Exciting Biblical Archaeology News

Note to archaeologists: If an ancient statement designates a specific place for a biblical site, look there first. Turns out, where John said the Pool of Siloam was, it was. Exciting, though, that it can be found where it's supposed to be, even after a do-gooder Empress of the Byzantine empire recreates the site elsewhere to legitimize the claim. All this, only a few days after other archaeologists seem to have found one of King David's palaces.

The whole world knows the Jews have a long history in that area. It's unfortunate that modern Muslim leaders (i.e., Arafat) have intimated that the Jews have fabricatedtheir claim to the area. Of course, in rejecting the last 800 years of modern history, these same Muslim leaders probably disregard all things archaeological (newfangled sciences are designed to corrupt, of course, and are contrary to the will of Allah).

Environmental Idiocy

The environmentalists have a long and sordid history of murdering our astronauts. In the name of saving the world from freon and asbestos, they have pushed NASA out of safety and into greenified compliance. In the words of the liberals: how many astronauts have to die for this?

And murder is not too harsh a word; after all, it's depraved-heart murder. They have nothing in their hearts but greeny little thoughts, entirely at the expense of humanity. They'll justify it to themselves, to be sure, in that a few astronauts can die to save the people and furry creatures all over the world in future generations... but if we don't master the space race others will, and they'll use it to demolish all the people and furry creatures in our fair country. The space program should be pretty much off-limits... look at it this way: the fuel consumption on the way out of the atmosphere likely does more 'damage', though it's not irreversible, than asbestos o-rings and freon tiles. Time to put back the stuff that works and put the wackjob, murderous environmentalists out of business.
