Breakfast Scramble

DavidL's Breakfast Scramble

The Luck of the Irish, Democrat and Chronicle [1]:

Some attendees at Saturday’s St. Patrick’s Day parade have come for years; for others, it was a first experience. But all said braving the cold and wind to see leprechauns, Irish dancing and bagpipe performances was worth it.

It seem, as for a parades go, it usually better to Itailain in Rochester than Irish.   The Irish have the darnest luck with their parade.  Then mid Mach is late winter in Rochester, and attmpting an winter time parade can be hazardous here.   It does seem that more often as note, that a Saint Patrick Day parade here means of bliizzard.  When this year Irish Eyss were smiing the weahter was cooperative for a change.

Sermon from the Elevator?  Daily Adveriser [2]:

Every Catholic child grew up with the list of seven deadly sins that could lead the faithful disastrously astray. They included lust, gluttony and greed. The Vatican has issued a new list of deadly sins, based in part on changing technology and the modern social climate.

Sure Barack!

March 14 (Bloomberg [3]) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama [4] says he “vehemently” rejects comments made by the longtime spiritual adviser and pastor of his Chicago church, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright [5] Jr.

“I vehemently disagree and strongly condemn the statements that have been the subject of this controversy,” Illinois Senator Obama said in a statement today.

Reuters [6] is blowing smoke, in attributing a Pakistani attack on al Qaeda to US forces.    Note the narrative:

The intelligence official said four missiles were fired at the house in Shahnawaz Kheil Dhoog, a village near the town of Wana in the South Waziristan region on the Afghan border, just after 3 p.m. (1000 GMT).

It does not  take us four missiles to take out one house.  One PGM, precison guided munition, one target distroyed.   Now the Pakis might need four.
