Marble in a jar

apt description of my focus this morning ... one of those restless nights and we've been blessed [ahem] with a very loud mockingbird who decides to crank up the volume at the buttcrack of dawn each morning in the tree not too far outside our window.

Looks like the London bombings may have been the work of suicide bombers. This bodes very ill indeed. I hope the Brits haven't waited too long to clean out the more egregious mosques and madrassas.

Michael Moore's Freedom Fighters have proven their bravery again in murdering 13 children for the crime of accepting candy from kaffir US soldiers.

And while we are on the subject of Children As Targets, looks like predator and murderer Joseph Duncan stalked for days the family before he kidnapped Shasta and Dylan. If we cannot put to death child molesters, can we please make sure they stay in prison for life?

And in the realm of things that make you go "huh??", in a time when California is reeling with turf fights over schools and an insane real estate market comes THIS

SAN FRANCISCO - California will remodel 270 parks to settle a class action lawsuit charging the nation's largest state park system has inadequate services for disabled visitors.

The changes, to be implemented during the next 11 years, could cost the state more than $100 million, officials said Tuesday in announcing the settlement. The improvements will ensure disabled access to a state park system that serves roughly 80 million visitors a year.

Virtually every state park in California could be changed by the decision. Parks providing tours will have to offer them for the blind and hearing impaired, and even small state park beaches on the North Coast will have to ensure disabled access.

Paramedics and police officers cannot even afford apartments, let alone homes, in many of the cities they serve and $100 million dollars is going to be spent for rubber walkways on beaches.

Insane.
