Attacks on me at the Randi Rhodes website
As I am at work, I cannot fully comment on this yet. But as a few of the posters on that site will inevitably see the "Troll" comments being passed around, as well as a link to this site, I will note here that I will update this site soon, possibly tonight. I will be complete with a few attacks from people who have nothing interesting to add to the conversation and some accusations which are unfounded. Stay tuned.
Congratulations to Al Gore
In case you are living under a rock and did not know, Al Gore was awarded a joint Nobel Peace prize for his work with the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. I applaud Vice President Gore for his attempts to bring to light issues pertaining to the environment, and wish him well on his future endeavors.
I would also recommend his book The Assault on Reason, which is a pretty good read. I finished it a few weeks ago, and while I disagree with some of the points he discusses, overall it is very well written and pretty insightful.

Soldier who needs help
I received the following story from one of the posters on Huffington Post, who visits my blog on occasion. He pointed out this story from the AP. Fortunately, I already saw this story and mentioned it on the Roger Hedgecock show and on the Rick Roberts show, here down in San Diego. Unfortunately, I did not get his email to post this until this morning.
Kudos to "getoffmedz" from the Huffington Post. Check out the site for his comments.
*** I have edited a small portion of the discussion from the emailer
TEMECULA, Calif. - He was one of America's first defenders on Sept. 11, 2001, a Marine who pulled burned bodies from the ruins of the Pentagon. He saw more horrors in Kuwait and Iraq.
Today, he can't keep a job, pay his bills, or chase thoughts of suicide from his tortured brain. In a few weeks, he may lose his house, too.
Gamal Awad, the American son of a Sudanese immigrant, exemplifies an emerging group of war veterans: the economic casualties.

AP EDITOR'S NOTE: Jeff Donn reported from Temecula, Calif. Kimberly Hefling reported from Woodlyn, Pa.; Harrington, Del.; and Washington, D.C .
Contact info: Gamal F. Awad, PO Box 893562, Temecula CA 92589(951)551-2132 gmann1906@aol.com
Gamal is on the up and up, he answers his cell and he'll send you a financial statement upon your email to him. PTSD is a terrible thing.
Get this info onto any blog that will post it ESPECIALLY CONSERVATIVE BLOGS! Gamal has until the 15th of October, his immediate needs are $6,700. Employers with patience and compassion around Temecula can help, too.
Huffington Post ran this over the weekend and I have personally checked Gamal out, so has AP.

Lots of things going on
I have been studying for a bar exam, and as such, have largely neglected this blog. Therefore, I will recommit myself to at least one post per week. Stay tuned!
