Remarkable row across the Atlantic - half way point reached!

Ned Hamson says:

Trying to swim from Cuba to USA once captivated public - but row the Atlantic alone - Pure moxie to the tenth power! Time to dance a little dance with Katie at her halfway point - you go girl!

Day 37 — Halfway

1,230 miles away from the nearest land, 36 days without seeing another human being, and I just might be in one of the most remote places on the planet aside from the North and South Pole.

Atlantic beauty

So how does it feel to be smack dab in the middle of an ocean? Well, it’s the same limitless sky, same deep blue waters, same endless horizon, while sitting in the same bright yellow rowboat. But today, no sunset or wildlife could be more exciting than seeing the half-way point tick by on my GPS.

On health care: ‘Finish the kitchen’

If President Obama gets to sign a health-reform bill, as I believe he will, one reason may be Rep. Jay Inslee’s difficult experience renovating his kitchen.

He told his kitchen story at a House Democratic caucus after Republican Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts sent Inslee’s colleagues into paroxysms of dismay, chaos and fear.
And then he recounted all the grief he and his family went through while work on their kitchen renovation dragged on and on and on.
But eventually, the job got done. “And now I love that kitchen,”
Inslee looked at his colleagues and declared: “We’ve got to finish the kitchen.” Read more at www.washingtonpost.com

Busy Meeting for Senate Judiciary Committee

Ned Hamson says:

Makes you wonder, how they keep track of things themselves when such a mix of issues is scheduled for one meeting. My guess is that if any one of us were running this committee, we’d make things a bit clearer for members and public to follow.

34 years imprisoned - Reason? Being Strong

Ned Hamson says:

Even if he was guilty, if he had not been a strong Native American, he'd have been out of prison by now. As it happens, he is more than likely innocent of the crime he was charged with - but government at the time wanted a fall guy and to send American Indian Movement a message. And now, as is usually the case, the government and those retired from government hat... read more

34 years. It doesn’t even sound like a real number to me. Not
when one really thinks about being in a jail cell for that long.
Surely
the only place people are unjustly imprisoned for 34 years is in
far away lands, books or fairy tales.
Don’t give up. Not ever. Stay in this fight with me. Suffer
with me. Grieve with me. Endure with me. Believe with me. Outlast
with me. And one day, celebrate freedom with me. Hoka hey!

In the Spirit of Crazy Horse,

USDA Oxymoron: wildlife, hunting and conservation

Ned Hamson says:

When you need to cover your behind, you appoint a council that makes it look like you are being participative - and you attach the word conservation so it doesn't appear that you are in favor of killing anything that crawls, flies, swims or runs and maybe even hops, just because you can and you tak epleasure in killing things to make you fell BIG!

Soviet Lessons From Afghanistan
By MIKHAIL GORBACHEV

What began after Sept. 11, 2001, as a seemingly appropriate military response aimed at rooting out terrorism could end in a major strategic failure.

In 1979, the Soviet leadership sent troops to Afghanistan, justifying that move not just by the desire to help friendly elements there but also by the need to stabilize a neighboring country. The greatest mistake was failing to understand Afghanistan’s complexity — its patchwork of ethnic groups, clans and tribes, its unique traditions and minimal governance.

Can’t Control Anything so why not try to harness Twitter - dumb!

Ned Hamson says:

Hola Mexico - recuerda CELL PHONES. If you somehow knocked criminals off of Facebook, Twitter and My Space, duh, they’d just go back to cell phones or to using kids as lookouts. Think again.

Mexico considers regulating Twitter, raising freedom concerns

Twitter users in Mexico City have angered authorities by tweeting the locations of roadside Breathalyzer checkpoints, and kidnappers and drug traffickers are using Facebook and MySpace to communicate. Federal lawmakers have responded by proposing a bill to restrict social networking sites and to create a police force to monitor them, GlobalPost reports.

Egypt Gets Smart on Preventing Flu

Ned Hamson says:

All avian flu is passed through contact with feces, urine, and sweat. Ending the crowded live markets cuts down contact between birds and birds and people, as well as mutation of the influenza. If Indonesia, Viet Nam, Cambodia, India, and China would do the same - all influenza would plummet!
