Cheerleading the most dangerous female sport?

A recent study showed that female cheerleading is the most dangerous female sport. Really? Do they pull a hamstring from kicking so high? Are those heavy pom-poms pulling shoulders out of their sockets? Or throwing out their backs from the backseat gymnastics after the big game?

Scientists can see a memory being made?

Scientists have announced that they can see when a long term memory is
made. Apparently, protiens are created during this process.
There are some interesting aspects to this discovery. Alzheimers
research, prevention and possibly reversal. What a wonderful
breakthrough that would be.
Another more sinister application for this research is mind reading.
Seriously, if we understand how a memory is made, isn't it feasable to
think we may be able to read those memories with outside the brain
apparatus? Think of some poor schmuck, kidnapped by some nefarious
intelligence agency, strapped to a table, head wired up, and the
shadowy agents actually being able to tap into his memories? Would any
state secrets be safe ever again?

Who is Atilla Kowalski?

I am. I am of Hungarian and Polish descent. I am an American. No, not a Hungarian-American, or a Polish-American, but an American. I chose the name of Atilla Kowalski to honor both sides of my heritage. I don't believe in hyphenated Americans.
I am a politically conservative (on most issues), socially middle of the road (on most issues), and financially hard right. The government needs to stop spending OUR money.
I like to think I am quite sane, but at the same time cynical about a lot of issues and people. I guess that comes from experience. I will talk about a wide variety of issues along the way, and hope you enjoy the journey with me. I try to write with a humorous edge, sarcastic at times; but always speak the truth and try to make us both laugh.

I welcome comments, I will try to answer or respond to as many as practicable.

Pleased to meet you.

Farrah Fawcett - an American Beauty

I was saddened today to hear the Farrah Fawcett lost her battle with cancer. She was a true American beauty. What red-blooded boy around 14 years old didn't fall in love with her? I was also shocked to see the media going crazy over the death of Michael Jackson, and Farrah was just about ignored. Sad, but the freaks get the media coverage.

Thanks for the memories, Farrah!

R.I.P Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson died today. Or did he?
