When a fairly modern leader like Musharraf leaves, the West can only worry when the Sharia purists seize control (of the nukes).
A Pakistani lawmaker defended a decision by southwestern tribesmen to bury five women alive because they wanted to choose their own husbands, telling stunned members of Parliament this week to spare him their outrage.

This Jeff Rubin guy makes a living calling for $200 oil, $2/l gas, and other such calamities that never seem to materialize.
A perfect storm of waning supplies coupled with a bad hurricane season could send gasoline prices higher again for good – perhaps as high as $1.75 a litre, a CIBC economist says.

I’d prefer listening to a psychic like Anthony Carr over this loon.
Fox News and Greta are going crazy about the VP Palin on the Republican ticket. Patriot Radio on Sirius and I’m sure other channels played Palin’s speech live, and it was refreshing and strangely riviting.
Odd that a female newcomer is so much closer to the White House than Hilary.
There are quite a few good programs besides WordPress out there, and if you have the problem of saving passwords, may I recommend Roboform.
Another program I use all the time is GoodSync, which is a great way to back up your critical files. I also use Carbonite, which is a great online backup program that works in the background.
Clicking the above links will bring me money, but I honestly do use these programs and do recommend them.
Thanks to Mippin, reading this blog is much easier if you are using an Iphone or other mobile device.
WordPress continues to impress.

Time to review the famous book, The Population Bomb, at JunkScience.com.

Ehrlich predicted that, “In the 1970’s, the world will undergo famines hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death…At this late date, nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate…”
It’s hard to believe that something so green can be so, well, not green.

It is the pressure change–not the blades–that wipe out thousands of bats annually at wind farms
It’s possible, but not likely to help them much at this late stage of the game.
Does anyone understand Bell’s new ad campaign? They sure are spending big bux. I have been scratching my head over the “er” boldness, and still can’t figger it out. Bell still dominates in the landline business, but they still seem like underdogs everywhere else.
Well, it’s possible. WP is amazing, and we’re going to try it for a while.
Come on over here!
This year has been amazing for thunderheads. We’ve had constant clashes of hot and cold air. Here are a few pics with the beginnings of some funnel clouds.
Another reason I will most likely switch to WordPress is the iphone app, complete with photo uploader. Couple that with the Zillion plugins…
