Lines run amok!
I dunno what happened, but the lines between posts have grown. Please disregard while I try to figure out how to truncate them :-).

Must-read at Blackfive
Islamic Army turns against al Qaeda - at Blackfive:
It was not a forgone conclusion that the population would rise up against these foreign ass-hats that want to not only kill us, but to enslave and kill them too. [...]The throat cutters from Asscrackistan, or where ever they came from are in trouble, big trouble.

"Rescuer" = hoarder
CENTERVILLE, Pa. -- Police and humane officers raided a kennel at a home in Centerville, Washington County, and said they found dozens of dead dogs on Tuesday evening. Animal control officers said there were dogs in cages inside and outside Calico Creek Critters Rescue, and even in a nearby incinerator.
Wouldn't be the first time a so-called "rescue" was actually the sick manifestation of an animal hoarder or collector.
From the Tufts site, links about hoarding in the media.

Killer Bees!
According to a post at the Hard Copy board, Africanized bees have moved as far north as Rio.
Be careful out there.
Pray for solution to invasive species?
There's an interesting little piece in today's Christian Science Monitor about an invasive species control method that I must admit I have never considered: prayer. The author of the article notes that global efforts to manage invasive species are stalled by politics and by social issues, and goes on to suggest praying as something that can be done right now and that could inspire folks to come up with potential solutions and lead to greater cooperation.Hey, why not? What with local nurseries selling invasive Ligustrum (privet), there's a lot of material to pray about.
Dear Lord,
I never thought I'd ask you
To strike the shrubbery dead
And brown the foreign fescue
Which fills my heart with dread.
While you're on this killing spree
Please smite the nasty tallow tree.
If you're inclined to really hustle,
Zap to death the zebra mussel.
Formosan termites need a blast,
As does that thug called Johnson grass.
Fire ants, kudzu, Ligustrum vulgare,
A list too long for this brief prayer.
Take no prisoners, leave no seed,
Thanks for helping in my hour of need.
Amen.
Winning ways?
