Cat playing the piano and other things

Here's a funny link for those musically inclined. It is a cat playing the piano. Ah the hours one can waste will surfing YouTube.

I thought today I'd take a break from getting angry about the way the war is being conducted. But then all I have to do is ready the paper. This just came out about how Secretary Gates is extending the tour of all arny troops in Iraq and Afghanistan by three months. This will allow troops that have rotated back to the states to home for a full year. The idea is to make it more fair. How about figuring out a way to get people home for good. After all we don't have an open ended commitment as this administration has said over and over again.

And it seems the Duke lacrosse team members have had all charges dropped against them.
The North Carolina authorities said:

"We believe that these cases were the result of a tragic rush to accuse and a failure to verify serious allegations," he said.

Now there's an understatement if I ever heard one.

But you have to wonder who got the bright idea to invite strippers to a party. I mean isn't that just plain dumb.
