  • That’s the cutest dog dressed up as an Ewok I’ve ever seen.
  • There’s a mother-son dance in Frisco next month for boys ages 4-12.  I have a feeling most boys will dread this event no matter how much they love momma.
  • It’s interesting how some school districts spend their money.  Some like to spend funds on building state of the art football facilities, some just have funding problems, and some issue netbooks to all high school students.  While I like the idea of moving forward regarding technology, I fear the students will be surfing/playing games/watching videos in class, that they will always forget to charge the batteries, and that their are going to be a lot of repair costs.
  • Lots of debate at the office about if you should watch underwear and socks right after purchase before you wear them the firs time.
  • I’ve been reading about radiant barrier stuff as of late, and I’m considering installing it myself.  The material itself doesn’t seem to cost as much as I would have thought, about 12 cents per square foot for the foil.
  • That is one unhealthy breakfast
  • WifeGeeding has a friend that is installing an elevator in her house.
  • Random Nolan Ryan fact – He stuck out seven father and sons.
  • Panasonic has invented a light bulb that will last 19-years – men won’t buy it because they fear commitment.

Judge tosses out Army captain’s complaint questioning president’s birth

U.S. District Court Judge Clay Land tossed out on Wednesday a complaint by an Army captain fighting deployment to Iraq by questioning the legitimacy of President Barack Obama.

Land also put attorney Orly Taitz, who represents Capt. Connie Rhodes and is a leader in the national “birther” movement, on notice by stating that she could face sanctions if she ever again files in his court a similar “frivolous” lawsuit — a document that at one point the judge states that a middle school student could find irony in.

“(Rhodes) has presented no credible evidence and has made no reliable factual allegations to support her unsubstantiated, conclusory allegations and conjecture that President Obama is ineligible to serve as president of the United States,” Land states in his order. “Instead, she uses her complaint as a platform for spouting political rhetoric, such as her claims that the president is ‘an illegal usurper, an unlawful pretender, [and] an unqualified imposter.’”

Dress Pact

It was a promise neither man would have wanted to keep. Yesterday the funeral of a Black Watch soldier killed in Afghanistan took a bizarre turn when his best friend arrived in a bright green dress and pink leg warmers to honour a pact that the two of them had made.

Private Kevin Elliott and his friend, Barry Delaney, had agreed that whoever survived the other should wear a dress to the dead man’s funeral. Mr Delaney duly fulfilled the pledge as a tribute to Private Elliott, who was killed aged 24 while on foot patrol in the southern province of Helmand on August 31.

Mr Delaney wept on his knees at the graveside in Dundee as shots were fired during the military funeral. His dress plans are believed to have been known about in advance by other mourners.
