A man was recently arrested by the cops on a highway outside of Cairns Australia with a Blood alcohol reading of 0.301. the individual was traveling to his friends house in his wheelchair when he fell asleep in the middle of the highway.

Sounds like his guardian angels were working overtime saving him from not only alcohol poisoning, but also from being hit by other drivers.

I have taken up running since I started working as a contractor here in Baghdad, and I have discovered a few tips along the way. If you are a jogger and you ever decide to take a jog in Iraq or the Middle East, here are some things I have discovered that may make your run more enjoyable.

Some days you just miss home.
I have been in Iraq now for over 7 months. I came over here as a contractor with L-3/MPRI to make money and get a jump on my career, because the job interviews back home just were not coming in.
Unfortunately, it looks like I came just in time. With the economy going in the toilet like it is, and the cost of everything going through the roof, I just dont know how we would have made it even had I gotten work.

Debka File issued this report.  I guess my first question is what took them so long? Second question. How effective are they really gonna be?

So, I get my travel orders today for my one year job contract in Iraq. As I read through the travel orders I notice that it says only one bag and the bag must be 70 pounds or less BUT on some airlines it is 50 pounds, so you need to check with your airline. Since I am familiar (all to familiar) with a little known law called “Murphys Law” I figured the prudent thing for me to do is call my airline well in advance and check to see what my max pounds are.

So, the battery on my girlfriends 2000 VW Beetle went dead last week due to human error (I will not post names to protect myself the innocent). As a result of this when the car comes back on you are now sans tunes which is of course unacceptable. So, in an effort to help her get her radio working again, I turned first of all to the owners manual, which tells you to look at the card in the front of the manual for some reset number. Well, of course after 3 owners (she is the fourth) who would expect the card to be their, and it wasnt.

I know that MSNBC was trying to give this story a catchy tagline. But in no way do I consider this cat a Grim Reaper.

I firmly believe that animals perceptive capabilities are way above and beyond humans. And they also tend to provide comfort to others in a time of need.

In the article MSNBC states that this cat predicts patients deaths by curling up next to them in their final hours. I see this as God stepping in and providing these people with a gift that todays medical personnel are just not able to provide to their patients.

See the article here.

Debka File released an article today found here  about a 15 ton bunker buster the military is deploying.  Looks like this weapon has been built  for the sole purpose of penetrating Irans deep underground Nuke  facilities. Insane technology if you askme.

Lets just hope it never has to be deployed.

He jumped in front of a Rattlesnake and saved a 1 year old little boy from being bit.

What a big heart for such a little dog. It is great that the story ends happily with this little trooper surviving.

Story is here.

I uhmm dont know what to say. I am kind of speechless at the moment and hurt beyond belief.

My girlfriend was just down at the Grays Harbor Fairgrounds to pick up her son from day camp. Originally I was going to go, but at the last minute she stepped in and went, and she took our little dog Wesley with her. She went inside to get her son and it took a little longer than expected (about 10 minutes). When she came out Wesley was no where to be seen.

Unfortunaltely no one saw anything (of course). We called the police, they can do nothing (no surprise, although this is not their fault in anyway, and how do you justify tracking down a dog when much more serious crimes are taking place).

My girlfriend is tearing herself apart right now because she left the car unlocked. I feel so bad for her because even though I have told her it is ok and we all do it, it still does not make the hurt go away.

Wesley Laverne, we are gonna miss you buddy. Your mom is out there tearing up the roads looking high and low for you. I wish that I could feel confident you were coming home my friend. All I can ask is that God will watch over you and love you as much he promises to love all his creatures.

You have brought this family nothing but joy. I have always had a soft spot in my heart for animals Wes, and you found an extremely special place in this heart of mine . I am not trying to give up on you buddy, but I dont know where to begin to look my friend. We feel like someone in all of their vindictiveness took you out of your moms car and dumped you somewhere. It is hard for us knowing that you are out their somewhere hungry and wet. Just remember, we will do whatever can to find you that is possible.

We love ya Wes
