Back from Yellowstone

I just went to Yellowstone and saw thermal features, wolves hunting an elk, an elk chasing a wolf, a grizzly bear foraging, and too many waterfalls to count.

Nugs win!

The Denver Post’s Ben Hochman:

“This is a team of fighters. Martin was the first player to return from two microfracture knee surgeries; Dahntay Jones returned from the D-League and now starts in the NBA; Nene beat cancer; Chris Andersen beat substance abuse; Anthony and J.R. Smith are maturing in front of our patient eyes; and Billups, our homegrown warrior, bounced among four different franchises before finding himself in Detroit, and now he’s back in Denver, where the hoop dream started, and where he’s making another one come true.”

Jesse Ventura tells it like it is…

…and hopefully like it will be.

“I’ve got no respect for Dick Cheney. I’ve got tremendous respect for Colin Powell.”

P.S. I like the sound of Justice Ventura.

Torture?

Whoops

I guess I haven’t been in four states at once.

“Wake up, America! Why is this going on in America?”

I’ve traveled the U.S.-Mexico border extensively and a lot of Border Patrol agents are dimwitted unprofessional thugs. I know from experience. They have no clue about the Bill of Rights. They beat up a Baptist pastor for no reason a couple of days ago.

Good stuff.

The Obameter

This is a good site from the St Petersburg Times that tracks promises made and promises kept by Pres. Obama. So far he’s kept 26 but broken five. I’m concerned he do something about illegal wiretapping (promises #179 and #180), but so far there is no action.
