Let Them Rot in Solitary for Life
So the terrorists that attacked the US on 9/11 want to die for their cause at the hands of US militar justice? I hope the military tribunal does not give them this satisfaction but rather locks them up in solitary confinement at a Federal supermax prision for the rest of their lives. Just keep them in a small cell, no TV, no religious materials, maybe a magazine or two but that is it. The last thing we want to do is allow these cowards to become the rallying cry for their causes.
So please, make Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and these criminals serve their time in prison alone, locked away from the world that they so desperately want to manipulate. That is what they truly deserve.
Randy Pausch: Probably the Coolest Guy Ever
I think this is probably one of the most inspirational and at the same time sad things I have ever seen, and while it may repeat itself hundreds of times across the globe each year, to see someone that is so young and with such a young family. So far Randy has been doing very well and exceeded his doctor's expectations which I hope he continues to do for a long time. But even if this is not the case, I would recommend everyone take a look at his last lecture at CMU to see what it really takes to be satisfied when you know you have lived your life to the fullest.
S.M.U. Makes It Official: Bush Library Is Coming – New York Times
DALLAS — A center devoted to the life, works, papers and policies of President George W. Bush will be built at Southern Methodist University, officials announced Friday, despite faculty members’ lingering concerns and opposition from some Methodists.
In addition to a library of presidential papers, the center here will include a museum and a public policy institute that will generally be independent of the university, though it will appoint at least one board member.
Money for the center, which is expected to cost more than $200 million, is to be raised from donors.
S.M.U. Makes It Official: Bush Library Is Coming - New York Times
I am so glad I did not go to SMU, if I had, I probably would hand my degree back right about now. Why would anyone want to put up a library dedicated to one of the worst rated presidents of all time? I guess you could store all of his documents in there so future generations could see what happens when people continue to make bad decisions both in elections and in the white house.
Thank you SMU, for never letting us forget the some of the worst times it has been to be an American when we have been universally laughed at by the world community, had terrible domestic policies and had such a divided country that nothing got done to make things any better.
