Professor Death has a ginormous roundup of links pertaining to the Hoekstra/Santorum announcement yesterday regarding the 500 chemical rounds, and a link this morning to some speculation from Chester. I'm not surprised that this isn't getting any coverage from the MSM, and frankly I expect this to have zero impact on the people who have been whinging for the last five years that there aren't any WMD and therefore we should pull out now so the Iraqi children can get back to flying kites, cuddling puppies, being shot, dying in chemical attacks and all the other happy things they did when that benevolent old fellow Saddam Hussein was in charge. After all, there weren't any reappraisals, agonsized or otherwise, when the troops found a shell full of sarin gas attached to an IED back in 2004, so why should we expect any now?

Also, it appears that "Mad Jack" Murtha may have gotten a bad case of sticky fingers when it comes to defense appropriations. This would appear to answer Jack Kelly's question: "Has he become senile? Or was he always that stupid?" Another reason to hope Diana Irey boots him out of office this fall.

In other news, I'm feeling under the weather somewhat and might be fighting off an infection. This would screw up this weekend's plans more than a little, but we'll see how it all works out.

Made a move this morning that hopefully will improve my fantasy team, dropping Carlos Guillen in favor of rookie phenom Jason Bartlett. I don't expect Bartlett to keep hitting over .400, of course, but Guillen's been in a slump lately. I'm also dithering over whether to bring back Brad Radke, but that's going to depend on whether Tony Armas is actually injured, I think.

Today's one of my rare busy days at work, since it's time to balance the internal billing here at the Evil Banking Neighbor, but I'm going to make the effort to get out this afternoon and hit the Farmers' Market. I want some tomatoes, and maybe some more fruit. Maybe.

Perhaps you want to restate your last point then, also explain why you expected better from a known religious conservative.

I'm not sure [livejournal.com profile] badger2305 knows I'm Catholic...not that most folks lump us bead-jigglers in with the Religious Right anyway.

And I don't lump Catholics in with the Religious Right (who seem often to be conservative Protestant and sometimes non-demonominational).

non-demonominational

What was I thinking? Or typing?

That'll be ten yards and loss of down for politically-motivated Freudian slip! ^_^

way off topic

Of course how can you be off topic in LJ? I remember trying to explain the varieties of Conservatives as well as those of Protestants to some leftist agnostic friends of mine once. Their eyes glazed over quickly. On one hand I won't deny that there is some log-step in every movement, it's quite short sighted to lump all conservative Protestants into an amorphous non-individual melange
