Bits and pieces

1. What a load of "who gives a damn?" There's s little water on the moon. Well, of course there is; it's made of cheese. After all, you can't make cheese without water (or eat jackass meat without ketchup). There's water deep in the ground in Nevada, too, where that "moon walk" took place.

2. (AS SEEN ON TV) It has been a month and a half since President Obama gave Iran two weeks to allow inspectors to visit its nuclear facilities. It's three months since he was supposed to send additional troops to Afghanistan. Why can't he act in a timely manner?

3. It was with deep regret that the state-run media (NBC) had to report that Representative William Jefferson (D-LA) was sentenced to thirteen years in prison for bribery. Good grief, a Democrat? Unbelieveable.

4. The base at Guantanamo, like American embassies around the world, is U.S. territory. Any federal court can convene there, and should, so that no terrorists have to be moved to New York. As usual, common sense trumps liberal symbolism.
