Score: Terrorist 6, Freedom ???

How come everytime I hear a report about an attack in Iraq, all I hear are the good people casualties. Seems like some of the bad guys must go down once in a while, too.

Interesting View of Today's News

Here's a little piece about the past and maybe the future from Glenn Reynolds (Remember Chandra Levy?). Inside is a link about our carrier battle group converging on the Middle East:

Three carrier battle groups are converging on the Persian Gulf. The aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson has departed Singapore and is currently crossing the Indian Ocean, en route to the Middle East. The aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt is also on the move, crossing the Atlantic Ocean, reportedly headed toward the Mediterranean.

Reports are also circulating that the U.S. Navy has dispatched ships containing nuclear armaments to reinforce the battle groups. This will be the first time since February 2004 that the U.S. has had three major carrier groups stationed on or around the Middle East.

Show or force, or impending use of force?

Still Astonished

Do the lifers believe living wills should be legal? From the arguments I heard, all stemming from "life is precious", I can't imagine how they could supports such a document. Isn't it tantamount to assisted suicide? The Republican outrage just seems so abnormal.

Again, I was thinking about the rights bestowed upon a spouse. What about divorce? Aren't there guidelines around spousal responsibility, and due process? They each get half. Who says, now? Maybe my family hires big time lawyers and my ex-wife gets zilch. Or less! The right wing is treading in some deep water here. And I can only believe it's pandering. It can only be political. It's shameful. And disgraceful.

Stay outa my life!

I am embarrassed to have to write about this. I'm embarrassed that people think that they belong in this conversation. I'm ashamed of congress for getting involved. This is none of anyone's business other than the family’s'.

Doesn't the law bestow upon the spouse guardian rights? Doesn't this rights cover many aspects of married life? Isn't this one of the rights gays are fighting to get in marriage? I hope so. I hope my wife is my guardian. I married her to be my life. She is my life. She makes the decisions for me if I can't make these decisions. I trust her with my life. So don't take that away from me. And don't take away her right to her inheritance. Don't take away her right to my 401k benefits or my IRA funds. And all of the other inalienable rights bestowed upon a spouse. If this case becomes precedence, what's to keep others from getting involved in all of these other situations? And how far do we go in allowing involvement? Immediate kin? One degree of separation? Or two if the first degree is suspicious or lives an "immoral" lifestyle? A nationwide ballot question?

I'm not happy that we're talking about this case. I'm very sad. And it’s sad that there are people who are thriving on this moral dilemma. That this is some philosophical, hypothetical scenario. A humorous "would you rather..." game. This is about a husband making a decision for his wife. He may be a bad guy. He may have ulterior motives. He may be trying to finally fulfill he wife's wishes. We don't know. And we shouldn't care. This isn't about whether Terri is conscious, has responsive, or in a vegetative state. This is about a spouses right; a spouses responsibility to act for their partner.

"Bush was Right." From the Globe!

Jeff Jacoby of the globe isn't afraid to ask this question.

I've been thinking it for a while. I think it started to set in at Ukraine, then the Palestinians (whether it's legitimate or not you can decide). But when I heard about Lebanon, I felt my perceptions were right. I am a realist, though. This is a long road to hoe. And not all will be steps forward. The Cedar revolution may not stick. Only time will tell. But the bottom line is, paper always coversrock.

Suggestion for removing stink from microwave

Although we've never had to remove a pecific stink from our mircowave, this is what we use for cleaning. Easy-Off Microwave Wipes. You put them in and turn microwave and they expand and pop and cleaner goes throughout the microwave. When it's done, you open it up and wipe it out. Hope this helps!

Cardioversion

From Heart Center Online: (free subscription necessary)

Also known as electrical cardioversion, cardioversion converts certain types of abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) to normal ones. It accomplishes this with a well-controlled and perfectly timed electrical shock to the chest wall. Cardioversion is usually performed on a scheduled, outpatient basis, but is sometimes done in emergency situations. During the procedure, the patient will not feel any pain because he or she has received either general anesthesia or a strong sedative. The procedure has shown great success in correcting arrhythmias (e.g.atrial fibrillation) that have not improved with medication alone. Patients do, however, need to continueantiarrhythmic drugs after cardioversion.

While having some similarities to defibrillation, cardioversion differs in its use of much lower electricity levels. Cardioversion may also be done through medication instead of an electrical shock.
