In the article about Judith Miller and her testimony about Valerie and Joe Wilson, there is a link to the bio and "voting record" of Joe Wilson. It is the WRONG Joe Wilson.

We may move from Colorado, USA, to Northampton, England this year. It seems terrorist activities are more apparent in the UK--or am I just getting the sensationalized versions of the stories? Bottom line, how concerned should I be for my family if we move (and it would of course be apparent that we are Americans)?

What a friend I have in Algebrand These rainy days in Swindon wouldn't be the same without him. The other day, Algebrand told me that if ants were the size of humans they could carry a 40-story skyscraper in their mandibles

Well, as you can imagine, Algebrand and I were as happy as a pair of boy scouts on a 60's Hiberian, orienteering expedition. How amusing it was to imagine our 40-story block of flats being plonked right in the middle of the Lake District, by a man-sized ant.

What a fantastic view! What a spectacle!

If this had been the end of the story I would have said no more but, just as we were finishing our Chamomile tea, we spotted a colony of man-sized, army ants swarming across the Swindon downs, and heading straight for us! Before we knew it, the entire town had been transported away and dumped into the North sea. Would you credit it! Who would have thought that ants were not only incredibly strong, but also had such exceedingly good taste.

It's just been reported that a British Muslim cell (Muslims, born and bread in the UK) were going to kidnap and behead a British soldier (who was home on leave from Iraq), film it and put it on the internet for the whole world to see. This was going to happen in Birmingham, Great Britain!
