More Songs to Make Love To

There's still plenty of love making going on, but no music experiments yet. I guess the list needs to be longer before I can test it out. Thanks to Mikostinko for suggestions in the original post. Once I have tried some of these out, I'll add a ranking column. . .won't that be fun?

Iraqis Blogging

This came in from Tula (Crab Casa Mama) today:

Here are some (supposedly legit) blogs by real Iraqis
living in Iraq. Obviously written by people who are
somewhat educated because they have access to a
computer and know English.

Read them in your spare time (heh). Very interesting,
but also hard to take...

In fight between python and gator, both lose - The Boston Globe

"The 13-foot-snake and 6-foot gator both wound up dead after apparently becoming locked in a gruesome struggle."

Hey, maybe this is a good thing. Hopefully these pythons will get REALLY GIANT and reclaim some of the underappreciated Everglades for mother nature!

Unconstitutional Prerequisite -- Judging Harriet Miers -- In These Times

Does anyone know if it's true that Bush had the unconstitutional prerequisite of faith in god for his two Supreme Court appointees? --

Judging Harriet Miers -- In These Times: "she passes Bush’s unconstitutional prerequisite that federal judges have a religious faith. Her former pastor told The New York Times, “Harriet has placed her faith in Jesus.” This type of religiosity has been required by Bush of all his appointees, though Article VI of the United States Constitution unambiguously provides that “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”"
