CSI started tonight, as did several other shows did this week. Both Boston Legal and CSI:NY are now on the Blogcritics site. Basically, it will wrap up Sunday with Housewives opening for Sons and Daughters. Since neither of my reviews was put on 'hold' by an editor, my touch has improved.

Where do I go to re-charge my brain?

I replied to a blog post (someone else's) and managed to refer to UGA's resident furball Uga as cute. Yikes! I will say he is much better looking than West Kentucky's mascot. Did you know UGA has had a bulldog mascot for fifty years? Not the same one, obviously. Although it is the same family who has been raising Uga-lees (Tech's nickname).

Okay, I never applied to the school in question. Half my high school attending was a good part of the problem. However, I freely admit that I probably could have gotten in had I done so. Now would be tricky.
Not keen on the football team, but the mascot could be considered cute. Although I believe the reason bulldogs are chosen has do to do with tenacity than looks. Know Yale and Mississippi State have this furball, yet they look more like bulldogs tend to, with double colors of brown and white.

Oh good grief. This man should have a double charge since he called out the fire department on false charges. Cats climb, people. If they got up, they can well come down.

Get over it people. You packed too heavy to begin with, and London is better at security. When media decides the people have a right to know, the terrorists are one step closer. Law abiding citizens are of no interest to federal agents.

Islamic extremists. Let me define that for you. Muslims with an Islamic faith + behavior so far off typical that attention must be paid.
NOW: Folks, terror is created by people FEW not majority. On Sept 11, Muslims in this country (and we do have them) were horrifed at events. Same for the London bombings. Are ALL Muslims guilty of terrorism? NO. Are most? NO. I agree those two could have, and should have, waited their turn patiently. Boarding has a pattern made to get people on quickly. If you have to question whether Arabic is being spoken, you don't have ANY right to make the call. Besides, there's a good chance an air marshal is on the plane. Which reminds me-they need to overhaul their system, they aren't as invisible as they think. In fact, they make themselves spotted way too easily.

Mother and baby doing fine, now in recovery mode. Jawga Bloggers are going to have their hands full-it takes time to develop a taste for Artillery Punch ; )

Prayer sessions a problem
Family faces eviction for loud night prayers - Yahoo! News
Egad. I realize this family is one of great faith, but I have to take issue with what the father said. Loud noise the most effective guard against the devil? WRONG!!! The prayers are the most important part, not how loud one says them. The landlord would be justifed in this case to evict this family. They obviously only care about themselves.

Wading through the spamming logjam

Tried to update my link list, and Blogger finally stepped up. Three blogs, and two had spam messages. Not from me. Dax had to approve my comment, due to my name being on a list. okaaaaayyy........ One comment went through, but is awaiting approval. Another refused to let me leave a comment due to high amount of spamming.

Funky Times Ahead
Blogarama
Changed template, and lost customizations. Took me a minute to figure out those were links and the comment banner. Never fear, comments are still there, but where Blogger has a link, not where I tired to put them. And why is my URL above the Blogarama? Not sure what that last thing is, but working on the redo.
Links disappearing gave me a chance to consider which bloggers should go on it. I use some as jump-offs. Such as Kelley. I read hers, and look at her sidebar to see who updated their blogs. (Not sure how to set mine up to) She is busy with a job and new baby on the way, so Chrissy serves the purpose with her comments. Occasionally, I get introduced to new bloggers, like Lisa. So I made my list, and made notes where double checking needed. Eventually, I will get added to more blogrolls.

Tomorrow is various political runoffs for legislative positions in Georgia. Not all places, but certain state and national seats. Let's see-how many dodo brains will put Cynthia McKinney back in office? My phone already rang with someone volunteering for Jim Martin- Dem challenger. Doesn't anybody realize votes can switch between primary and November? People did exactly that to ensure Ralph Reed did not get office.
Am reminded of the commenter in AJC where someone said voting is privilege, not right. People got upset, and quoted relevant parts of Constitution. Ahem. Let me step in here. You have to be 18, number one. A U.S. citizen (assuming legal preferred) for another. Now, having said these things, I find it hard to consider "rights" as such when they can be taken away. Ever heard of a felony, folks? Two immediate consequences are lose the ability to cast a vote, and own a firearm. Which means the 2nd Amendment is out the window as well.

Middle East Mess
Blogarama
No, not the Iraq one. I have just one question for Israel: why in the world didn't you go fetch your soldiers before firing those rockets? If I recall correctly, your intelligence department is one of the best in the world. Mossad happens to be why. With all the Americans who were around when buildings started to collapse, you had to know the U.S. would be FORCED to step in at some point. BTW, when people need to get out of dangerous situations, shattering the airport into smithereens only makes you look bad.

Had to steal this from Elisson due to its high quality content.

When I read the comments, my reaction was similar to that of Eric's. Out of all people, I only recognize one. The blonde is Key Monroe. I'm guessing Eric is at far right. Velociman is in there somewhere, too. Think he should be either in front of Key or directly behind. If not, second one from left. This will teach me not to attend blogmeets. Do know they are together because Acidman recently passed on. It's likely I have read their blogs regularly. A couple have put me on blogrolls. I've only actually met two in person. Kelley and I went to high school together. She only lives about one town over. I met Thomas when he performed a "Shakespeare in the Park" thing at City Hall.

I'll do my best not to remind them of the Iraq invasion. However, this is on the equivalency of the flag burning amendment or the gay marriage issue. Not something to take up the time. So the movie got a slightly higher rating. The moviemakers are offended, but talk about sour grapes. Now, I'll be the first to admit I haven't seen the movie, but I have a feeling there is more involved than simply a coach talking about God. After this IS teenagers we're talking about, right? Do the football players go home after practice and have all night prayer sessions? I doubt it. And their lives outside the sports arena are probably a little complicated. As a college cheerleader myself, I know mine was.

Rob was one to read with a pound of salt, but he made you both smile and think. Yes, people might get angry. But he never cared what others thought. Fortunately. I found out as others did, through posts on blogs. They provided a link, so it seems it is not an urban legend. No evidence of foul play, and for those who had cause for concern also heard answering machine messages which led them to believe all was well. Incidentally, computer kept picking up comments. Details are sketchy, but it looks like illness. A memorial is planned, and there is word bloggers are going to participate. I'll let you know when I do.

Carl Haissen must be having a field day. First it was that jail riot where guards had sex with female prisoners, which they shouldn't have, in exchange for drugs and other contraband. Just how desperate were these people? Then this gem I found at another blogger's site: had to look up article to see the background.
http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/florida/news-article.aspx?storyid=59188
Some poor reporter was doing a story, and the way he packed up afterwards led TSA personnel to suspect he might have had a bomb! Oops.
Can empathize. I once put a bunch of rocks in my carryon, and it looked suspicious. Once the bag was dug through, I was able to prove there was nothing amiss.

Seeing how the controversy over Dan Brown's The Davinci Code has grown and grown, I remembered I had one of his books. While I am not ready to read The DaVinci Code yet, I wanted to see what his style of writing looked like.
Digital Fortress is a fictional tale centered around the National Security Agency. Yes, we have one. Condi Rice used to head it. Anyway, no secrets relating to National Security were told. Did bring up one point which has not left my head. Especially in view of wiretapping mess. Since the NSA deals in codes (they have a website), idea was put forth for an ability to read peoples' email and seal it without persons being aware. Hmmm...
wouldn't there be certain words to look for? Same problem as blocking out websites due to content. Stop breast from getting through, and you also delete recipes using chicken breasts. Not to mention breast cancer info. Oops! So how does one differentiate between a terrorist sleeper cell and an online history class talking about the ways in which terrorism flourishes?
