This is News? Bill Clinton Scores
Sep 13, 2007 Uncategorized
I saw that and thought, how can this be news. He scores more than the Colts but then I read the rest and it was about a book:
BILL CLINTON SCORES #1 BOOK WITH ‘GIVING’: 47,329 SOLD IN OPENING WEEK… MORE… MOTHER TERESA IN PLACE WITH 18,204… ALAN ALDA AT SHOW WITH 12,180… RITA COSBY ‘ANNA NICOLE’ 6,482… KLEIN ON ‘COURIC’ 5,977.. Drudge Report
I should not read the news before I’ve have had my coffee….

9/11 Again
Sep 11, 2007 Uncategorized
It was six years ago today that the world forever changed when a group of Islamic radicals hijacked four commercial airliners and flew them into buildings killing nearly 3000 of our fellow citizens. Just like those who have lived through memorable moments of history, everyone can remember where they were and what they were doing when we were attacked. Older Americans added this memory to those of where they were when the Kennedys and MLK were shot. We add these items to our memories and they remain vivid because the significance of the event which, unlike John Kerry’s memories, truly are seared into our cerebral recollections. A lot has happened since that day six years ago and in that time this country has become more divided.
Today we honor the memories of the men and women who got up on a nice, sunny, day and, like they had done many times, kissed their spouses good-bye and went to work. Unfortunately, another mundane day at the office turned out to be anything but mundane and in the shadow of the carnage we saw what is good about America and what, despite our differences, makes us the greatest nation in the world. We saw firefighters and police officers rush into a building with no regard for their own safety in order to save lives. These selfless acts resulted in the deaths of hundreds of these rescue workers as they were crushed to death when the buildings collapsed.
We saw courage from every day people who assisted others in getting out or stayed with them only to perish in the disaster. We saw a group of courageous people divert a hijacked plane into the ground in order to prevent thwart part of the attack and we saw members of our Congress stand on the Capitol steps and sing together, a display to give hope and courage to the people of America.
This date, 9/11/2001, is the second day that will live in infamy and we will honor those who died that day just as we honor those who were killed in a similar, unprovoked attack on 12/7/1941. We will look at these days and never forget that freedom is not free and that there is pure evil in this world. We will always remember that the freedoms we cherish are paid for with the blood, sweat, and tears of the members of the Armed Forces of the United States and we will never remember that America will only remain the land of the free as long as it stays the home of the brave.
Today, Flags fly at half staff to honor those who died when we were brutally attacked. That Flag and the events of that day serve as stark reminders of the dangers we face in this world. Our Flag also reminds us that there is nothing we cannot accomplish if we put aside our differences and combine our efforts as did those who gave us a nation under which to fly her.
God Bless America and the people fortunate enough to call her home.
This entry was published at 9:43 am (Eastern), the time that American Airlines Flight 77 struck the Pentagon and took the life of my friend and comrade in arms, William R. Ruth, US Army. This post is dedicated to his memory and the memory of all those who perished on the day that we met evil face to face.

Back On Line
Sep 2, 2007 Uncategorized
I suffered a hard drive failure and have been working to get things back up and running. Fortunately, I did not lose much other than my time.
I hope to begin posting again later today after I make sure things are running OK.
Have a great day and be safe this holiday weekend.
Remember, look out for the police because you know they are looking out for you.

The Side of Dogs Vick Couldn’t See
Aug 28, 2007 Uncategorized
She is pregnant, he had just saved her from a fire in her house, rescuing her by carrying her out of the house into her front yard, while he continued to fight the fire. When he finally got done putting the fire out, he sat down to catch his breath and rest. A photographer from the Charlotte , North Carolina newspaper, noticed her in the distance looking at the fireman. He saw her walking straight toward the fireman and wondered what she was going to do. As he raised his camera, she came up to the tired man who had saved her life and the lives of her babies and kissed him just as the photographer snapped this photograph.

I Received a Message from a Coward
Aug 28, 2007 Uncategorized
I received a message via my contact form from an intellectual midget who obviously received his education in the public school system. I cleaned it up so that I could share with you what a coward writes. You can see that there is no name, no contact information, no anything except a coward who wrote an anonymous, vile message so that he could feel like a big man. The problem is that people like this are small minded cowards who would never, ever, have the courage to say that to someone’s face. If he gathered enough courage to say that directly to me, he would only say it once.

I feel sorry for putrid little people like this. However, the fun is over so this commenter needs to get back to flipping hamburgers.
BTW, I am not a member of the Nazi Party. I am a registered Republican. But I am willing to bet this fellow did not know that the Nazis were a political party in the first place.
