. Again, Momma was not pleased.] 64. Played in the rain [As long as it wasn't lightning during the rain, my parents didn't mind me playing in the rain when I was a little kid.] 65. Gone to a drive-in theater [The Lakeside Drive-In in Starkville, Mississippi when I was a college student and The Chief Drive-In in Cleveland, Mississippi when I was a little kid. Both have long disappeared.]
66. Visited the Great Wall of China
67. Started a business 68. Fallen in love and not had your heart broken [And I'm still married to her to this day.] 69. Toured ancient sites [An Indian burial mound in NW Mississippi when I was a kid.]
70. Taken a martial arts class 71. Played D&D for more than 6 hours straight [Okay, geek admission here: I got hooked on playing D&D when I was in college and continued for about 5 years after college. I've grown out of it.] 72. Gotten married [21 years when June, 2007 rolls around.] 73. Been in a movie [I happened to be in the right place at the right time in Laurel, Mississippi when they were filming scenes for a made-for-TV movie starring LeVar Burton as a Detroit Tigers baseball player. The name of the movie is "One in a Million: The Ron LeFlore Story." They needed extras to sit in the stands in period costume for a baseball game that took place when the character Mr. Burton played was much younger. Unfortunately, all those scenes I was in were cut.]

92. Buried one/both of your parents
93. Been on a cruise ship
94. Spoken more than one language fluently 95. Performed in Rocky Horror [Another weird point of my teenage and college years. I saw it in theaters over 350 times. I lost count long, long ago. It's not the same anymore since it's available on DVD. I did the part of "Eddie" incidentally. Not too many choices for fat guys.]

114. Gone on an African photo safari
115. Had a facial part pierced other than your ears 116. Fired a rifle, shotgun, or pistol [My Daddy took my brother and I hunting a lot when I was a kid. Fishing was more my thing.]
117. Eaten mushrooms that were gathered in the wild 118. Ridden a horse [Only once when I was a little kid visiting my Uncle & Aunt in Winter Haven, Florida. I don't remember much about it anymore.] 119. Had major surgery [See my mention of the gastric bypass surgery above.

Impeached Judge Now Crooked Democrat From Florida, Alcee Hastings
It seems that the dreaded “foot in mouth disease” currently plaguing Democrats in the House & Senate is spreading. John Kerry showed the symptoms with his “botched joke” insult of the military. Charles Rangel showed the symptoms with his insults of Mississippi and the military. Now impeached judge and current corrupt Democrat congresscritter Alcee Hastings has been infected. Recently in a speech to fellow House Democrats Hastings denied he was corrupt and attacked
“Newt Gingrich, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Michael Barone, Drudge, anonymous bloggers, and other assorted misinformed fools“
who have cited his House impeachment and Senate conviction on bribery and perjury charges. Michelle Malkin, one of those specifically named by Hastings, provides ample documentation exposing Hastings’ attempt at spin. I truly urge you to read not only her post, but all the links showing the historical record concerning Hastings’ impeachment and past actions. California Conservative blog also has an interesting and enlightening take on the Hastings situation. Please read that as well. If anyone is a “fool” here, it’s Alcee Hastings for trying to fool people into believing he’s not corrupt. Just another of Democrat clowns who fits in snugly as a prime example of the “culture of corruption” Pelosi, Reid, et al promised to eliminate. Instead, the Democrats are not only promoting it (not surprising) but cultivating it as well.

Well, on Saturday the Florida State Seminoles lost to the Florida Gators and the Mississippi State Bulldogs lost to the Oxford Junior College…er, excuse me…Ole Miss Rebels. At least the New Orleans Saints beat the Atlanta Falcons for the second time this season. So the weekend wasn’t a total washout for me in regards to football.

‘Tis the day after Thanksgiving and the after-Thanksgiving sales are in full swing. The crowds will be insanely large at malls throughout the country. And I’m probably going to get stuck right in the middle of one. I’ve noticed that the older I get, the more my dislike of crowds increases. When I was a kid, I loved going to places where it was crowded and noisy. Malls. Football games. Indoor concerts. But nowadays, I prefer an open airy and quiet, serene feeling when I go out. I guess I’m turning into an “old fogey.” Oh, well.
UPDATE: I was “volunteered” to drive my wife and her Mom to the Tanger Outlet Center in Foley, Alabama on “black Friday” and I can honestly say that there is nothing on sale that would get me back out in a nightmarish crowd like that again. After dropping them off, it took me over 45 minutes just to find a parking space. Never again!

There is an interesting, interactive site called “Where’s George” where you can track the travels of tagged various American paper currency. I’ve seen these from time to time. If you get paper currency with “www.wheresgeorge.com” on it, you can go to the Where’s George? Home Page and enter the denomination, series (year) and serial number as well as your current zip code and then hit the ‘SUBMIT’ button. You’ll be able to see where that bill has been and whomever entered the information in beforehand will be able to see where it ended up. The more people that enter the information, the more tracking that bill receives. And you can start with a new bill as well. It’s free and it’s pretty interesting.

News Corp., the parent company of book publisher HarperCollins and the FOX broadcast network, has canceled publication of the O.J. Simpson book and television special “If I Did It.” What took them so long? What inept person or persons okay’ed these projects to begin with? News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch said,
“I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project. We are sorry for any pain that this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson.”
Gee, Rupert, ya think so?!?
A tip o’ the hat to Michelle Malkin for the heads up about this announcement.

In this form, it may have up to one million Scoville Heat Units.
Harald Zoschke writes about the search for the hottest chile pepper in the world, measuring more than one million Scoville Heat Units. It was a five-year quest, but finally the ‘Naga Jolokia’ gets its due as the hottest pepper on the planet.

Once again, Daily Kos shows itself to not allow truth and facts get in the way of a good bashing. Michelle Malkin reports of the Daily Kos rallying the “Black Box” troops to fight against Diebold for stealing a congressional election from a Democrat in Florida’s 13th district. Plus they have launched a fund-raising drive to fight the evil Diebold empire. However there’s a little, teeny-weeny, itsy-bitsy problem with Kos’s call to arms…Diebold didn’t manufacture the voting machines used in Florida’s 13th district. Diebold’s main competitor, ES&S, made the machines used in Florida’s 13th district. Again, Kos would rather ignore facts than allow a good excuse to attack others to slip by. Typical moonbattery by extremist liberals. The lame update at the bottom of the post states “Update II: Machines in FL-13 were made by ES&S. Same difference.” Kos completely and conveniently ignores the fact that moonbatty liberals have been after Diebold ever since the 2000 Presidential elections and Kos gleefully joins in on the attacks. But Kos doesn’t worry about fact-checking and truth-finding to engage in a liberal battle.
Personally, in regards to voting machines, I believe a paper-trail should not only be necessary but a requirement in regards to ballot boxes of any kind. The ones used here in Leon County have a paper trail in the form of the fill-in-the-bubble ballots used to choose the candidates. As such problems in this Florida county are pretty much nil. The Leon County Supervisor of Elections Ion Sancho has done an excellent job of running elections here for several years and as far as I can see, hardly anyone has anything negative to say about his job performance.

This morning after coming home from dropping my wife off at work, I ran across this little creature crawling on the ground. It was about 2 inches long and neon yellow/green. Anyone know specifically what it is?
UPDATE: Lyle Buss from the Insect Identification Laboratory at the Entomology and Nematology Department (University of Florida) informed me:
It’s the Polyphemus moth, Antheraea polyphemus (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae). Larvae feed on a variety of trees and shrubs, such as apple, ash, birch, dogwood, elm, hickory, maple, oak, rose, and willow. Adults are sometimes attracted to lights.
Now we know.
Here’s what the moth looks like. According to what I found online, the Polyphemus Moth is one of the biggest moths found in the United States, growing up to a 5.5 inch wingspan. It has brownish-yellow wings with a black and white, wavy line on each. It has a small, mostly yellow eyespot on each forewing (front wings), and larger blue, black, and yellow eyespots on the hindwings. Underneath, the moths’ wings look like dead leaves. Polyphemus Moths are usually found in forests, but can also be seen in marshes and parks.

non sequitur (non se·qui·tur) n. An inference or conclusion that does not follow from the premises or evidence. A statement that does not follow logically from what preceded it. (Source: American Heritage Dictionary)
Chad Conrad Castagana, a Californian, was arrested recently on charges that he allegedly mailed a number of powdery letters to Keith Olbermann, Jon Stewart, Sumner Redstone, Nancy Pelosi, David Letterman, Chuck Schumer and others. And now the liberals are going absolutely batty (moonbatty?) trying to link conservatives to Castagana. And since there is no direct link available, many liberals are making up things in order to smear conservatives. The problem is, their explanations are nothing more than prime examples of non sequiturs. Brian Maloney of the Radio Equalizer has much more about the disgusting desperation libs are exhibiting with direct examples of their hysteria from such uber-libs as Huffington Post’s Steve Young, liberal site The Raw Story and (not surprising) MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann.
Robert Cox of OlbermannWatch.com has written an open letter to Keith Olbermann which shines the light of truth upon Olbermann’s hypocrisy. Here’s a portion:
“You have been highly critical of Rush Limabugh [sic] and President Bush. About the same time Castagana was sending his letter to you, Michael Lee Braun sent a fake anthrax letter to conservative talk show host Tom Sullivan, a regular guest host on the Rush Limbaugh show. Braun was arrested by the same Joint Terrorism Task Force who caught Castagana and has now been indicted for making threats against President Bush and mailing letters containing an unknown, white powder. By the logic which you now use to accuse Malkin and other right-wing bloggers, aren’t you directly responsible for Braun’s actions?”
Olbermann is too cowardly to respond. This is just another example why Keith Olbermann is a disgusting shred of human debris and deserves only scorn.

There’s some nasty weather on the way to where I live in the next 30 minutes or so. Hopefully it won’t cause too much damage anywhere especially here at home. I also hope I don’t lose electricity tonight.
