Friday Follies: Congressional Condemnation, Israel, Race Demonstrations, etc.

Items of Note as I Peruse the News

-Senate roundly condemns anti war group for ad wondering if president's man is being fully truthful in testimony to congress. Brought to my mind the Terry Shiavo brouhaha of a few years ago, much ado about nothing. The group, MoveOn.org, expected to have a surge in donations for its cause with all the free air time.
-Israel takes out a nuclear site in Syria?! Holy Cow! That one went way under the radar.
-Race demonstrations and marches in a southern state? The Jena 6 trial taking us all back to the '60's. Wow...
-Here's a surprise: Baghdad housing market going low. What surprises me is that the sellers' are getting even half the appraised value, at least sometimes. Lots of movement in Iraq with all the sectarian violence and the war.

Other stuff:

-Weather continuing to be warm and dry.
-Diane off to play golf with Wilma.

Reminder:

Saturday's Manager's Scramble will start at 8am.

Okay. Time to hie myself away from the cyber world and go see about the goings on down the road and around the corner.
