IAEA Chief reveals that the truth of a situation will never be addressed for fear of someone doing something about it. Do we really want to trust our security to the likes of he and the UN?

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T GRAB IT! I HAVE BEEN TEMPORARILY LOCKED OUT (UP TO 48 HOURS) OF MY BLOG BY BLOGGER.

I WAS LOCKED OUT BECAUSE IT THOUGHT MY USE OF TIME MAGAZINES QUOTE OF THE DAY WAS A SPAM BLOG.

ENJOY THE QUOTE, BUT DON’T USE THE TIME MAG WIDGET!!!!

I’ve Come to the Conclusion that I’m a Wuss…
On my way home from work today I twisted my ankle and completely bit it into a patch of loose asphalt near my house. I was wearing shorts so my right knee got shredded and I was bleeding everywhere. My thought as I met the asphalt was how much is this going to cost me?

I had screamed out in pain (pretty proud of myself that a stream of expletives didn’t come out of my mouth as is usual for me in these instances), and five people came completely out of the woodwork to my assistance. Only in Hawaii! People are definitely cool here.

I was a little embarrassed about crying out, although I think that’s actually a survival thing - you instinctively cry out for assistance from your fellow mammals and when it comes you don’t feel like crying (as much) anymore. I was able to put weight on the ankle and hobbled the rest of the way home.

I went into the kitchen, bleeding a trail on the floor (yes, I did clean it up), and when I looked at in the light I saw it was more than just a scrape. I thought the skin had flapped. I was really grossed out and couldn’t bring myself clean it out thoroughly for fear of seeing bone. I had the suspicion I would need stitches, which I had never had. Either that or a tube of superglue, which is now being used as a quick fix for wounds.
