Speaking of "biblical" stuff:
Drudge is snarky this morning, headlining this story...
Resistance is futile Blog quotes Shelley....
luckily for the President, most Americans don't know poetry, but one comment on anther story quoted the song Dust in the Wind. and another quoted Matthew chapter 7...
----------------------------------------
if you really want to be snarky, here is a question for you: Why is Hillary 12000 miles away trying to make nice with China,or, as the Manila Bulletin headline says,:
Dividing Up The Pacific
Clinton: Region Big Enough For US, China
Uh, over here, Hillary: You know, VietNam? Malaysia? the Philippines? Do we have a say in the matter?

The really worrisome news of the day: An outbreak in pig influenza in humans...in the US midwest....
-----------------------------------The new strain is known as H3N2v; the “v” is for “variant.” Thus far, it has proved no more deadly than seasonal flu and can be suppressed by Tamiflu and Relenza, the most common flu drugs.Its origins are complex. It contains external genes (H for hemagglutinin and N for neuraminidase) that jumped from humans to pigs in the 1990s and circulated in them separately from the seasonal human H3N2. But it also contains one internal gene (the M for matrix) from the 2009 H1N1 pandemic flu that circled the globe and was very infectious but not very lethal.
Peace in our time?
The rebels in the central African civil war agree to lay down their arms.
and FARC is talking with the gov't in Colombia...
of course, war will probably break out somewhere else, but every little bit helps, and both these wars have killed (mainly from disease) or displaced hundreds of thousands of civilians.

This study shows coconut oil helps against Alzheimer's disease.
good news for us, because that's what our cook uses to fry food. (even the veggies are first quick fried in the wok before she adds water and stock to boil them into "ulam", the main stew that we add to the rice on our plate)...
Coco oil was considered dangerous until a year or two ago when they actually started doing good studies on it's use.

Mass coronal ejection due to hit Sept 3...
it won't hit directly so it should be okay.
the headsup is Father Z, who also is being snarky in this morning's Latin lesson.
