Inhaling The New Spirit Of The Blogosphere

Because public de-linkings are so...2005.

Inspired by this one and this one I say:

Howie, you're fired. And don't you worry, Rusty will get his when he gets back.

WTW Big Kitty Kitty, Dead Kitty Kitty

I went most of my whole born put together without seeing a Bobcat or Lynx. Grandpa tells me he has only seen a few in his 84 years. They were already very rare where we live in by 30Â’s. But since the reintroduction of turkeys a decade ago their numbers have increased steadily. They support quite a few predators weÂ’ve not seen much of. We have even some reports of the odd cougar the last few years. But the main beneficiary has been the smaller lynx, bobcats and coyotes.

The coyotes look fat and happy and even though the cats are very shy IÂ’ve seen three in the last two years. Found my fourth this weekend just across the road from my house. He had been struck by a car. ItÂ’s a shame, not the way I wanted to find one. On the good side he was a big male not a nursing female. So hopefully old Tom Lynx has some offspring nearby and the next pic I get will be of them. My digicam was down(charge) when I first found him so I did not get the best possible pics. When I found him he was as big as my medium size dog. About 40 lbs, a strong fine well fed animal. Hate to see him hit that way. No I donÂ’t think they are dangerous. DonÂ’t mind a cat or two, keeps down the varmints. But the wildlife here in Bumfuct has been making a comeback. Bald Eagles, Blue Herrons, turkeys and some medium sized predators are more comon. And thatÂ’s nice to know. IÂ’ll put the pics in the extended warning they are not very pretty. Maybe next time I hope. more...

Rusty Has Left the Building

I'm gone for the next week. I leave this website in your hands.

You've never heard of The Jawa Report? It's the blog that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.

Don't worry, she'll hold together.*

Help Troops Keep It Cool

Found this on Conservative Thinking this morning. Adopt a soldier, help out buying cool scarves for our boys and girls sweating it out in Iraq.

Soldiers Angels We have heard from many deployed troops this week, everyone has the same thing to say,

IT IS HOT!! It is hard to think...

I would like to get cool scarf to every hero on our list, THE TEMPERATURES IN IRAQ ARE WELL OVER 100 DEGREES, and will stay that way till SeptemberÂ….

Â…We have over 12,000 heroes on this fourth deployment.

The scarves cost 1.20 and the shipping is 1.12, about 2.50 ea.
So in order to do this we need 25,000 dollars, not a small feat but these scarves help to keep their brains cool and offers comfort to our heroes.

Drop a picture of Mr. Lincoln and that covers two of our fine soldiers.

Personal note and update below the break.

Carry-on Bag Update: Pork Leather?

Packing update: In response to the many suggestions made by readers here about what I ought to take with me in my carry-on bag, just in case the fit hits the shan, the following thought occured to me:

Do they make a pig-skin leather? Because if they did, that would solve a lot of problems.

Pork dual action strangling /mujahidin repellent belt: check

Patent pig-skin leather 10 eyed steel-toed Dr. Martin's boots / hijacker club: check

Ham wristwatch band, with boomerang action and concealed strangling wires: check

What else am I still missing?

Update by Vinnie

Rusty, all you're missing are these in case you get wounded in battle. Thanks to Beth for that one.

You: .......

You: .......

Me: Wait, did I just say worshipping Allah?

WTW Barbecue

One of the ways Howie had been fighting high gas prices is I had a deep freeze full of deer. I had one big ass roast left. Monday I rested from a 64 hour week and celebrated my first death threat by having a glass of fine homemade wine and slapping that sucker on the Barbecue for 7 hours, tasty. Rick sends along summer barbecue rules for those of us that need refreshing. more...

Help Free Egyptian Bloggers

We've already brought you news that Egyptian blogger Alaa was arrested. Egyptian Sandmonkey makes the following suggestion to help:

We have started an e-mail campaign to the Egyptian embassies and the US State Department in order to push for his release, and have started protests in front of the Egyptian embassy and consulates in the US for his release. We will also hold protests in France, Italy and Gemany. We could use your help in getting the word out and sending them an e-mail demanding his release.

Addresses for the Egyptian embassies in the US and Canada are available here, templates for e-mails to be sent to the embassies here, and the contact information for the person to e-mail in the US state department is here. If you are a journalist or know one, help us spread the word by writing about this or demanding your local newspaper write about this. If you have a blog or a website and would like to raise awareness about this issue, banners for the Free Alaa campaign can be found here and here. We could use any help we can get, so if you have any ideas or ways to help us, please do.

He also notes:
Egypt has fewer than 830 bloggers all in all, 60 of whom are political and less than 30 are politically active. Now 6 of those are in jail - 20% of all politically active Egyptian bloggers - and amongst them one of Egypt's most highly profiled one.

Excuses Excuses

Howie is home feeling crappy this morning. Rusty, I expect will be along eventually with smashing news. Co-Bloggers have at it. Open trackbacks on this post if you can post them. They have been a bit flaky for some users lately.

Egyptian blogger Arrested

Via Rantings of a Sandmonkey:

Alaa, blogger, co-founder of the egyptian blog aggregator Manalaa and democracy activist, got arrested today during a protest to support the Judiciary's branch fight for independence. He, and about 10 others, were rounded up in the street, beaten up and thrown in a police car. Amongst those who got arrested were at least 3 girls, and the police beat up at least another 2 girls as wellÂ…

Â…I will be damned if we let the regime get away with this. So, readers, if things come to that, we will need your help. The Committe to protect bloggers is no more, we are on our own and the regime is getting more desperate, paranoid and brutal by the minute. We will most certainly need your support to get him out, but let's just hope it doesn't come to that.

Hat Tip: Tiger Hawk who has the contact information for the Egyptian Embassy

Comment Problem

Update: Working. For now.

My bad. Comments not working anywhere.

You can still leave a comment, but you'll have to click on the title of each post, then scroll down to the comments at the bottom of the individual post page.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but we're apparently under spam attack. I hope it's like a fatwa or something.
