May Your Thirst Be Quenched

It is a quest that transcends time and space. A quest that has driven men across continents and oceans, waged wars, and tracked the rise and downfall of many civiliations throughout history. But now, for the first time ever in the history of mankind, thanks to the miracle of modern technology, we have found the answer to our never-ending quest:

Where can I find some beer?

My thoughts...

• Notre Dame: Cool. That was one of my favorite trips from my marching years (the train!), so the 2007 game at ND is cool, too. Hopefully we can surprise them in the early game like we did Auburn.
  
• Troy is I-A now, right? But not Samford?
  
• UVA Thursday night... good
• Two weekends in a row of games up here... who's tailgating?
• Didn't we play at VT last year? Explain, Burl!

La Machine a Caca, an educational(?) site hosted by a French Mr. Hanky impersonator. If I knew French I might be able to better understand whether this site is serious or a joke. Unfortunately, you don't really need to understand French to figure out the point of the "machine".

It's probably best to label this NSFW, though it's arguable. At least make sure you have headphones or a very low volume setting!

(O|U)sama Bin Laden

So, if Bin Laden wants a "truce" (America out of Iraq), isn't that proof positive that Iraq is indeed involved with terrorism? Why else would he be invested in getting us out of there? If so, it seems that we had legitimate terrorism-related reasons to go into Iraq.

For some reason, I haven't yet seen the media point that out. I wonder why?

Iran

I have a really bad feeling about Iran. Everything I look at just makes it appear that we're going to be dealing with a nuclear Iran - and at that point they will be able to operate without regard for world opinion.

It is clear the best option in Iran is an internal uprising to overthrough the Mullahs. However, this requires the luxury of time, which we don't have.

The E3 has taken forever to come around and now we're asking the IAEA, which Syria or all people sits on to recommend Iran to the security council. China, and to a lesser extent Russia, haven't appeared to be committed to any action, and we don't have that long.

It seems like the options are
1) Hope Israel does it for us and then protect Israel. With Sharon's stroke, this doesn't seem like a smart bet.
2) Surgical strikes in hopes of delay. Unless the intelligence is very good, this poses multiple risks.
3) Invade Iran
4) Do nothing and hope that Iran behaves. This is a really bad idea. Iran wants Israel gone, and to a lesser extent the US. Also, a nuclear Iran can sponsor terrorists with no fear.

Obvious paid advertising...

This sure sounds like a paid story to me...

Addictive Game

These are a few particularly addictive games. Grow Cube, Grow RPG, and Grow v3. The point of each is that you have to figure out in what order you need to add all the "stuff" in order to make everything happen at the end.
