My fellow Americans, LET'S ROLL!!!
[President Bush quoting American Hero Todd Beamer]
Good Morning!! Do not let them die in vain!!
An anthrax letter was sent to Sen. Leahy.
Al Jezeera has accused the United States of bombing its office in Kabul.
Laura Bush will deliver the first-ever radio address by a First Lady today (97, eat your heart out - HA!). (I don't have a time - I checked the First Lady's page on the White House site, it isn't listed there either.)
And Helen Thomas has joined the ranks of those showing their true feelings about America saying the President "has gone too far" in curtailing our rights.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
Now, what is NOW going to say about this? Ha!
The Holiday *Best* of Bill Clinton & his Friends!
And on a more personal note, my wife learned yesterday that the loss of her singing voice ( following August 15th surgery to fuse one level of vertebrae in her neck ) is due to swollen vocal cords and not nerve damage, polyps, or tumors. It should be treatable.
Miss M, I'm sure they will come forth with some convoluted, wise-a$$ed, over-intellectualized blather which, to quote P.J. O'Rourke, is "baked wind and monkey doodle..."
Long ago, I supported the Muhajadin, and even then the way they treated their women was comtemptable- I just don't understand why this is- in my wife's immortal words, "You guys have to sleep sometime...."
In countries where women have no rights, is it because they are poor countries, OR are they poor countries because the women have no rights?
Whew! That good a question requires a kick-start of my poor old brain! Generally speaking, more wealth gives people more options of what to do with their lives, while going the other way- more poverty- decreases their options.
Put another way, oppressing these women just increases each family's poverty- if they could go out and work, barter, whatever, each family would have more coming in, be it money or goods, or services. Everyone would benefit.
On a side note, we are at war with a truly Medieval culture- one that fears our freedoms, openess, and wealth. They know that given a free choice, most people would rather live in our type of society than theirs- they cannot compete, so they seek to destroy.
Sort of like the democrats.
Speech Draws Ire, Students offended by Columnists Remarks (Barf Alert)
Sadly true.... I can remember a time when we had honorable opponents, like Hubert Humphrey or Pat Moynihan- you could disagree with their solutions, but still feel they were honorable people.
Backhoe...glad to hear your wife's singing voice should be treatable!
OneidaM: I was just reading the paper this morning read about Sen. Leahy's "letter"..and I thought to myself, "Ya know? I wonder...when is the VRWC theory gonna start popping up?" Also read that Danny Glover thinks we should spare bin Laden's life. Gimme a break.
Spent most of the day yesterday trying to figure out exactly how someone with a gun could get through security at Hartsfield. It's not the easiest place to get around, believe me. Once you get through security, there are ALWAYS Atlanta Police officers sitting right by the escalators, which are quite steep and very long. Then, once you're off them, you either have a choice of riding the train, walking on the human conveyor belt or just plain walking to the next terminal. It is know as the "Transportation Mall". It really baffled me. Then, they said they had "apprehended him", but I found out they didn't until about 6:30pm. You should see Hartsfield on a normal day, nevermind a Friday the weekend of the last official NASCAR SEASON RACE. (Compare it to the SuperBowl weekend). Normally, Mr. DJ88 would have been flying in last night, as we usually go to this race, but we decided not to this year because we were going up for Thanksgiving instead. And, to top it all off with a cherry, the guy they arrested was from the same place my mother and father live....
Whew. The boys are out getting haircuts/breakfast, and I have to take Michael to a friend's house on the way to take Mark to his friend's birthday party at "Dinosaur World". :-) (Later of course).
Vote snafu could happen again **BARF ALERT**
And the title is misleading,,,it should acutally be "YUCKEY POO POO BARF ALERT"
Oh, and btw, thank you for the extra POOPOO alert. ;-)
Laura's broadcast...live..C-SPAN I ..10 a.m. ET..won't last long, so don't be late!
