I have a rust proof pee canister been sitting on the top shelf of my office, labeled “My gift to Hanoi Jane”. With a promise from my daughter that should I pass before Hanoi Jane does my daughter will make sure my gift finds it’s way to wherever they bury her.

That’s not true. I bet 90% of Mormons disagree with him on this. I grew up in Utah where I was one of about 30 kids in a high school of almost 3,000 that wasn’t Mormon and I was always treated well and got along great with them though never going to church. They were, and are, since I moved back to Utah 14 years ago, the nicest people I’ve ever met.

I tried to send this to Romney’s website a few minutes ago and surprise surprise, it’s down for maintenance.

I’ve never felt strong enough about an issue in 67 years to contact a representative, until now. I’m embarrassed that you represent Utah. Never mind, I guess you don’t. Or you wouldn’t be falling for the Democrat set up of the whole sham. Jeez, what a disgrace you are.

Now that you have my address please don’t add me to your mailing list for info or money. It’s never going to happen.

Trump won and you lost. Get together with Hillary, go through some counseling, get over it, and move on with your life.

I heard all the stories about underage women and one in particular saying he tried this and that. I saw an interview with the accusers mother saying that never happened. Then the young girl said her mom didn’t know about it because she took the phone call to meet Roy in her room. Her mom replied she didn’t have an extension in her room.

Later I heard he was banned from the mall for going after young women. Then saw an interview with the guy that ran the mall for 14 years as I recall during the time of the accusations and it was the only mall in town. He said he never had a problem with Roy Moore and Roy never got banned from the mall.

The Dims, as they always do, just fired accusation after accusation and some of them stuck, though they shouldn’t have. He got screwed and I don’t blame him for coming back and going after all those that did it. I admire his stick to it.

One private individual in Utah writes a letter to the editor and that gets interpreted to Utah wants to steal money from us? You’re generalizing the wrong state. That is by no means the norm here.

You ever want to shut up somebody that knows nothing about Viet Nam yet everything at the same time and in particular TET get the book “This Time We Win” revisiting the TET offensive. By James S. Robbins. The Cong got slaughtered. It was a disaster for them but the American media were all in for the bad guys on this one and some of the false stuff they reported beyond treason. Some by incompetence and some on purpose but with the same effect.

From his book “Bradbury Speaks”.

I was crossing Disneyland one afternoon some years ago, and walking toward me the other way and I saw a small girl in a bright blue-and-white dress, with long golden hair. As she approached and stopped before me, I looked at her and said

“Alice in Wonderland?”
She looked at me and said:
“Ray Bradbury?”

“it remains unclear who is to blame for the surplus....”

I live about five miles (as the Raven flies) from where that Thelma and Louise picture was taken. I believe that shot is from the third attempt. The convertible flipped over on the first, Thelma’s mannequin head fell off on the second, and with a trunk full of rocks to keep the car from flipping they got the third one right.

“Every pharmaceutical company could, theoretically, choose to market its children’s drugs at cost (i.e. without profit).

They could even opt to market them at a loss.

None of them do.

By acting in this way, they are obviously “putting profits before children’s health.”

Not so. They have created children’s drugs that benefit children. If they can recoup their investment and even make a profit they will have capital to create more drugs that benefit children. If they don’t make a profit or market them at a loss, they go out of business and there are no more drugs to benefit children. You can have both. Children’s health and profits. They need each other.

Troy Anthony Davis was sentenced to death for the murder of Savannah police officer Mark Allen MacPhail in 1989. On August 19, 1989, Troy Anthony Davis was at a Burger King restaurant with friends and and struck a homeless man named Larry Young in the head with a pistol when Young refused to give a beer to one of Davis’s friends. Officer MacPhail, who was working an off-duty security detail at the Greyhound bus terminal next door, heard Young cry out and responded to the disturbance. Davis fled and, when Officer MacPhail, wearing his full police uniform, ordered him to stop, Davis turned and shot the officer in the right thigh and chest. Although Mark MacPhail was wearing a bullet-proof vest, his sides were not protected and the bullet entered the left side of his chest, penetrating his left lung and his aorta, stopping at the back of his chest cavity. Davis, smiling, walked up to the stricken officer and shot him in the face as he lay dying in the parking lot. The officer’s gun was still strapped in his holster and his baton was still on his belt. Davis fled to Atlanta and a massive manhunt ensued. The next afternoon, Davis told a friend that he had been involved in an argument at the restaurant the previous evening and struck someone with a gun. He told the friend that when a police officer ran up, Davis shot him and that he went to the officer and “finished the job” because he knew the officer got a good look at his face when he shot him the first time. After his arrest, Davis told a cellmate a similar story. He was arrested after surrendering a few days after the murder. Trial began exactly two years to the day of Officer MacPhail’s murder. This resulted in Davis’ conviction for murder after less than two hours of deliberation by the jury, and in the imposition of a death sentence after seven hours of deliberation. He was also convicted of obstruction of a law enforcement officer, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. One of the two counts of aggravated assault arose from an incident where Davis shot into a car that was leaving a party an hour before the murder of Officer MacPhail. Michael Cooper was struck in the head by a bullet, severely injuring him and leaving the bullet lodged in his jaw. Ballistics tests matched the shells from the murder of the police officer to shells found at a party earlier in the evening where Michael Cooper had been shot. Cooper identified Davis as the shooter. Even though the US Supreme Court rejected his final appeal without dissent in June of 2007, Davis received a 90-day stay from the state pardons and parole board just one day before his July 17, 2007 execution date. The stay was granted to examine claims by witnesses that they had given erroneous testimony or were no longer certain about their identification of Davis. Mark MacPhail’s son, 18-year-old Mark Allen MacPhail Jr. spoke against the 2007 stay to members of the Board of Pardons and Parole. “I told them how it felt having him ripped away from me at such an early age. Picture having Father’s Day and having no one to give anything to,” MacPhail said he told the board. Anneliese MacPhail, mother of the slain officer, commented to a reporter after learning that Davis’s request for a new trial was denied in March 2008. “I wonder, what do all those witnesses remember after 18 years? There is no new evidence. No mother should go through what I have been through.” Mark’s wife Joan MacPhail said she has lost her best friend, the father of her two children and now her peace of mind as appeals for Davis have drawn on for almost two decades. “It’s like another punch in the stomach,” she said. “You have to relive that night over and over. That’s so wrong. Why shouldn’t we have peace in our lives?” About the changing witnesses, the Georgia Supreme Court stated that most of the witnesses who recanted “have merely stated they now do not feel able to identify the shooter.” The majority could not ignore the trial testimony, “and, in fact, we favor that original testimony over the new.” The son of a U.S. Army Ranger, Mark MacPhail was a graduate of Columbus High School in Georgia. His mother, Anne, still lives in Columbus, Georgia. Davis received another stay of execution before his September 23, 2008 execution date.

I don’t think I’ve posted in a year or two, but that was really funny. I saw the same. You busy this weekend?:)

Palin’s fault.

Couldn’t get you yours, but to get to me, you have to drive 18 miles over a fairly memorable jeep trail, have high clearance, no fear of heights,and you can get to me in about an hour, nobody else lives out here. The census bureau guy delivered mine a couple weeks ago at 8am. Seeing two houses in the distance, occasionally used by the owner on weekends, ask if anybody lived over that way. I told him no, but there had been two guys living under an overhang in a rock formation for a couple weeks not far from there and he ask where he could leave theirs. Absolutely happened.

I have a lodge outside of Moab, nasty jeep trail to get here, 20 miles from nowhere. I’d take 200 million and if terrorists blow the place up, we call it square.

I can see the dilemma the administration is in. Gitmo 90 miles from nowhere for free, or some place putting thousands of Americans at risk and costing 200 million.

I say we put a commission together to try and figure it out.

And, if you catch them, take pictures of them, send the pictures in to BLM, they show up and catch them, the Fed attorney doesn’t think it’s a big deal and after all your hard work typically gives them at best a warning.

Now they’ll spend $4.1 million for a poll to find out if it was a good idea. It all works out.

I live in a lodge right across the Colorado river from what is now called Thelma and Louise Point. They actually drove three cars off until they got the scene right. It’s right next to Mission Impossible Two Point. Coincidence, I don’t think so.

Then they brought the boats up and pulled the cars out which is what we’ll be doing. Cleaning up after the nightmare for however many years.

It doesn’t have anything to do with our economic health, in good times, in bad, I’ve always used .... wait ..... never mind.

About 225 million years ago is when the dinosaur showed up and hung around being pretty dominant for about !60 million years. Baugh, says he now has proof man and dinosaurs were around together and he thinks the prints are about 4,500 years old. As I recall they were wiped out by a comet. Except for the one that hung around at Mineral Wells for 65 million more years so it could get in this print.

Is this a new way to try and make not pleasant news bad news for Americans to read. 5 led US soldiers? It was five Americans or 5 Afghans or 5 who?
