MOVED: CNN - "Did we do that?!"

@CWO: Here’s an odd historical footnote to the Syria situation, involving yesterday’s vote by the House of Commons on British Prime Minister David Cameron’s motion to authorize the principle of military strikes by Britain against Syria.  The “principle” part was a watering down of what Cameron originally wanted, which was the actual authorization to use force, but Cameron’s motion was nevertheless defeated by 285 votes to 272.  Cameron thus became the first British Prime Minister in 231 years to lose a Parliamentary vote on military action, the last one being Lord North, who, in 1782, saw Parliament vote against further fighting in the American Revolution and thus effectively concede independence to the American colonies. Well I never! Good to know. Thanks again Marc.

Shortly after Moses Bittok, of West Des Moines, took the oath of citizenship on Friday, he discovered he had a $1.89 million winning ticket from the Iowa Lottery’s Hot Lotto game. “It’s almost like you adopted a country and then they netted you $1.8 million,” Bittok said Monday as he cashed in his ticket. actually, it was more like $1.9 million

Bowling for Culumbine came out!

@LHoffman: @Gargantua: I found the tiger portion frustrating.�  I felt the Tiger could have easily shifted/braked a single track to maximize it’s turn radius, and that what we observed was just more Brad Pitt has to be a superstar syndrome. Seconded! I felt a little let down by it. I wanted the Tiger to be more of a drawn out enemy or challenge rather than some non-descript Boss that they get to defeat in 5 min. I think they did a good Job with BoB and the Tiger Scene (even though it was the same Tiger I on a T34 Chassis like in saving Ryan). He hidd, striked ,rolled out and cleared the field and retreated with the whole Battalion. Lot of things BoB showed was well performed. I like Band of Brothers. @Gargantua: Driving excavation machinery, your tracks are independent. And even so, better to “test/pressure” your track in the dirt, than die. Yeah with a T34 anytime, not so with a Tiger I&II. Bad Tiger commander Garg  :-D. Go get me Wittmann!!

Larry Harris=George Lucas. Great stuff, started something phenominal. Has to eff around with stuff that “aint’” necessarily broken. Not sure if Disney taking over Axis&Allies would be good or not. Just kiddin’ Larry, George Lucas sucks….mostly.
