from the web

Here are some recent links to articles, news, photos, videos, etc. from the internet that I would like to share with everyone . . . . . . Eat This, Not That! Top Swaps for those who are watching what they eat - for whatever reason. This link provides comparisons with foods that we eat all the time, such as a Big Mac vs a Whopper. It might help us all decide what to eat and enjoy and still cut back on some of those calories . . . . . Did you know we might have 4.3 BILLION barrels of oil that can be recovered from Montana and North Dakota? Things that make you go hmmm . . . . . . Navy SEAL MA2 Michael Monsoor was awarded posthumously the Medal of Honor in early April. He gave his life for his fellow SEALS by falling on a live hand grenade in Iraq Read the news story or View the photo gallery or watch the video clip . . . . . . My favorite political cartoonists in Gary Varvel who draws for the Indy Star newspaper. I have a link to his Varvblog on the sidebar, but just in case you missed it, here is one of his latest . . . . . . Last week, I listened to a radio interview by Glenn Beck with Joel Rosenberg, the author of "Dead Heat." Rosenberg has written a series of six "end time" novels (which I have not read) but this radio interview piqued my interest. I read on his website - joelrosenberg.com - that the first novel in the series, "The Last Jihad," begins with the reader in the cockpit of a hijacked plane on a kamikaze mission in an American city, and this book was written nine months before 9/11/2001.
