Notice the national pride (or lack there of) in the Senator from New York as she sings our National Anthem.

A friend sent me this link. It is a list of random thoughts by Thomas Sowell. The following is a list of quotes I found to be most enjoyable…
—————————————————-
It is hard to think of any word that has confused more issues than the word "rights." Nowadays, almost anything that anybody wants is called a "right" — a magic word that does away with the need for evidence, logic or even common sense.
Many of the same people who are urging us to get out of Iraq are also urging us to go into Darfur. They say we should "do something" about the murderous horrors in Darfur. But you cannot simply "do something." You have to do something specific. Those who are urging intervention won’t take the responsibility for specifying what we are to do — and at what cost in American lives.
Despite the shameless propaganda of the environmentalist zealots about the loss of animal habitat, more than 90 percent of the land in the United States is undeveloped. Animals already have vastly more habitat than human beings have. How much is enough?
We can only hope that the rumor that Israel is going to take out Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities is true. If they do, Israel will be widely condemned by governments that are breathing a sigh of relief that they did.

Here is an interesting article from the NY Times entitled, "Tips for Protecting the Home Computer." Notable quotes include:
"Using a non-Windows-based PC may be one defense against these programs, known as malware; in addition, anti-malware programs and antivirus utilities for the PC are available from several vendors."
"Like Windows, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer browser is also a large, convenient target for code-writing vandals. Alternative browsers, like Firefox and Opera, may insulate users."
So the basic point is, Don’t use Microsoft products.

"A US Border Patrol entry Identification Team site was overrun Wednesday nigh along Arizona’s border with Mexico.
According to the Border Patrol, an unknown number of gunmen attacked the site in the state’s West Desert Region around 11 pm. The site is manned by National Guardsmen. Those guardsmen were forced to retreat.
…
The Border patrol says the attackers quickly retreated back into Mexico."
In short, National Guardsmen were forced to retreat because their border patrol position was overrun with gunmen from Mexico. With this in mind, I do not understand why people oppose taking measures to secure the border with Mexico. National Guardsmen, on US soil, should never be forced to retreat from their position.
In other words, BUILD THE WALL!!
By the way, for those of you who compare the building of a security wall on the Mexican wall to the Berlin Wall, please consider the following: the Berlin Wall was built to keep people in. The purpose of this wall is to keep people (like these gunmen) out. There is a difference.
