As I was browsing through random blogs on Blogshares today, I noticed a pattern. A lot of the "dead" blogs either have only one or two posts before they're abandoned, usually a "hello world this is my blog" post and an occasional followup. A lot of the other "dead" blogs start discussing the motivations for blogging. Then suddenly there's no more posts.
I don't think I want to talk about that anymore. I want to keep this blog active.
The Seattle Sonics retired Spencer Haywood's number 24 jersey last night. Now if only their dreams of a publicly funded stadium in Renton would be retired. Of course Haywood doesn't think that way. He said "Don't let the Sonics leave town" during his acceptance speech.
Why shouldn't we? They obviously don't have any loyalty to the area. It's all about the money for them, and for me. I don't watch basketball, but I do eat in restaurants. Why should I have to pay to build a stadium for a team I don't want?
A suspect has been named in the Darfur genocide. Apparently it's somebody pretty high up in the Sudanese government. Sudan immediately rejected the charges, and said they won't be handing over Ahmed Muhammed Harun or Ali Mohammed Ali Abd-al-Rahman.
The two men are charged with 51 counts of crimes against humanity and other war crimes. It seems to me that there should be a lot more people charged, but this is a start. Don't expect much to come of it though.
At least one Congressman is optimistic about our chances of victory in Iraq. Norm Dicks (D. WA) appears to be breaking ranks with the other Democrats in Congress. According ot the A.P. and the Tacoma News Tribune he said that the "surge" could work– if Iraqis believe in it and participate fully.
What's his biggest source of optimism? Gen. David Petraeus.
The left's sure to be disappointed about this one. Apparently a suicide bomber in Afghanistan missed his chance to kill our Vice President. Personally I'm glad he missed, but the left's sure to be upset.
I thought the Taliban was supposed to be a group of "Teachers" and "Students". Thank God they haven't learned how to aim.
John Edwards isn't satisfied with running for President. I think he wants to be the first President of the United States to surrender before being sworn in to office. Here we are, with more and more evidence that Iran is behind a lot of the violence in Iraq and "the Breck girl" wants to sign a non-aggression pact with Tehran.
Iran has sworn its enmity with the West, and with the U.S. and Israel in particular. Now this slip-and-fall lawyer with the carefully managed hairdo has said "I'm just not willing to say that" when he was asked whether the U.S. would not tolerate a nuclear-armed Iran.

David responded with:
"A suspect has been named in the Darfur genocide."
Heck, I named a "suspect" a long time ago: Mohammed., the Butcher of Medina, the founder of Islam and the direct inspiration for every act of barbarism committed by Muslims. After all, it is he who serves as the prototype for all Muslim barbarity, from slavery and genocide to robbery, torture and rape: all perfectly justifiable by an appeal to the life and works of Mohammed.
Perri Nelson responded with:
Yes David, Mohammed was a false prophet, a barbarian, a slave-holder, and many other horrible things. But each of us is responsible for our own actions. The acts and writings of a false prophet aren't sufficient justification for these kind of acts.
Modern courts and military action can't do much about Mohammed. They can do a little something about the terrorists and thugs that threaten our world today though.
God will hold Mohammed to account. He'll also hold today's terrorists and thugs to account. At least we have this even if nothing worthwhile is done in the Sudan, at the Hague, or at the U.N.
