I do believe that it's the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel. I do believe that it defies physics that World Trade Center tower 7 - building 7, which collapsed in on itself - it is impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved. World Trade Center 7. World Trade [Center] 1 and 2 got hit by planes - 7, miraculously, the first time in history, steel was melted by fire. It is physically impossible. -- Rosie O'Donnell, managing to surprise blacksmiths the world over

Welcome aboard, Helo!

We have a new Author joining us to take Steve’s position (although no one could ever take your place, Steve!), going by the ‘nym “Helo”.

He was looking for an outlet to vent and I read a bit of his stuff, and thought he would fit in nicely here at the Rant.

So everyone wish him a hearty Welcome Aboard, and try not to scare him off too soon. Okay?

Update: His e-mail address is helo(at)drumwaster(dot)com.

My Two Cents

Over the past week and half I have been hounded by my students with regards to the situation surrounding Terry Schiavo.  Some of my more right leaning students (I do have a few, I live in Northern Colorado afterall) view my position (which I will get to in a moment) as morally repugnant.  Some of my left leaning students (I have a few of those as well, this is, after all, a university setting we are talking about here) almost champion my position.

For those of you who can’t guess what my position is well here it is:

It’s over, let her go for God’s sake

My one overriding concern during this circus (and it is/was a circus) is that the law, as written, was followed.  And I have not seen nor heard anything that would indicate to me that the law was not followed.  Judge Greer did, in my opinion, a yeoman’s job in making sure that the law was correctly interpreted in this case, the applicable law in this case being the one John outlined in his excellent first post about this subject.

Does that change my opinion about what is happening to Terry as being morally repugnant?  No.

But you know what they say about opinions…

Happy Easter!

I would like to wish you all a very Happy Easter. For those pagans out there, you probably remember Easter as being the day when the Easter Bunny hops out of his hole to lay his eggs, but if he sees his shadow, we have six more weeks of Lent.

For those a little more religiously inclined, may He watch over you and keep you safe. Happy Easter to all of you and Happy Purim to our Jewish brethren (and sistren).
