A man caught fire and died (though not from the fire) during surgery.
Follow Up On The Mosque
Some commenters in this post (and over at Little Green Footballs) are (unaccountably, to me) skeptical about Laura Mansfield’s tale of the mosque. I emailed her to ask if she wanted to respond, and she wrote:
I did not provide details as to the location of the mosque or the date of the visit simply for safety reasons. They do not have my full name. However if I provide the date and the name/location of the mosque I might as well walk back in, hand the imam a copy of the article, and wait for the backlash.
I do not have the weight of a governmental agency behind me; I have had to redact certain information for security purposes.
Let me also add that the sessions were audiotaped – not broadcast quality but certainly understandable.
I suspected that was the situation, as I noted in previous comments. People will, of course, continue to believe (and disbelieve) as they choose.
Another Gun Control Tragedy
Perhaps we should extend National Self-Defense Day to make it a two-day holiday. April 20th is the anniversary of the killer rabbit incident. The poor defenseless president had nothing but a canoe paddle.
Springtime In Oklahoma
Sometimes that state just has more weather than it can hold. These are awesome pictures.
I Hate When That Happens
A rogue iceberg broke Antarctica. Way to go, H2O.
I guess it’s just one more deadly hazard to add to the long list.
Virgin Galactic Taking Deposits
I don’t know if they read this or not, but Virgin Galactic appears to be taking money.
I got the following link in an email confirmed for all to see here.
Go quick. $20,000 refundable deposit only costs about $1200 in interest costs at today’s money market rates. No word if the deposits are transferrable.
A New Day Of Remembrance?
I Want A Cage Match
A rabbi and a Nazi duked it out at the Kansas City Airport.
[Update at 3:40 PM]
Maybe this was just a little replay of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, which today is also the anniversary of (sixty two years ago). An interesting coincidence that we have two anniversaries today demonstrating that gun confiscation is a flawed policy. Well, three, actually, if you count Waco.
[Wednesday AM update]
LGF has more details about the airport incident.
And Lest We Forget
In addition to being the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, and the Oklahoma City bombing, it’s also the twelth anniversary of Waco (which was probably one of the precipitating events for Oklahoma City).
White Smoke
For a(nother) white pope. So much for my prognostication.
