Hmmph, when I'm trying to get some 'it's Monday morning tomorrow' sleep - you know the sort LOL, the channels put on stuff that is B-grade, but better than going to sleep level LOL. Had Driven on one channel - Sly Stallone as a CART or Indy racer LOL, that somehow manages to head to all the Formula One countries hmm LOL - there was Backdraft on another, pretty stodgy movie, but again, better than going to sleep - and Best Laid Plans, which also looked kinda stodgy, but Reese Witherspoon ironed out any deficiencies LOL, but then I looked up and it was like quarter past twelve ick.
Hmm, this is an interesting article - poor little salmon species, two of them, basically being given an extinction certificate by the Canadian Environment Minister. What's more important, money or biodiversity? If I were in Western Canada I would be watching what has happened with the Grand Banks and the fishing stock there, has basically collapsed, and THEN reassess whether fishing is that important. That said, salmon steaks are a very good meal, especially when wood smoked LOL. Spawning populations down from 25,000 between the two species mid last century, to 110 counted now. If that's not damned near extinction I don't know what is.
And with my comments about Gitmo yesterday, here's something from Iraq that is along the same rolling eyes how stupid and disregarding of your image can you be kind of thing - the CIA taking high value prisoners out of Iraq to undisclosed locations hmmph.
Had a couple of viewpoints from the locals about the no doubt just after November 2 battle of Fallujah over the weekend, and here is the NYT view of the Marines itching for a fight themselves. The troops at the end of the article are sounding pretty bitter about the home front, everyone just must remember that we don't need to stigmatise this generation like the Vietnam vets - support the troops, dislike the policy more like.
What the fuck does Freedom on the March mean anyways? Just reading about that ambush of the Iraqi troops near the Iranian border, and as Iraq descends deeper and deeper into a huge hole, can the President start bloody telling the truth? That he doesn't have a plan for making things better there that DOESN'T involve more bombing, that he is holding off flattening Fallujah until after his own re-election, and that there is probably a majority of Iraqis that want the occupation over with... truth, pfft, there's a joke. And those truths are just on the Iraq thing, let's not even go with the economy and rich friends and crap.
Okies, that's enough spleen vented for this evening LOL.
Later taters
