Monday Roundup

Well the Olympics are over. My wife watched the closing ceremonies, said it was too long and carnival like, the opening was much better.

If someone wrote a book that was widely publicised and later turned out to be 100% false (ok maybe was only 99.9999999999997% false) and it was his area of specialty, one would think this person would not be considered an expert worth listening too. Especially if this person insists that the original premise is still valid. Well think again.

Liberal protesters in Denver try to recreate Chicago in 1968 (by provoking the police into responding to them). However, as much as they tried to goad the police into attacking the demonstrators (who did have a permit), they were not successful. I guess there were too many video cameras around so the protesters couldn't start a riot by throwing bottles or something and then blame the police.

Mother nature has a sense of humor.

Senator Obama says we should think of the community and not just ourselves in how we live our lives. Will he follow his own advice when it comes to HIS family?
