I just posted my first link to LGF linkage, and it couldn’t be more appropriate for teleskiguy! It’s a really cool article from The Guardian about skiing in Afghanistan. I urge my fellow snow-enthusiast lizards to check it out.
Oh yeah, LGF Linkage is pretty fucking cool, I think! Thanks Charles for such a classy blog!

Gates: Hezbollah has more rockets than most governments in the world
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said on Tuesday that Hezbollah has more missiles than most governments in the world, during a joint press conference with Defense Minister Ehud Barak in Washington.“Syria and Iran are providing Hezbollah with so many rockets that they are at a point where they have more missiles than most governments in the world,” said Gates.
Barak told reporters that Syria was transferring weapons systems to Hezbollah and that Israel is closely watching the developments, though he assured Israel did not plan to provoke a conflict.

Mr Chavez speaks to the nation for hours every Sunday on his radio and television program but on Twitter he will be limited to much shorter messages of just 140 characters each time.His use of Twitter also marks a new tactic in his approach to the internet and social networking.
In January Mr Chavez said that using Twitter, the internet and text messaging to criticise his regime was “terrorism.”
He has now decided to use the social networking tool for his own purposes.
“Comandante Chavez is going to open his Twitter account soon to wage the battle online,” Diosdado Cabello, director of Venezuela’s state-run telecommunications agency, said on Venezuelan television, according to Bloomberg News.
“I’m sure he’ll break records for numbers of followers.”
Mr Chavez is the latest leader to start using Twitter. US President Barack Obama has nearly 3.8 million followers on the social networking tool.

City workers banned from official travel to Arizona
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom announced today a moratorium on official city travel to Arizona after the state enacted a controversial new immigration law that directs local police to arrest those suspected of being in the country illegally.
The ban on city employee travel to Arizona takes effect immediately, although there are some exceptions, including for law enforcement officials investigating a crime, officials said. It’s unclear how many planned trips by city workers will be curtailed.
The move comes amid a cascade of criticism of Arizona’s law, which has been denounced by civil rights groups, some police officials and President Obama, who said it threatens to “undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans.” Legal challenges are being weighed to overturn it.
San Francisco’s move comes as the Board of Supervisors introduced non-binding resolutions calling for comprehensive immigration reform and a boycott of Arizona because of the new law, which requires police to try to determine the immigration status of anyone they reasonably suspect of being in the country illegally. There are also online boycott campaigns calling for everything from a boycott of the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball team to the Grand Canyon.
Can he do that?

The more I think of this idea, the more I like it.
Arizona could charter planes and fly illegals “free of charge” to sanctuary cities. Drop them off at the airports and let the sanctuary cities get them where they need to go.
They could also offer to fly American Citizens back to Phoenix for free (for tourism purposes, people’d have to pay for hotels and food and stuff) and give them free commercial vouchers back to SF… (if they wanted to go back home.)

My favorite movie quote of all time, from the movie Major League.

Ricky: Name one
Jake: Yellowstone
Why is that my favorite? Because a) it’s funny as hell, and b) it was in the previews, but not in the actual movie. I never understood that, but it’s funny as hell, in a postmodern kind of way.

Concur. Drones will give us expanded recon and counterstrike options. If cartel scum attack our troops and cops or attack Mexico’s soldiers and law enforcement, drones will offer a way to turn their getaway vehicles into funeral pyres.
