From the Duh! Files

Posted by AJStrata on September 30th, 2005

Folks, in a stunning break-through scientist have just figured out a major component in Global Warming. This new discovery will require a re-alignment of all the computer models to take into account something that before now escaped scientists’ attention.
Folks, it is now known that a possible major factor in the warming of the Earth […]

Able Danger, Pentagon Coverup, 09/30/05

Posted by AJStrata on September 30th, 2005

Up until today I was fairly sure the current Pentagon leadership would weather the Able Danger storm with style and finesse. I have had long admired Rumsfeld and others on their dealings with that behemoth of a bureaucracy.
But today my respect and faith were shattered. Captain Ed posts on the […]

Plame Game - Judith Is Coming!

Posted by AJStrata on September 30th, 2005

Just as it appears the Able Danger story may be slipping into the abyss of DC power plays, the Plame-Wilson show opens up with it’s fall season premiere! Judith Miller has decided to testify:
udith Miller, the reporter for The New York Times who has been jailed since July 6 for refusing to testify in […]

Invest In Adult Stem Cell Therapies

Posted by AJStrata on September 30th, 2005

Folks, I have been posting since this site came on line, and on political forums for years before that, Adult Stem Cell Therapies will prove to be much more successful than Embryonic Stem Cell solutions.
The reasons are obvious to those of us who know biology and science (I myself hold a BS in Biology). […]

DeLay And Earle

Posted by AJStrata on September 29th, 2005

Watching the DeLay and Earle reactions I think too many bloggers and pundits live too much inside the beltway (which is really a hoot since I was born and raised there!). While I now live just outside the beltway (more house for the money), us ‘natives’ have been around this town long enough […]

Forrester Gaining

Posted by AJStrata on September 29th, 2005

Corzinne has a race on his hands and I still think there is a good chance he will lose.
With polls indicating the state’s gubernatorial campaign has tightened, Democratic candidate U.S. Sen. Jon Corzine sought yesterday to warn voters his Republican opponent would bring President Bush’s policies to New Jersey.
But Republican Douglas Forrester, buoyed by […]

Able Danger, Arkin III, 09/29/05

Posted by AJStrata on September 29th, 2005

UPDATE:
Folks I am nursing a nasty cold and facing deadlines, so color me red for never linking to Arkin’s post!
They will have to tear this keyboard from my dead cold hands…….
OK, they can have it.
END UPDATE
Bill Arkin has come out with part three of his Able Danger treatise. I posted on his first two […]

Fly By 09/29/05

Posted by AJStrata on September 29th, 2005

UPDATE:
I was close in my Roberts’ confirmation vote prediction. I said 75-25 and it was 78-22. Chillin’ news.
Also Mark Coffey, the founder of the Coalition of The Chillin’, is not buying all the bravado from the media on a filibuster showdown. I agree, won’t happen - which is what I said yesterday.
END […]

I Am Normal

Posted by AJStrata on September 29th, 2005

I am normal, and proud of it. Bet you are too!
This is one of the best posts I have read in ages - and made me feel really pretty good.
I would add: Normal is trying to squeeze 70 minutes of Lord of The Rings in every night for a week with the teenager, who […]

Son of K-Starr Strikes DeLay!

Posted by AJStrata on September 28th, 2005

I’ll tell you what, Ronnie Earle has got to be the dumbest partisan hack on the planet. After six, count them - six, grand jury attempts to indict DeLay he comes up with this weak, impossible to prove indictment. I have to say, the democrat brain trust is bankrupt.
The Dems keep trying to […]

Able Danger, Arkin Part Deux, 09/28/05

Posted by AJStrata on September 28th, 2005

Having addressed Bill Arkin’s initial Able Danger post yesterday here to mixed results (good background info, weak conclusions) I feel compelled to continue to review his update today. He begins with a stunning conclusion:
In April 2000, Able Danger, only months old, was abruptly shut down. Caught violating Reagan administration Executive Orders and Defense Department […]

Fly By 09/28/05

Posted by AJStrata on September 28th, 2005

Rita, unfortunately, acted just like her bigger cousin Katrina in wiping structures along miles of coastline along her eastern side, where the storm surge is the greatest. The target this time was Louisiana’s Bayou region.
At its worst, Rita behaved like a viciously effective bulldozer, scraping away everything it met, scraping away places such as […]

Giant Squid Caught On Film

Posted by AJStrata on September 27th, 2005

Say ‘Cheese’!
A pair of Japanese scientists have photographed for the first time in the wild a live giant squid, one of the most mysterious creatures of the deep-sea.
The Japanese scientists led by Tsunemi Kubodera, from the National Science Museum in Tokyo, tracked the 25-foot long Architeuthis as it attacked prey nearly 3,000 feet deep […]

O’Connor Replacement To Be Named Soon

Posted by AJStrata on September 27th, 2005

Bush is supposedly close to selecting a nominee to replace Justice O’Connor. AP/Breitbar has this announcement.
I prefer to drop by Redstate for all things judicial. Today they do not disappoint.
Here, here, here and here.
Basically no one knows and Bush and his team are masters at keeping the lid on news until they are […]

Able Danger, Arkin Article, 09/27/05

Posted by AJStrata on September 27th, 2005

Note: I had to whip out the original post in draft form with lots of typos - my apologies. I have since cleaned it up a bit (OK, a lot) since the kids are now in bed and I have a free moment again.
Mark Coffey was kind enough to alert me and others following […]
