U.S., Israel developed Flame computer virus: newspaper - Yahoo! News

So they are trying to blame something on us from un-named sources.  What is funny is the following quote:

Since Flame was an intelligence "collection" virus rather than a cyberwarfare program to sabotage computer systems, it required less-stringent U.S. legal and policy review than any U.S. involvement in offensive cyberwarfare efforts, experts told Reuters.
The CIA, NSA, Pentagon, and Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment.

Um, yes, the USA and the various departments are just going to admit to something like this?  If they were not involved and said so, would the average person believe them.  

Problems with conspiracies, is once they start, they are hard to kill....

Do people really think about what they are saying when they get their 15 minutes of fame?

News from The Associated Press

So, in Georgia, there is a little girl throwing a tantrum in school and the police get called in:

Salecia Johnson, 6, was accused of tearing items off the walls and throwing books and toys in an outburst Friday at Creekside Elementary School in Milledgeville, according to a police report.
Police said a small shelf thrown by the child struck the principal in the leg during the fracas. The child also jumped on a paper shredder and tried to break a glass frame, the police report states.

So, she was really traumatizing all the students all around her, would you agree?  So what do the cops do?

The school called police. When an officer tried to calm the child in the principal's office, she resisted, police say. She "was restrained by placing her hands behind her back and handcuffed," a police report states.

 Why did they call the cops and not the parents is a good question. In one version of the story that I read, the parents were unavailable for contact. If you contact everyone on the list in most schools, the next step in most cases in the police.  So far I think the police or the school did not wrong what so ever, though the cuffs might have been overkill, I understand that it was for her safety in the police car.

But here is the kicker:

The girl's aunt, Candace Ruff, went with the child's mother to pick her up from the police station. She said Salecia had been in a holding cell and complained about the handcuffs.

"She said they were really tight. She said they really hurt her wrists," Ruff said. "She was so shaken up when we went there to pick her up."

And:

"We would not like to see this happen to another child, because it's horrifying. It's devastating," her aunt told The Associated Press.

So let me translate what she said in what it means to me.  It was totally OK for her niece  to terrorize the school, give her classmates nightmares about her actions, and be totally impossible to work with. What is not OK is for her niece is to have handcuffs put on her because they hurt her wrist and she was so shaken up about it, to the point of being devastated.

Am I missing something here.  She got her 15 minutes of fame I guess. I do not think I would have been calling the police if my child had been acting like that...

Read this today and got a chuckle....

Only good driver 'on the planet' ruins car

NEW YORK, April 3 (UPI) -- A car that hit a guardrail on a New York road was photographed with a bumper sticker proclaiming the motorist is the only good driver "on the planet."

The car, which was smashed on its front end and flipped over after colliding with the guardrail in a northbound lane of the FDR Drive at 9 a.m. Sunday, was photographed bearing a bumper sticker reading, "Why am I the only one on the planet who knows how to drive?" the New York Post reported Monday.

Police said the male driver, who was alone in the car, was taken to Weill Cornell Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

Obama Warns 'unelected' Supreme Court Against Striking Down Health Law | Fox News

Obama Warns 'unelected' Supreme Court Against Striking Down Health Law | Fox News

President Obama, employing his strongest language to date on the Supreme Court review of the federal health care overhaul, cautioned the court Monday against overturning the law -- while repeatedly saying he's "confident" it will be upheld. 

The president spoke at length about the case at a joint press conference with the leaders of Mexico and Canada. The president, adopting what he described as the language of conservatives who fret about judicial activism, questioned how an "unelected group of people" could overturn a law approved by

So I want to make sure that I get this straight. When the conservatives complained that the unelected court was making rules from the bench that  flew against what the people wanted, that was OK because it fit the liberal agenda, that was OK.  When the unelected court makes rules that support the conservative agenda and go against the liberal agenda, then a stern warning comes from the president and elected officials happen.

Am I the only one who does not see the logic in this.  If it is wrong one want, is it not wrong the other way as well?

Or have I drank too much of the conservative Kool-aide....?

Working with my kid...

Last night and tonight have been interesting. You have to understand that up till a few years ago I was always very active in working with my children. Even though I worked nights, most of that time I worked from home.
That changed a few years ago. My job was airline related, I did technical assistance for technicians fixing airline ticketing equipment. When 9/11 happened my office go downsized a few people at a time . I was lucky and held on longer than others, but in the end I was let go.
I took a job at a community college fixing computers but I worked nights. Eventuality I went to days but along with my part time job of teaching them, I had to take on a job at a major retail store. So I was basically home maybe one a week.
This not good because my youngest son has Asburgers, a high functioning form of Autism. He has really needed a dad and I have not been emotionally or physically there. We were loosening connection.
In school he was needing to write a narrative essay, but he was drawing a blank on how to do it. It was passed the due date but they would take it if we could get it done soon. Now I am not the best writer but I have learned how to write bettthan many so even though I was tired, as he was to, I got to help him write his paper.
The result I do not care if he gets a good grade on. We had connected again in ways we haven't done in years. I think he enjoyed it as well. He was relaxed as he climbed into bed as if he once again knew he had a dad who loved him.
In my Wednesday night co-dependency group, I am a facilitator of a group going over the book, The Father Heart of God. I have learned in the past two days just what a joy it is for me to be part of my sons life again. How much more does it mean to the Father God to be part of my life if I will just let Him be a part of it?
