We Will Be Met As Liberators
A British military helicopter crashed in Basra on Saturday [probably killing four], and Iraqis hurled stones at British troops and set fire to three armored vehicles that rushed to the scene. Clashes broke out between British troops and Shiite militias, police and witnesses said . . . .
British forces backed by armored vehicles rushed to the area but were met by a hail of stones from the crowd of at least 250 people, who jumped for joy and raised their fists as a plume of thick smoke rose into the air from the crash site. The crowd set three British armored vehicles on fire, apparently with gasoline bombs and a rocket-propelled grenade, but the soldiers inside escaped unhurt, witnesses said.

Lunch Time Thoughts
- I wonder why the CIA director, Porter Goss, just announced his resignation.
- I wonder why the lady in front of me at Quizno's got so frustrated with her purse that she had to exclaim "fiddlesticks!!!"
- I wonder why I giggled at the term "fiddlesticks"
- Didn't a lot of high school girls softball teams play a game in the playoffs last night? I wonder why I haven't heard the scores.
- House Rep. Patrick Kennedy may or may not have been drunk two nights ago in Washington, but I'm amazed we can all look at the police report in less than 48 hours.
- I hate the sound of Harley's (but here's a funny Harley v. Honda page).
- Time Waste: Drive a car on the autobahn. Change lanes by using the forward/backward arrow keys on your keyboard. Hiliarity ensues.

Don't look now, but your Texas Rangers are in first place having gone 15-5 over the last 20 games.
And Kevin Millwood pitched a complete game last night.

Kinda Interesting
We Have Short Memories
Of all the hubbub about the jury giving a life sentence to Zacarias Moussaoui, I haven't seen a single story about an incident that was all over the news three months ago.
As you may recall, government lawyer Carla Martin emailed trial transcripts to potential witnesses in violation of the trial judge orders. "To repair the damage, [Judge] Brinkema excluded six witnesses from the trial and barred testimony about aviation security, virtually gutting half of the prosecution's case," as CNN put it.
I don't know if those witnesses would have impacted the jury's decision, but it's worth discussing. Or not.

United 93 (Encore)
I've had about five days to think about the movie. New conclusion: I may put it in my Top 10 of all time.
There's just something so different about it. WBAP's Mark Davis put it quite well in his column in the Morning News:
There is no . . . Hollywood star to be found in the cockpit or in any passenger seat. There is no hokey back story taking us to the night before as some passenger feeds his dog or jogs in Central Park. The brilliance of United 93 is that we as viewers don't know any more about these passengers than if we had been on the plane with them . . . .
We are in the cabin when four hijackers – portrayed not as the cartoonish villains Hollywood usually fashions, but as nervous yet committed warriors for terror – storm the cockpit, killing the pilot and co-pilot.
Go see it.

Speaking Of Hot Teachers

That Explains It
"A 17-year-old girl remains in serious condition in a St. Louis hospital after lying semi-conscious in pouring rain in some woods for 30 hours with a broken neck . . . . The St. Clair County, Illinois, Sheriff's Department is holding an acquaintance of the girl, 26-year-old driver's ed teacher Samson Shelton, who's charged with kidnapping and attempted murder . . . .Auhorities say Shelton is a wannabe pro wrestler and country line dancer at night."

So you are a 30 something year old woman who decides to have sex with your 14 year old stepson. Let's complicate matters and have the woman get pregnant and give birth.
With all of the "hot teachers" in the news these days, what type of sentence do you think she would get in Tyler, Texas? The range is a maximum of 20 years and a minimum of probation.
Let's have her represented by famous East Texas lawyer "Scrappy" Holmes.
