Some babies survive the abortion process. Despite the best efforts to declare these struggling young humans as "non-viable," some of them survive the abortion process and are born damaged and crying. A [United Kingdom] GOVERNMENT agency is launching an inquiry into doctors’ reports that up to 50 babies a year are born alive after botched … Continue reading Some Babies Survive

Sometimes I read the news and just feel obligated to tell somebody about it. Humor me.
Hollywood Patriot
While I may tend to go off on entertainers that bash America, I would rather highlight those that support America, not just for their patriotism but for their bravery in standing up to Hollywood leftists. I'll give kudos to Bruce Willis who's had enough of the bashing American soldiers take from Hollywood. From Michelle Malkin: … Continue reading Hollywood Patriot
Intelligent Design in Public Schools
Andrew Coulson at the Cato Institute has a question - why are we fighting over Intelligent Deisgn vs Evolution? Does it matter to one parent if another parent teaches their child about God? Supporters of the theory of human origins known as "intelligent design" want it taught alongside the theory of evolution. Opponents will do … Continue reading Intelligent Design in Public Schools
AT&T Again
Ok, so let me see if I got all this down. I had AT&T Worldnet for an Internet service provider, Southwestern Bell telephone after AT&T broke up (although I kept AT&T Long Distance to use on my Southwestern Bell Telephone), and Cingular Wireless. Then I switched to SWBell DSL internet and my wife had AT&T … Continue reading AT&T Again
To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before
Or not go, depending on whether you can get the engines running. Looks like they could use another engineer like Scotty: In life, James Doohan was the "Star Trek" engineer who worked miracles on the Enterprise, but a rocket meant to blast his remains into space has engine trouble. A Falcon One rocket was to … Continue reading To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before
Setting the Record Straight
Finally, the White House is addressing the liberal media for making outrageous claims about how Bush lied, led us into war, yada yada yada. Conservatives have long read the Washington Post and the New York Times and pointed out the errors, errors embraced by the liberal media to make their point. Two days ago, the … Continue reading Setting the Record Straight
Mary Mapes and Burden of Proof
Mary Mapes, the CBS producer fired last year for running a story using forged documents, is standing by her story. She says she doesn't have to prove her story is true; you have to prove it is false. Newsbusters has the transcript: Ross: "After 12 days of defending them, CBS and Dan Rather later admitted … Continue reading Mary Mapes and Burden of Proof
Spiritual Wickedness in High Places
The Anchoress posts an email from a scared Catholic friend in France who wonders why the French media and politicians are ignoring that fanatical Muslims are burning churches in France. When we dare to grumble, when we dare to murmur that Islam is a religion of death, that we do not want to become an … Continue reading Spiritual Wickedness in High Places
The Oil Connection
See if you can connect these dots that seem to elude our elected officials: U.S. House drops ANWR from budget. U.S. Congress Wants to Know Why Oil Prices Are So High. I know there's a connection there. I just know it.
Middle Class Military
Charles Rangel, the looney left-wing Democrat, has criticized the military on several issues, one of them that the military is made up disproportionately of minorities while middle and upper class families reap the benefits without risk. Where he got that idea from, who knows. Certainly didn't come from the facts, though. Turns out most of … Continue reading Middle Class Military
Mid-Week Linkage
Linkfest for Wednesday: Michelle Malkin sheds light on how the anti-war bias of the liberal left newspapers is showing again. The NY Times uses selected quotes from a deceased serviceman's letter to his girlfriend to make you think he's regretting being in combat, while completely leaving out his pride in protecting America. Here's what the … Continue reading Mid-Week Linkage
Far Left, Far Right
Far Left: Al Franken is laughing it up, I suppose. Nobody else is, because he's not funny. He's promoting his new book on Amazon with a video clip showing how good it feels to kick a conservative between the legs. Michelle Malkin has video stills and here is the video clip. Basically, he questions a … Continue reading Far Left, Far Right
H is for Handcuffs
An Elmo impersonator was arrested in Hollywood yesterday. Must have been traumatic for children nearby to see a Sesame Street character led away in handcuffs. LOS ANGELES - The red and cuddly Sesame Street Muppet Elmo has learned a new lesson: 'H' is for handcuffs. A man dressed as the character was one of three … Continue reading H is for Handcuffs
One Out to Go
One out to go. One measly out, and the Astros are going to the World Series. And then a single by St. Louis puts a man on base. And another single. And then Pujols belts it out of the park. He hit it so hard I thought he had punched a hole in the roof. … Continue reading One Out to Go
Go 'Stros!
Anybody else watch the Astros game last night? Man, what a finish! Astros holding a 2-1 lead. Cardinals put a man on 1st and 3rd, and then a hard grounder to third. Ensberg whips that ball back to the catcher to tag out the runner, keeping the score at 2-1 with 1 away. But St. … Continue reading Go 'Stros!
Bird Flu
I'm having trouble getting interested in this story. Somehow, I think it's sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. If the virus spreads and if the virus mutates and if that mutation is harmful to humans and if that mutation can spread through casual contact, then we are all doomed. Too many ifs to warrant a solid week … Continue reading Bird Flu
2005 Hurricane Rita Storm Damage in Houston
With all the news lately about Hurricane Katrina, we shouldn't forget that Houston has had it's share of devastating weather also. The attached photo illustrates the damage caused to a home when Hurricane Rita passed through the Houston area a couple of days ago. It really makes you cherish what you have, and reminds us … Continue reading 2005 Hurricane Rita Storm Damage in Houston

Best news at Click2Houston and Harris County Homeland Security. Best hurricane blogs at SciGuy and Steve Gregory. Best tracking at NOAA. Real time wind speeds at NOAA. Real time rainfall at Harris County Homeland Security. So far, I'm relieved. Only a quarter inch of rain so far and max winds predicted around 60 mph. Thanks … Continue reading Hurricane Tools
Rita Update Needed
Normally, people come to Chasing the Wind to get information. Except while I'm in Germany, information is scarce. What's the damage like in Houston? Any flooding or wind damage? Anybody seen my wife?
Before the Storm
I was unsuccessful at getting home - hours before my flight was supposed to leave from Duisburg, Germany, all flights into Houston, Dallas, and Austin were cancelled. I briefly considered San Antonio, but I-10 is one way out of Houston. So I'm staying put. My lovely and very capable wife is riding out the storm. … Continue reading Before the Storm
Hurricane Rita
I picked a terrible weekend to be overseas. Out of touch, thousands of miles away, hurricane bearing down on our home, almost no email. I'm hurrying home as fast as I can, and it looks like my flight land just as the hurricane hits. I'm likely to be diverted to some random Texas city. Pray … Continue reading Hurricane Rita
Astroworld Closes
Six Flags / Astroworld is closing after 37 years. The property it is sitting on is worth roughly $110 million, or $1 million an acre. I haven't been in years and years. The rides were shorter, the lines were longer, it had a "hoodlum" feel about it, the gift shops were full of overpriced trinkets. … Continue reading Astroworld Closes
Protesting Jobs That Are Better Than Yours
Let's say you're a union (United Food and Commercial Workers, UFCW) and you're upset about the low wages Wal-Mart pays. Let's also say that since none of your union is interesting in picketing, that you decide to hire non-union temporary workers to picket for you in the 104°F heat. Good idea? I think not. Wal-Mart … Continue reading Protesting Jobs That Are Better Than Yours
The Real Katrina Tragedy
The real tragedy from Katrina is not the wind, the rain, or the flooding. No, the real tragedy is that number of dangerous animals parading around on two feet. From a link from Vox comes this story at Useful Fools. It's too graphic to repost here in it's entirety, but two survivors of the Superdome … Continue reading The Real Katrina Tragedy
Katrina: Search for Missing People
There are many websites trying to help people find missing loved ones in the wake of Katrina. Yahoo has created a "metasearch" page where you can search all of the Katrina missing persons websites at once.

Abandon New Orleans
The Army Corp has been unable to plug the levees that are flooding New Orleans. Dropping 3000 lb sandbags and 15 foot concrete barriers are having no effect. This morning, the Lousiana governer called for a complete evacuation of New Orleans. No idea where these people are supposed to go, though. The population of New … Continue reading Abandon New Orleans
Christian Groups and Hurricane Relief
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the hundreds of thousands of people impacted by Hurricane Katrina yesterday. Reports are sketchy, but perhaps 55 people have died and anywhere from $9 billion to $20 billion in damages. If you'd like to help out, Christian organizations are providing relief and will put your donation to good … Continue reading Christian Groups and Hurricane Relief
One Ugly Dog
Man. That's got to be the ugliest dog I've ever seen. Some may call it a tale of beauty and the beast. But Sam, a 14-year-old pedigreed Chinese crested, and a three-time champ in the World's Ugliest Dog Contest, is the dog of Susie Lockheed's dreams. Lockheed, 53, enjoys massaging Sam's fleshy, thin, potato-chip ears … Continue reading One Ugly Dog
Peter Jenning's Faith
CharismaNow offers some insight into the faith of Peter Jennings before he died earlier this week of lung cancer. TV anchor Peter Jennings "was very interested in the Bible, very interested in the things of God," according to the daughter of evangelist Billy Graham. Anne Graham Lotz said she didn't know the longtime host of … Continue reading Peter Jenning's Faith
Pool of Siloam
In the Gospel of John is the story of Jesus curing a blind man. At the time it was commonly accepted that if you were blind or had a deformity that it was caused by sin. The desciples asked Jesus whether the blindness was caused by the blind man's sin or by the blind man's … Continue reading Pool of Siloam

Blogging Kerfuffle
Stuff I'm not likely to blog about this week: - The latest Harry Potter book. It sold a lot of copies apparently. - The Karl Rove kerfuffle. Like the Tom DeLay witch-hunt of last year, it's just partisan yelping trying to find something, anything, that'll burn the conservatives. I think "kerfuffle" is a silly word. … Continue reading Blogging Kerfuffle
Rich People Spending Money on Icky Things
Yuck. I'm glad I'm not rich. I might be persuaded to buy a bar of soap. BASEL, Switzerland (Reuters) -- Perhaps the oddest piece of work at Art Basel is a bar of soap, displayed on a square of black velvet, purportedly made from Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's fat, removed during liposuction. Gianni Monti's … Continue reading Rich People Spending Money on Icky Things
Smearing Women With Broccoli
Actually, my first question is, "Who pays these people? And how can I get a job that involves rubbing food products on people?" According to the Smell and Taste Institute in Chicago - a likely terrorist target if there ever was one - smearing grapefruit on women make them smell 6 years younger. Institute director … Continue reading Smearing Women With Broccoli
PETA Kills More Animals
We already knew that PETA kills animals. Now they are being arrested for dumping dead animals.

Macho Man is Endangered? By What?
Seriously, I have trouble imagining the world that these people come from. Their planet must be painted in pastels and have a lovely floral scent. PARIS (AFP) - Macho man is an endangered species, with today's male more likely to opt for a pink flowered shirt and swingers' clubs than the traditional role as family … Continue reading Macho Man is Endangered? By What?
Sometimes Abortion Is Murder
Though I can't figure out the logic behind this conviction of Gerardo Flores. Long story short: Girl wants abortion. Girl asks man to help. Girl punches herself in stomach while man steps on her. Baby is aborted. Man is prosecuted for murder, girl is not because she has a legal right to abortion. So why … Continue reading Sometimes Abortion Is Murder
Newsweek Blogswarm
The blogs are circling. Last week, Newsweek was in more than just hot water - they published a story that American interrogators flushed a Koran down a toilet. Muslim riots everywhere, and at least 16 people died in Afghanistan. Then Newsweek said they couldn't verify the story was true. Oops. So there's a lot of … Continue reading Newsweek Blogswarm

PETA Kills Animals
Did you know that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has killed over 10,000 animals between 1998 and 2003? Huh. Now you know.
Global Dimming
The news media for years have indoctrinated us to believe that our atmosphere was getting dirtier, which leads to global warming, then massive climate changes, starvation, and so on and so on. But now studies are showing that the air is actually getting cleaner.... and that, too, leads to global warming. Our planet's air has … Continue reading Global Dimming
National Day of Prayer
Today is a National Day of Prayer. And no, Google doesn't have a special logo for this one, either. And in San Francisco, they don't like the fact that this day is dominated by Christians. The day has been taken over by evangelicals," said Robert Boston, a spokesman for Americans for Separation of Church and … Continue reading National Day of Prayer
Burrito Boy Terrorizes School
I think the boy got off light. I've had burritos that could be classified as dangerous weapons. They sell microwave burritos that can gas an entire car full of beach-going friends, and they should be outlawed. CLOVIS, N.M. - A call about a possible weapon at a middle school prompted police to put armed officers … Continue reading Burrito Boy Terrorizes School
A New Pope
Wow. A new pope has been chosen after only two days. Don't know who it is yet, but the bells of St. Peter's Basilica are ringing. Update: Pope Benedict XVI from Germany.
Headline Question
From the Boston Globe, "Police Hold Woman Over Deadly Paris Hotel Fire". Is this some sort of recipe? Or a form of torture? Either way, it's just one more reason not to like the liberal Boston Globe. 😆
Mae Magourik Airlifted for Food
As I mentioned a few days ago, Mae Magouirk, an 81 year old grandmother, was being denied food and water, despite a living will that said she wanted to be fed under her current condition. After 10 days without food and water, Mae Magouirk was airlifted from Hospice-LaGrange in LaGrange, Georgia, to the University of … Continue reading Mae Magourik Airlifted for Food
Choosing Topics
Gotta choose my topics carefully otherwise I'll blog full time. 😛 Interesting topics I'm *not* blogging about today: MSN Spaces is out of beta. This is a new blogging site and Microsoft claims 4.5 million bloggers already. 80% of Americans believed that starving Terri Schiavo to death was wrong. Kansas becomes the 18th state to … Continue reading Choosing Topics
Terry Schiavo: a Poll and an Essay
Remember the polls that said 63% of Americans wanted Terri Schiavo to die? I remember thinking at the time that something was wrong - I recognized that my opinion that our judicial system was killing her wasn't unanimous, but I couldn't understand why it was a minority opinion. Others questioned it, too. Turns out there … Continue reading Terry Schiavo: a Poll and an Essay
Giant Chinese Pandas Get Broadband
No, really. Broadband internet access is available in the Wolong Giant Panda Nature Reserve. So why can't my brother get broadband access in his little bitty Texas town? I'm thinking he should start wearing a panda costume.
Terri Schiavo is Dead
After 13 days without food, Terri Schiavo died today at the age of 41. My prayers are with Terri's parents who gave a good fight to try to save their daughter's life. And I condemn her "husband;" he used the "sanctity of marriage" screen for his decision while already engaged in an adulterous affair, and … Continue reading Terri Schiavo is Dead
Death Row Sentence Dismissed Because Jury Read Bible
Yesterday I read that in Colorado, a conviction for the death penalty was set aside because the jury read bible passages such as the Leviticus "an eye for an eye" and "he who kills a man shall be put to death" during deliberations. Back in 1995, the jury unanimously found the defendant Robert Harlan guilty … Continue reading Death Row Sentence Dismissed Because Jury Read Bible

So here are the topics I'm not writing about, even if it looks like I'm writing about them now. I'm not. But they're interesting reads: … Continue reading Links of the Day
Waiting Until 13th Day
I wonder why the 11th Court of Appeals waited so long? Did they want Terri dead first? Mar 30, 12:40 AM (ET) ATLANTA (AP) - A federal appeals court early Wednesday agreed to consider a petition for a new hearing on whether to reconnect Terri Schiavo's feeding tube. As if that wasn't bad enough, CBS … Continue reading Waiting Until 13th Day

Good links for today: OpinionJournal compares the federal government's 1999 "Good Friday" midnight snatch of Elian Gonzales in order to send him back to Cuba with the current restraint being show in the Terri Schiavo case, even though in both cases the appeals courts ruled against the government. Kofi Annan is "depressed" over scandals at … Continue reading Good Links
Terri's Laws
I'm not going to rehash the arguments over the court decisions to let Terri Schiavo die. Like it or not, most of the court decisions were upholding the US laws, something we really want the courts to do. It's a shame our laws cannot accomodate a mother that wants to care for her damaged child. … Continue reading Terri's Laws
Supreme Court Turns Down Schiavo Case
Terri Schiavo will be dead within the week. May God have mercy on us.
Euthanasia versus Neglect
Jay Tea at Wizbang makes some interesting observations this morning. He hasn't taken sides on the Teri Schiavo case, but he is pointing out that if you decide on a course of action, then you should do it with the courage of your convictions. Letting Terri die by starvation is cowardly. In the Terri Schiavo … Continue reading Euthanasia versus Neglect
Culture of Life
One of the longest and largest threads here on Chasing the Wind is the post I made about Terri Schiavo. It's attracted many, many visitors posting for the first time. I suspect it's because I originally misspelled her name as Terry Schiavo until some left-wing loonie made a snide comment that right wing people can't … Continue reading Culture of Life
Brian Nichols, Before and After
Brian Nichols, the man who murdered 4 people last Friday before taking Ashley Smith hostage in her home, is shown on the left. That's his angy looking police mug shot.

Brave Woman of God
I am quite impressed with Ashley Smith. A violent man in an Atlanta courthouse for his rape trial Friday morning took a deputy's gun, killed the judge and three others, then fled. He found Ashley coming back from the grocery store and took her hostage inside her own apartment. ATLANTA - For hours, Ashley Smith … Continue reading Brave Woman of God
The Convergence of Science and Religion
In 1966, Charles Hard Townes published "The Convergence of Science and Religion" about his thoughts on the relationship between religion and science. "They are much more similar than people generally accept," Townes says. "Science has faith. We make postulates. We can't prove those postulates, but we have faith in them." Earlier this week, Charles Hard … Continue reading The Convergence of Science and Religion

Remember the "Baby 81" stories from the New York Times the last several weeks?

Cookie Grinches Aftermath
The cookie grinches still don't get it. I wrote about the problems facing Taylor Ostergaard and Lindsey Jo Zellitti here and how a radio station came to their aid here. According to an Associated Press story, the girls will pick up a check today from Denver radio station KOA to pay their legal costs. Wanda … Continue reading Cookie Grinches Aftermath
Cookie Girls Rescued
The dastardly cookie girls I wrote about last week have been rescued by a radio station: Radio station KOA-AM of Denver raised more than $1,900 from listeners Friday to pay the girls' $930.78 fine. The rest of the money will go to a charity dedicated to victims of the Columbine High School massacre. Meanwhile, Richard … Continue reading Cookie Girls Rescued
Cookie Girls Must Be Punished!
What is this world coming to if girls think they can bake cookies for their neighbors and get away with it? Have they no shame, performing acts of kindness upon unsuspecting people? Here's an example of the "vandalism" these two girls, Taylor and Lindsey, performed upon their neighbors: The July 31 deliveries consisted of half … Continue reading Cookie Girls Must Be Punished!
Tsunami and Banda Aceh, Indonesia
Banda Aceh, Indonesia was close to the epicenter of the earthquake and the resulting tsunami, but it wasn't until this morning that I understood the magnitude of the impact there. In photos released this morning, here are before and after shots of the shoreline:
Tsunami Update
The US increased the amount of aid pledged 10-fold to $350 million. That doesn't include the millions more pledged voluntarily through organizations like the Red Cross. Meanwhile, Kofi Annan finally speaks on the disaster. Apparently, he didn't want to interrupt his ski vacation in Jackson, Wyoming to deal with the crisis. Q: Mr. Secretary, picking … Continue reading Tsunami Update
Earthquake / Tsunami Animation
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminstration (NOAA) has put up a worldwide animation that shows where the earthquake hit and which areas of the world were affected. Watching it it's easy to see why east Africa (3300 miles away), India, Indonesia and Malaysia were hit by the tsunami, but Singapore, only a few hundred miles away, … Continue reading Earthquake / Tsunami Animation
Removing the Tree
I don't know if they called it a Holiday Tree or a Christmas Tree, but either way, it's gone. Since it was decorated with non-religious ornaments, I'm guessing it was a Holiday Tree. Here's a picture of the actual tree so you can see for yourself. In any event, it's been removed to "make sure … Continue reading Removing the Tree
The Healing Power of Chocolate
The ancient Mayans were right. Chocolate heals.

Dark chocolate can lower blood pressure in elderly hypertensive patients. Chocolate … Continue reading The Healing Power of Chocolate

Go Sox!
I'm rooting for the Red Sox. Looks like they're on the verge of whooping the Yankees tonight. Tomorrow I'll be rooting for the Astros. Go 'Stros! Then the World Series will be... Massachussetts vs. Texas. Sort of symbolic. I like that. 😛
Kerry-Edwards to Blame for Flu Vaccine Shortage
I might as well blame it on them. The flu vaccine shortage is caused primarily because flu vaccine makers don't want to make a product with a low profit, high risk potential. They're losing money. People like John Edwards, with his background as a amulance chasing trial lawyer, is at the heart of this problem. … Continue reading Kerry-Edwards to Blame for Flu Vaccine Shortage
Offensive Sacrilege
Via Pamibe comes an article about as offensive as the left can be. I always wonder this about the extreme left: they preach Political Correctness (PC) everywhere. Can't say this cuz it offends group A. Can't say that, cuz it offends group B. I know I'm allowed to call myself white, but if you're another … Continue reading Offensive Sacrilege

Ivan Frustrates Media By Not Heading to Florida
I think the media really, really wants Ivan to hit Florida. They really want a three-peat. When the hurricane tracking maps first came out, all of them showed Ivan slamming into the heart of Florida. This was the map a few days ago – “Yay! It’s going to hit Florida!†the news people seem to … Continue reading Ivan Frustrates Media By Not Heading to Florida
Why the Fake Memos Are Important
Major media using fake documents in order to influence the election for the leader of the free world and choose who will lead the fight against terrorism for the next 4 years. Just thought it needed to be said. You know, in case you were wondering.
What Do the Fake CBS Memos Have in Common with Vince Foster?
Tonight Dan Rather explained that the memos were real because the story was true. And the story was true because they had these memos... I didn't buy it, and neither did Wizbang. In particular, the "superscript" function of that typewriter would let you raise the 'th' up a 1/2 step, but it wouldn't change the … Continue reading What Do the Fake CBS Memos Have in Common with Vince Foster?
Hurricane Ivan, 160mph, Heads to Florida
Man, Florida just can not get a break. Their third hurricane of the season is bearing down on them. Everytime they update the computer models, the more it looks like Ivan is taking the same path as Charley. And this morning, Ivan was upgraded to Category 5 with 160 mph winds.
