Don't pop the champagne yet, but the Khalid Sheik Mohammed trial - originally ordered to civilian Federal court in New York City - may be headed back to the military tribunal (where it belongs). We have already endured an administration that treated terrorism as if it was a criminal act. There is no reason that we must wander down that same path. Let's hope that the President stays strong in the fight against those who wish to see us destroyed.

Captain Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger announced his retirement from Southwest Airlines after a 30 year career. No one who witnessed what Sully did that day last year in the Hudson River would argue that it was nothing short of a miracle. Thanks to he and his crew, the families of the 155 passengers on board all lived to tell their story.

A couple of weeks ago, Pelosi said that she and the Tea Partiers had a lot in common (huh??) Now, along comes the "Coffee Party' which the Lamestream Media thinks is grass roots but is actually a concoction created by Annabel Park, a former NY Times staffer, a member of Asain Americans for Obama, and the Asain Pacific Americans for Progress, to name a few. The Lamies are gushing about the Coffee Party in start contrast to the yawn the gave to the millions-strong Tea Partiers. Always on the wrong side of history.

A majority of one? The Endangered Media tell the story of Sen. Jim Bunning as if her were filibustering the $10 billion jobs bill. In reality, he has lodged an objection - that Congress adheres to its recently reinstated Pay-Go rules that President Obama just signed. They give one man too much power. They could have struck his objection at any time but would rather use it to berate the Republicans. Welcome to the New Lexicon.

(http://suicidemachine.org/) When you're ready to end it all (social networking, that is), all you need is the Suicide Machine and with the click of a mouse, checks you out of the virtual world of Facebook, Twitter, et al. ** UPDATE - It seems the folks at Facebook are guilty of forcing WORM - the creators of the Suicide Machine - to use the product on itself. FB claims that the software violated users' rights. So, much like the Federal Government wanting to control your REAL life, FB exerted its 800# gorilla status and forced WORM out. So, if you want to disconnect from the social networking Matrix, there is no longer a red pill.
