George Allen is a jerk.
George Allen is a bully.
George Allen is a racist.
George Allen is a liar.
Well, at least, he's not an entirely honest person.
And, quite frankly, I'm starting to be suspicious of absolutely everything about this guy. Initially, I dismissed it as a bit of a stretch that George Allen might've named his son after the first Grand Wizard of the KKK. But you know what? Any parent thinks long and hard about naming their child. His son is named Forrest. He lives in Virginia. There is a Forest, VA, located in Bedford county, all named after the esteemed Conferederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest. He was also the first Grand Wizard of the KKK. I'd like to think that it's coincidence that George Allen named his kid Forrest, but I just...don't.

AAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG.
This is on the front page of washingtonpost.com, but I think it's probably not going to get the attention it deserves. Absolute proof that our government is holding and torturing innocent people, but you still wonder if anyone is going to be held accountable or if we'll just blame Canada.
And now Bush wants permission to "reinterpret" the Geneva conventions? Are you f'ing kidding me? There is absolutely no good reason WHY anyone should need to "reinterpret" them. Are we going to let other countries "reinterpret" them when they're holding US soldiers? Kudos to John McCain and Senator Warner for opposing this insanity, and %$#@ George Allen for being a mindless, blind, bigoted lackey.

I loss my first Jury Trial this week. The State did not give me a witness list and the Judge overruled my objection. My guy is in jail and the appeal is forth coming. More news from BFE Florida later.
Another update on Mrs. B's nephew -- here he is, from a few days ago.
The new digital camera kicks a**.
For those of you who have been anxiously awaiting another update on my adorable nephew, I can tell you that he is now putting together small sentences. Also, yesterday he built his first working single-engine aircraft.
A Public Service Announcement, for those of you who are local (or not)

From nature.com
I wonder if he'd be cool with repurposing the word "albedo," or any of the other countless astronomical terms that Microsoft Word's spellchecker doesn't recognize.
Owen Gingerich, an astronomer at Harvard University in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, and chair of the IAU committee that created the ['pluton'] definition, says that they were aware of its usage amongst geologists, but unaware of its importance to the field. "Since the term is not in the MS Word or the WordPerfect spell checkers, we thought it was not that common," Gingerich wrote in an e-mail to news@nature.com. The geologic definition of the word does appear in common dictionaries, including the Oxford English.

So we saw Snakes on a Plane. It's really good. You should see it. Unless you're my sister.
Let the word be spread throughout the land: Davis hath poop-ed in the potty.
And let there be much rejoicing!

Sorry, had to delete the science-quiz posts because they were messing up the blog and driving me crazy...
But, for your enjoyment - crazy bike. The video starts out slow, but quickly gets impressive.

Mrs. B forgot to mention that her nephew (my son) turned 20 months old 4 days ago. It would be a lot less impressive if he just turned 4.
