TrekMovie.com has gotten their hands on the casting sheet for the upcoming Star Trek movie. It appears that the entire cast from the first season of TOS will be recast for this movie. So, no Chekov.

You know, I don't even need to write a post. The article explains itself. All I'll say is "irony".

Egyptian Soldiers Kill Refugees Fleeing Into Israel

Keep and eye out to see if Amnesty International or the U.N. say anything about this. They may condemn it, but being that it was Israeli's that were trying to help the refugees they probably won't.

More Inexperience From Obama

Barack Obama recently hinted to the AP that he wouldn't use nuclear weapons against al-Qaeda under any circumstances. Sounds good. In theory. But, as president, you can't take any option of the table.

And Interview With Leonard Nemoy

TrekMovie.com has an interview up the did with Leonard Nemoy about his role in the upcoming Star Trek movie. I've been wary of this movie ever since I first heard about it, but after reading the interview I'm a little less wary and a little more excited. I just wish they'd hurry and find someone to play Kirk. Part 2 of the interview should be up sometime today.

Barack Obama: Let's Invade Pakistan

That's what he seems to be saying.

If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will.

Musharraf won't allow U.S. troops into Pakistan, so an invasion is the only way to get them in there. I have even less experience in matter of foreign affairs than Obama does and even I realize that going into Pakistan would be bad. Musharraf is holding onto power, and his life, by the thinest of threads as it is. We go in, he's killed and someone very undesirable gets their hands on Pakistan's nuclear weapons. If Obama thinks Iraq is bad, wait until al-Qaeda has nukes. Now think about that. If this scenario occurs, and it very well could, do we really want someone in the White House with absolutely zero experience? I don't. I want someone who knows what he's doing, not someone who's been an armchair quarterback for seven years. In today's world of psychotic Jihadists , Barack Obama is the absolute worst choice for president.

This Weeks Soldier Was Suggested By Cynthia

Master Sgt. Michael Wert (Left)
35 years old from Saginaw, Michigan
2nd Marine Aircraft Wing
May 5, 2007


Master Sgt. Michael Wert, an intelligence chief for the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing at Cherry Point in Havelock, N.C., was vacationing on an early May weekend with his family at the beach when he saw two boys struggling in the surf.

His wife, Debbie, said her husband rushed into the water to help while she went to call 911. Their daughter, Katrina, grabbed a boogie board and followed Wert into the water. She managed to help the boys onto the board, but didn't see her dad with them. One of the boys told her that he (Wert) had to let them go and had died.

The rescue team found Wert, brought him to shore and tried to revive him. As they worked, strangers prayed with the family and comforted the Wert children.

Wert was six days shy of celebrating his 36th birthday.

Wert joined the Marines in 1989 after graduating from Alma High School, in Saginaw, MI, where he was a cross-country runner. He served in Operation Desert Storm and supported Operation Iraqi Freedom.

As the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing intelligence chief, he gracefully accepted the role as the go-to guy for his Marines. He was the one who helped his major’s son build a pinewood derby car while the officer was deployed. He knew when babies were born in the command. He kept up with birthdays and anniversaries. He was the first to greet Marines getting off the plane after a tour in Iraq. "He was always there to help," Lt. Col. William Conley, commander of Marine Wing Headquarters Squadron 2 said at a memorial service for Wert. "Master Sergeant Wert responded to the need for help. As always, he didn’t hesitate — he went to help. He tragically lost his own life in doing so."

"I admired him for his commitment to service and the Marine Corps," said Col. Kathy Tate. "We know he was a hero every day."

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived
