Bashing big hairy creature

Watched King Kong last night. Upon the demise of Kong, one of the caharacters(played by Jack Black) said it's beauty who killed the beast.. I say...it's more of the sappy love scenes by the gorilla and the lengthy slow pace that killed the movie! Hehe. Read more

See evil, hear evil, stop evil AKA spying!

President Bush in a controversy again about domestic spying. He admitted such spying had taken place. From USA Today report
In this latest case, the administration authorized the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on international phone calls and e-mails of people within the USA without court approval. It defends the practice by saying post-9/11 plots have been broken up
Yikes..I wouldn't want my calls screened! Don't want snoop dogs out there listening to my conversations and screening my emails.. that's privacy violation. It's kinda like wiretapping..American way. Ugh.
While it is essential that the government take action to stop such attacks before they happen, the administration has yet to explain why it needs to act without a warrant to accomplish this
Sure, it's nice to capture and know what the heck terrorists are up to...but may be they need to do something pratical and important like.. don't let anybody enter airports with guns! Check thoroughly for weapons of hijackand terrorists destructions.

Just incase one flew over the White House nest

Well, it's not yet there but just incase it hits the U.S., a flu pandemic readiness test was done at the White House..minus the President and the Vice. Bush went for a bike ride in suburban Maryland on a cold winter morning. Vice President Dick Cheney also stayed away. I think they should've at least been there. According to the news report

Fears of a pandemic have increased in recent months as a virus infecting millions of birds has spread throughout Asia and parts of Europe. While the virus has not yet appeared in the United States, or spread from person to person, officials worry the bird flu could eventually mutate and become as contagious globally as the annual flu.

The administration is working under the worst-case assumption that as many as 90 million Americans would become sick and 2 million would die during a worldwide flu pandemic.

Scary to to think. Is it exaggerated? I dunno. There's no bird flu case there but yet. but better be prepared than sorry.
