Kent State Still  in Denial over Terrorist Professor

kent.gifIt’s been a couple of weeks since reports of a Kent State University professor with ties to a jihadi website were in the news. Recall that this guy posted our animated 9/11 tribute graphic on his terrorist website. What happened to this guy? Is there still any investigation going on into this treasonous academic?

Global Conservative has kept on top of this story despite it’s disappearance from national news outlets. Also, The Jawa Report posted follow-up article on March 6th regarding Kent State’s continued denial about the jihadi professor in their midst.

A Yellow Ice Plant Blossom

When the sunlight hits them, these ice plant blossoms open their vibrant petals for all to see. The ice plant is commonly used as ground cover and to stabilize slopes. Originating in South Africa, large cells in the leaves of these plants sparkle like granules of ice in the sun, hence its common name. I photographed this flower blooming in the garden shop over the weekend.

Freckled Azaleas

Azaleas, the aristocrats of indoor bloomers, provide a mass of flowers that can be white, red, orange, pink, purple, salmon, freckled, variegated, bicolored or white with colored edges.

These are the white freckled variety seen today at the garden shop.

Gore’s Offsets

gore-fatAfter seeing pictures and interviews after Al Gore received his academy award, I couldn’t help but notice that the champion of the Greenbats has gained considerable weight. As a proponent of the health of the globe, Mr. Gore should realize the risks of being overweight, especially as a senior citizen. Perhaps he can buy some CALORIE OFFSETS that will work as effectively as purchasing carbon offsets.

D.C. Circuit Court Hands Down Significant Victory for Individual Second Amendment Rights!

Friday, March 09, 2007

Fairfax, VA- The District of Columbia Circuit Court today affirmed that the Second Amendment of the Constitution protects an inherent, individual right to bear arms. Today’s ruling should have a positive impact on the current D.C. gun ban, the National Rifle Association is fighting to overcome.

The majority opinion of the court states, “[T]he phrase ‘the right of the people,’ when read intratextually and in light of Supreme Court precedent, leads us to conclude that the right in question is individual.” The majority opinion sums up its holding on this point as follows: The D.C. Circuit Court went further in upholding individual freedoms, rejecting the claim that the Second Amendment does not apply to the District because it is not a State.

The D.C. City Council is expected to appeal the ruling.

It’s going to be interesting to see how this one works it’s way up through the appeal process.
