musing minds

Totally unscientific, but interesting.

Joey Salvia at the Brian and the Judge radio show wrote this little ditty. You’ll need to scroll down to the Kim Jong Ill link below the Related Items header.

You just have to hear it!

This is great. Pass it around.

What do Iran and N. Korea share, technology wise? Probably everything. Or everthing that matters from a global security perspective.

Which means there’s a real possibility Iran could be further ahead with its nuclear program than we think. Note that all of the “expert” estimates, which are themselves wide ranging, generally refer to Iran’s indigenous program. But Iran is/was just one shipment container away from having its own nuke(s). Iran, with its rich history of fighting proxy wars through terrorist organizations, may have a nuke.

It’s time we start thinking about the unthinkable. The age of nuclear terrorism may already be upon us.

UPDATE: Another test? Seismic chart from Inchon.

Today (10/09) is the 135^th anniversary of the day Mrs. O’Leary’s cow is credited with starting the Great Chicago Fire.

Edward, a fellow commenter over at PoliPundit and the owner of the KidSafe Playhouse business that is advertised on this site is in need of prayers for his mother. She was taken to the hospital and is currently on oxygen, but not much more is known at this time. Please pray that the doctors can diagnose her correctly and treat her successfully.

N. Korea just created a 4.2 magnitude earthquake……via nuclear bomb.

As we get closer to the November elections, the MSM is becoming ever more brazen in abusing their position of “trusted purveyors of news” by advocating for the Dems under the guise of “reporting”.

While examples of media bias abound, due to the inherent ambiguity of reporting, there is often sufficient wiggle room to enable the offending member of the media to offer some explanation not owing to bias. We are often left with having to lump a particular story in with many other stories of its kind in order to make a case on a macro level. One story about about a bombing in Iraq in and of itself is not evidence of bias. But combine that story with a thousand other bombing stories, and juxtapose that with the complete lack of any positive story out of Iraq, and you’ve got a pretty strong argument of systematic bias.

The problem is systematic bias is an indirect indictment on the industry as a whole, and therefore holds no particular news organization to account.

And so the plausible, yet unlikely, explanations from the MSM continue. And so does the bias. However, every once in a while we have an opportunity to witness an undeniable example of media abuse. Rathergate was one example. The Israel/Hezbollah war photo-shopping was another.

This week we have yet another example. Powerline has the details: Two candidates. Two criminal complaints made against each (with the one against the Democratic candidate being far more recent). The complaint against the Republican (on a decades old charge) makes the front page. The complaint against the Democrat gets no coverage at all.

Its as if it was part of a social/scientific experiment involving a manipulated control group. There’s no wiggle room here.

Like a rat going for the cheese, the MSM just couldn’t help itself.

Welcome Right Wing News readers! Please have a look around.

It started with Roger L. Simon

Still… despite the fact that I have been married three times (to women) and have three children (of my own seed, as far as I know), I cannot cover up any longer. This dual life has become intolerable. I am gay!

There. I’ve said it. Doesn’t that make you feel better, David? (Can we get back to serious issues now?)

and spread from there to Vanderleun at American Digest

“Thank you Roger. Now I have the strength to out myself as well. For decades I have been a lesbian trapped in a man’s body. I can’t help it. I have this deep need to pursue every beautiful woman I see. What can this be other than latent lesbianism?

and from there to The Anchoress! She enjoys marital sex! A Catholic yet!

I’m Lutheran, and a Republican. I’ve been one pretty much all my life. I remember voting Republican in the mock election in first grade.

And I’m pretty sure it’s okay to be a bit lusty with one’s spouse even if you are a Christian Conservative.

– – Of course, after reading the Anchoress’ post a certain song from the musical Hair! gave me an earworm! —
