new presidential directive gives Bush dictatorial power
Sunday, October 28th, 2007In case you missed it (and you likely did because the media missed it or refused to publicize it), The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive, signed on May 9, 2007 declares that in the event of a “catastrophic event”, George W. Bush can become what is best described as “a dictator”:
“The President shall lead the activities of the Federal Government for ensuring constitutional government.”
This directive, completely unnoticed by the media, and given no scrutiny by Congress, literally gives the White House unprecedented dictatorial power over the government and the country, bypassing the US Congress and obliterating the separation of powers. The directive also placed the Secretary of Homeland Security in charge of domestic “security”…
…This is another step towards official martial law, which suggests that a new “catastrophic event” 9/11-type pretext could be in the pipeline.

nutty weather
Monday, October 22nd, 2007It is 74° F at 1 PM according to my weather station at my house. Yesterday, it was almost as warm. And this is the beginning of the fourth week of October!
During October, the temperature has only gone below 40° F once: 39° F for about an hour around dawn on the 13th. The high was 83° F recorded on the 5th and 6th of the month. The average for the month so far is a hair under 60° F.
On the 13th, I picked all the tomatoes and peppers that were worth picking. I put the peppers in the fridge and the set the tomatoes on a shelf in the garage to ripen. The next day, I intended to pull up the plants and put them in the compost pile, but I never got around to it
The weather started warming up again, so I continued watering the plants. The tiny tomatoes and peppers I did not pick are now growing to full size and they will be ready picking for picking soon.
This weather is nuts!
up with the Sox
Monday, October 22nd, 2007
It’s 12:42 AM and I should be sound asleep because I have to get up at 5:50 AM to go to work, but my Red Sox just won the American League Championship and I am watching the celebration on TV.
