This is rather toothless in terms of action. Reeks planning to pour oil into an engine with a cracked block every time you fill up.
While President Obama is focused on getting money to friendly-ish Syrian rebels, Congress is increasingly demanding he take more steps to stop militant fighters from coming to the U.S. by stripping Americans of their passports if they join the fight and by suspending countries that have large contingents of foreign fighters from the Visa Waiver Program.
But counterterrorism officials say they are far more concerned that an ISIS militant will enter the United States the same way millions of people do each year: legally, on a commercial flight. Their efforts have focused on the more than 2,000 Europeans and 100 Americans who have traveled to Syria to fight alongside extremist groups, nearly all of them crossing over its unprotected borders. Without markings in their passports to show that they traveled to Syria, American border authorities have few ways of determining where they were and stopping them from entering the country.
That’s all I can write, this whole scenario is making me nauseous.
Speaking of nauseous – I just skimmed the Drudge Report link-list.
Nearly every single headline/link is totally whacko. The whole world is flipping out – or so you would assume if you believe more than 10% of the news.
Meanwhile O’Bugger is sending troops to fight Ebola. Wouldn’t that constitute a kind of biological warfare?
I’ve been asking this question here and there: Just what caliber of round is most effective in killing the Ebola virus … ? Or are we capturing it alive for questioning?
Kill the leaders, I say! JDAM the snot out of ’em!
Hey! We could send it to Guantanamo Bay!
Exactly my question – just what are armed troops supposed to do against Ebola? Rendition to a third world country? Already done.
The world is tilted at a 45 degree cant. I don’t believe 10% of what I hear but even if I assume what I hear is total BS, the fact that I’m hearing it at all is a sign of grave issues. The flow of misinformation is information in and of itself.

Yeah, I looked that up and there were several issues. Physics being the big one but even discounting that they still did the test without a vacuum because they did not use vacuum rated materials, and that totally invalidates the test.
Thanks for saving me the time, LK. 🙂
LK – you see that comet out-gassing photo? The comet that the probe just rendezvoused with? It would be a real pity – but kind of hilarious – if the probe got farted plumb off into the void. Just sayin’…
LK (again) check out how much hardware NASA is bringing to bear on the Mars-comet flyby in a few days.

And … by the way … where are you?
McGoo says sternly, “Don’t make me come up there!”
Sorry ‘Goo. Between work and remodel I generally just surf FB and watch the Simpsons and don’t post much. Carpet goes in tonight so I am happy. I’ll check out the press link.
Just checking to be sure you’re alive and (resuming) kicking.
Remodeling – the process of cleaning up the same construction mess 4-5 times. Oy …
I actually checked my password collection to see if I had your WordPress account thingy. I figgered I’d post something in your absence. No joy. Probably just as well…
Pity about the ESA comet probe. Imagine waiting for TEN YEARS just to have your baby bounce onto the target a few times and then go dark a day or two later.
And then to have some heartless Feminazi rip you for your taste in shirts!
And tonight (Thurs) The Royal Bugger-Boy will announce how many new illegals – and their spawn – we’ll be subsidizing in this country, for – like – forever.
The world is beginning to suck mightily.
If I could get one of those shirts it would suck a bit less.
I will email you a guest blogger password as soon as I can remember how to do it…
Yes, the ESA probe was painful but it was amazing they got there. Just nothing short of brilliance.
*Tumbleweed blows through on a mournful wind*
Yes, I abandoned the blog for a bit. Not sure if I will pick it up again. I felt like I was just going through motions for some time. I know you knowwhutimean.
[…] a totally unrelated aside, this Lemur King link is hilarious. I’m not sure why I went to his site, I am still boycotting him, but I saw that […]
