I note it here because some other forum contributors were promoting Arab Spring as a model for protests in this country.

"Egyptian husbands could soon be legally allowed to have sex with their dead wives for up to six hours after their death, local media is claiming."

"The controversial new law is claimed to be part of a raft of measures being introduced by the Islamist-dominated parliament."

"It will also see the minimum age of marriage lowered to 14 and the ridding of women's rights of getting education and employment."

There could be a Romney variation of the dance called the Robot Flip Flop.

Charlie Pearce, well known Catholic, takes Ryan on using Aquinas. Pearce has been reading a lot of Catholic theologians lately due to his ongoing quarrel with the "Clan of the Red Beanie".

Here's the money quote from Aquinas:

"It is the hungry man's bread that you withhold, the naked man's cloak that you store away, the money that you bury in the earth is the price of the poor man's ransom and freedom." (Question 66, Article 7.)

Not north central.

Friday nights we head to our weekend place. Unless I can sneak off early we roll out of LR about 6 or a quarter till.

About the time "This American Life" show comes on and starts to get interesting, we hit Choctaw south of Clinton. Then on north slopes we get static and lose signal.

For months I was hoping the new tower/transformer thing a ma jig would cure our issue.

Then last Friday we tested my hopes.

No luck, practicaly the same. Maybe a little less cutting out but not any further north.

As I cut across Van Buren and Searcy Counties with their increasing occurance of rebel flags and other hints of racism (fire bombs etc) I think to myself, thsi is the main area that could use a little KUAR and less AFR (American Family Radio). Their motto should be "draping racism with the Bible and the flag)

"Michael L. Deel and his wife, Michelle, are recovering after the Roanoke, Va., man accidentally shot them both during a firearms-safety class."

Michael Deel did get an 'A' in marksmanship!

Remember Stephen Colbert's 'truth to power' comedy at the White House Correspondents Dinner a few years ago?
Well, he's does it again at the Times 100 Most Influentual People Gala, calling out David Koch among others.

(Reuters) - The U.S. Army cut rock musician and gun-rights advocate Ted Nugent from a summer concert program at Fort Knox, Kentucky, on the same day he met with two U.S. Secret Service agents over recent comments he made about President Barack Obama.

RE: Ted Nugent and U.S. Army
Tuesday, April 24, 2012

Thank you for sending the information on the Fort Knox cancellation. While we do not have a policy for cancellation of performances due to an artist’s political speech or opinions, we are intently listening to all of the comments we are receiving. We are also evaluating the many factors that come into play when considering the option to cancel a performance. Such a decision is not something we take lightly.

We greatly appreciate that you took the time to address the issue with us.

Thank you,
Katie Lamar
