The blast in India was caused by RDX (Royal Demolition eXplosive). It is very explosive and considered one of the most powerful military explosives. So, this was not a crude bomb used by local trouble makers.

If you go here, you can see a satellite picture of the U.S. during the blackout. It looks like a monster ate part of the country.

There have been over 11,000 deaths in France due to a heat wave. Liberals should be shouting, that's more than during the war! That's what I call a quagmire.

The Sioux Falls School District in South Dakota told a teacher she could not meet with students in a Christian club. Teachers were allowed to meet with students in other clubs. The teacher sued and won. Chalk up one more instance of our governmental entities taken anti-Christian stances.

The Shiites may now be turning on themselves. The struggle for power continues. In America, we make speeches. In Iraq, they make car bombs.

Our local Fort Worth City Council is showing signs of multiple personality disorder. First, they say they will not increase the tax rate. That means, they can collect enough money to pay the bills. Then, they say, we are going to raise fees. That means they cannot collect enough money to pay the bills. Finally, they say they are going to float some bond issues. That means, they cannot collect enough money to pay the bills today, so they hope they can collect enough in the future to pay today's bills plus interest. This boils down to it being politically expedient to say no new taxes, but disingenuous by raising fees, which are just taxes with another name. Then, you push projects out with bond issues so that peopel don't realize how much money you are spending.

Astronomers say tonight Mars will be closer than any time in the last 60,000 years. Those guys have an incredible memory.
