Saturday Morning Tidbits

Cripes! 9', 500 lb dead shark washed up on the beach in Corpus Christi, TX. Holy moly!!

A 22 year old Rockford IL man who had recently converted to Islam was arrested yesterday and charged with planning to "... commit acts of violent jihad against targets in the United States as well as commit other crimes." Apparently, the plan began with an attack on 12/22, the Friday before Christmas, when he was to set off hand grenades at a shopping mall.

Great. Home grown nut jobs. Wonderful. However, major kudos to the FBI for thwarting yet another terrorist plot.

Captain Ed has some choice words to say about this as well.

You would not think it possible that there could be any remaining "unpublished" photographs of Marilyn Monroe. However, there are.... well, there "were." They have now been published and you can see them by following the link on this page.

UPDATE: The Cowboy has finally left for work after two days "off", so now I can finish my morning post.

Big Lizards has a great post about the ACLU suing Donald Rumsfeld et al "...as individuals.... for exercising their normal official duties." Brilliant post. Also worth mentioning again, is the Big Lizards analysis of the Iraq Study Group Report. Again, brilliant!

Cowgirl out.
