Eight years since Iraq began..
A supermoon over earth. And a brand new war…
The stars must have aligned the right way…

MARCH 19, 2011
OBAMA: ‘Today we are part of a broad coalition. We are answering the calls of a threatened people. And we are acting in the interests of the United States and the world’…MARCH 19, 2003
BUSH: ‘American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger…
Very interesting quotes featured by Matt Drudge on the Drudge Report today
Irony?
Today is also the 8th anniversary of the war beginning in Iraq.. and now we’re on the third war …
For those having a parade today.. have a good one
And if you should find yourself with the misfortune of being in Schuylkill County, head to Girardville, the home of some good Molly Maguires history, which will be having quite a large parade at noon.
There has been a week of heartache and tragedy.. The most recent and perhaps saddest example of the horrors that took place in Japan since the massive quake and tsunami come from a school in Japan, where 30 children wait silently for their parents to pick them up.. The children wait at the Kama Elementary School.. According to reporting from the UK DAILY MAIL:
"They sit quietly in the corner of a third-floor classroom where they have waited each day since the tsunami swept into the town of Ishinomaki for their parents to collect them. So far, no one has come and few at the school now believe they will.
Teachers think that some of the boys and girls, aged between eight and 12, know their fathers and mothers are among the missing and will never again turn up at the gates of the school on the eastern outskirts of the town, but they are saying nothing.
nstead, they wait patiently reading books or playing card games watched over by relatives and teachers, who prevent anyone from speaking to them.
Officials fear that even the sound of the door sliding back might raise false hope that a parent has come to collect them. Their silence is in marked contrast to other children playing in the corridors of the four-storey building, whose parents survived due to a complete fluke.
There have been some sad stories from the nation, and most likely will be more as the cleanup kicks in and nuclear annihilation still threatens the general population, but the story of the kids at school, waiting for patiently for the parents they love to come, is one of the hardest hitting of the entire natural disaster.

Stay lean, minus the cuisine
Dieters and male office workers unite: Be fearful over a recall of some Lean Cuisine dinners..
Interestingly enough, they were on sale a week ago on my local grocer..
Good thing I didn’t take advantage of the sale on half-sized turkey dinners and blank egg rolls..
Although the chicken marsala isn’t so bad.
Either way, some of the dinners have been recalled after discovery of ‘foreign’ materials within the spaghetti and meatballs.
The products were sold east of the Rocky Mountains in 9.5 ounce units entitled “Lean Cuisine Simple Favorites, Spaghetti with Meatballs” and have the establishment number “EST 7991.”
They bear a November 2011 “best before” date on the side of the package.
I can’t recall if the meatballs were on sale.. and I hope for your sake your don’t have packages with that establishment number..
International child pedophilia ring busted
Three year old “Operation Rescue” has succeeded, according to police.. They say the product of their investigation revealed an international pedophile ring, rescuing 230 children from abuse and arresting 184 suspects — including teachers and police officers
The ring was centered on an Amsterdam-based online forum called boylover.net.. Investigations still are ongoing concerning members to the website. One official said, “Those who have been members of the site can expect a knock on the door in the very near future”..
