Where are we going in Libya?

  Does anyone know what our plans are in Libya? It seems as though there is a world wide push to overthrow Gaddafi. Nothing wrong with that but, I'm thinking that maybe a little more planning could have went into this operation. At this point we have no idea who the next leader of Libya would be. One thing that really worries me is that many of the fighters who came to Iraq to fight were linked to Al-Qaeda and came from eastern Libya. Can we be sure that we would not be handing them the nation of Libya? I wonder if this is why the U.S. is so willing to hand over control to Nato. I fear that after the initial fight and war to rid them of Gaddafi there would be yet a second fight and war to rid them of Al-Qaeda. I'm sure the worlds intelligence organizations are already working on this and so far they have not called me to ask my opinion but I'm expecting that phone call any minute. haha. Anyway I just really hope that we have this all planned out a lot better than what is being portrayed on the news. I hope that Libya has a sane leader in it somewhere that can stand up and do something better for the people than what they have had in the past.

Barry Bonds thought he was taking flax seed oil in the butt?

 I don't know where to begin here. You'd think a guy who was into his own personal health and fitness his whole life would know that they make pills for that. And doesn't every strait man on the planet feel some sort of responsibility for knowing exactly what, if anything is going into his butt? This guy goes to court and basically says, Ummm I'm not sure what my trainer was sticking in my butt. I don't buy it.

Why are people so afraid of nuclear radiation?

 No one wants to end up looking like the hot dog that you put into the microwave for to long. You know the one. Exploded on one or both ends, dry and dark and crispy. The one you would throw away if you weren't so drunk and hungry. The dogs looking at you like "wow and I thought my food was bad".

Fortunately for us we are not hotdogs and we're not getting nuked anytime soon. But, you can't tell that to the many thousands of people who are scared to death that Japan's nuclear problem is going to COME GET US. The fact is that it's not going to come get us. We are around radiation every single day. And many area's of the world have enough natural radiation that a nuclear plant could not even be built there because the natural radiation is already higher than that which would be acceptable around a nuclear plant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_radiation This wikipedia article has quite a bit of information.

Still all these people are out buying there anti-nuke pills and many of those people are probably taking them too. Not that I'm saying it's a bad idea to be prepared but you have to honestly look at the dangers present and react accordingly. The US is saying that it would like people to stay 50 miles from the plant for safety reasons. I don't have the exact numbers but I'm pretty sure our west coast is ummmmm atleast 50 miles away. Or maybe 5478 miles. We're not going to get anything that can cook a hotdog here in the United States. my advice is to calm down and put your wieners in the microwave.

Libya, are ya kidding me?

 I hope we learn something from this. We go into Iraq, don't finish the job and have to go back. We bomb the hell out of Afghanistan when Clinton was president and then we had to go back. In the '80s we bomb the hell out of Libya and guess what? We're going back. I know all 3 situations were different but come on there's one theme ringing through here. If a nation,regime,dictator or whoever pisses us off bad enough that we have to bomb them. Then make sure the job get's finished the first time. People don't change they just go back and regroup. Not to mention smoke more crack and get even more screwed up. If it's not worth finishing it's not worth starting. Don't bomb the crap out of a place to send a message. These people get the message about as well as American criminals do after they get out of jail in 6 months for robbing a bank. (That's another blog on a slow news day, trust me.)

I'm not even sure what kind of drugs Muammar Gaddafi is on. His country rises up against him and the world is supporting them, and him in all his mighty wisdom, not to mention by this time he's got two rocks of crack and 6 beers in him while sitting in front of his computer watching internet porn with his wiener in his hand, says "Kill them all, even the civilians."  Sarah Palin could probably do a better job with that country. I don't know it would depend on what kind of mood her husband was in but still she couldn't be much worse.

Anyway in all honesty I hope this conflict goes well with minimal loss of life and I hope the people of Libya will take a just say no stance on drug use from now on.

Dayton, Ohio Police and Fire lower test requirements.

 I've noticed lately that the City of Dayton has been in the national news for lowering the testing requirements for it's officers and firefighters. It seems that the U.S. Dept of Justice felt like not enough African-Americans were passing the exam. This after the city already remade the test and lowered the scores. Now a recruit who get's a 58% can pass.

As a resident of Dayton I certainly don't feel any safer. I feel this is wrong on so many levels. First is public safety. The dept, of Justice feels like my family's safety and well being are less important than who gets a job and who doesn't?

Second if I were a minority in Dayton I would feel insulted that the Justice dept. thought I was essentially to stupid to pass a test..

Anyway I just wondered if anyone else had any other viewpoints on the issue.
