Calderon Compares Border Fence To Berlin Wall
Mexican president-elect Calderon just summed up the Mexican view of America. They think our country is North Mexico. A land where you can sneak into, live parasitically and funnel billions of dollars illegally back into South Mexico.

The Host is dying, Mr. Calderon. Too many leaches on any animal will eventually kill it.
Thanks for stealing my tax money, overcrowding my schools, driving up my health care costs and ruining my children's future.

Security for us or from us?
Today, the man we are duty bound to honor and respect has signed into law the open allowance of torture and indefinite imprisonment without right of defense, review or oversight. This sort of behavior images that of the "evil" countries we were educated about as children and young adults. My question now is if they were all that "evil" or were their motives as justified as our current ruling party's?

Throughout the last twenty or so years, we've declared "war" on one thing or the other. It started with the "War on drugs" if I remember correctly. Perhaps we can all agree the troops have drifted from the front lines on that one. We declared "war" on poverty and childhood obesity and the list goes on.
The point of this paragraph is twofold. First, you have to have a clearly defined enemy that can be overcome, disarmed and re-educated or slaughtered to the last living combatant. Second, you must invest the correct resources, intellect of force and compassion to control the suffering of innocents, clearly defined operational goals and tenacity to complete the task.

The terrorism we fear is not a war. It consists of single gruesome crimes committed by individuals. As skewed as they are to our culture, they are crimes driven by ideals. Thousands of young men have been persuaded to commit thousands of separate murder-suicides. Had this been a localized or simple matter (such as a "war"), thousands of people wouldn't have acted in the most violent and gruesome manner.

I want to ask a question that has yet to be clearly answered. I want to know WHY they are killing themselves by the thousands.
We can continue to pacify ourselves with foolishness such as "They hate our freedoms" but our Constitution has been erased and re-written to the point that the basis of American freedoms are no more.

Perhaps I should ask what the trees look like from outside of the forest?

Testing those multi-megaton atomic bombs deep underground a good idea?

A 6.5-magnitude earthquake occurred six miles north-northwest of South Kona, Hawaii, at 7:08 a.m. (their local time) today.

Flash over to the North Korean alleged nuclear bomb test(s).
Luckily, it seems their test only yielded about 5 kilotons or just under a third of the explosive power used in the Hiroshima weapon.

It would be nice if the weapon tests and the world's earthquakes fail to coordinate.
If it does, however, what will happen when they test a multi-megaton weapon underground?

As one of the founding "morons" at RockAid, i forgive Fo-Fo and offer the following observations:
Anyone can attest to the monopolization and subsequent wholesale cheapening of the radio industry over the last ten years.
The industry actually has to air its' own PSAs to convince itself that "Radio is not dead". How sad is that?
There are many alternatives to this media. Kids and adults have nothing binding them to it. In an age where cable television is actually considered a utility would you settle for the content broadcast TV has to offer?
Come on, do you think any demographic that can only afford an FM radio is the one adverts are wanting to target?
Even Wal-Mart has 50 different CD and Mp3 players to no more than a few FM radio receivers.
For under a hundred bucks and the cost of a monthly Starbucks trip, you can snatch hundreds of different "stations" from satellite.
Regardless of cause or reason, your available audience is shrinking.
When even "elevator" stations are being exponentially replaced with streamed media, you know something is happening.
This Christmas, when the annual lay-off season starts, remember what we told you and why we walked away from what was the basis of your career.
Yes, there is a sadness in being a moron.
