My new toy!
How long has the Sony PSP been out now? About three years I think. I believe it came out in 2004. I finally managed to get one, I just had to wait it out until I could pick one up refurbished for $129.It's great! I got it from Tigerdirect.com, a great online shopping place for anything electronic! My wonderful wife bought me a 2gb memory stick duo card for it, and I picked up Madden NFL 07 just the other day. Now I can play my Colt's anytime, anywhere I want to. :D
Of course, not everything has been coming up roses the last few days. I decided just the other day that our refrigerator is on it's last leg. It's barely keeping stuff in the freezer frozen, and the fridge section is barely cool anymore. I just bought a replacement fridge from Bestbuy, but it won't be delivered for about another three weeks! So hopefully our fridge lasts that long, if not, I guess I'll be buying lots of ice from the supermarket and using styrofoam coolers until the new fridge gets here. I can't complain though, as the fridge we have now has lasted almost 17 years!

U.S. building walls, instead of tearing them down!
With very little fanfare, and no input from the people being "boxed in", the United States military have begun boxing in a sunni neighborhood "for their safety".
Story here at CNN
How would you like it if the military suddenly began building a wall around your neighborhood, complete with gates and security check-points. Would you feel safe, or would you feel like you're being locked up in a make-shift prison?
I for one would feel like a prisoner in my own home. Segregated from the rest of my supposedly "democratic" country because of my religious affiliation. Singled out because my faith was different than that of others who are more in favor with the ruling party...Gee! Wasn't that what we went into Iraq to stop in the first place?! Looks like things in Iraq have come full circle and are now right back where they started, it's just someone else in charge now, and someone new being supressed.

Green zone not so green....
Although the green zone in Baghdad is only 4 square miles, and the most heavily defended area in Iraq...terrorists have managed to smuggle in a suicide bomber into the cafeteria of the Iraqi parliment. Story here
How can we ( the U.S. ) be making forward strides in Iraq when we can't even deter attacks inside the most heavily guarded and fortified area of the country?

Alzheimer's ??
It would seem that our vice-president must be suffering from alzheimer's...or perhaps he's just suffering from "repeated propaganda syndrome"!
