We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail!
Good morning!! Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
Reaction in Congress to the President's draft resolution was wholly along partisan lines. Republicans hailed the resolution and said it should be adopted. Demonflops, notwithstanding the language was based largely on a former resolution sponsored by IML Daschle, said changes needed to be made. Such changes would include, if the illegitimate chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senator Levin, had his way, requiring the President to get UN authorization for an attack before starting combat.
US intelligence agenices are trying to track down a missing Sudanese Air Force pilot who, it is said, is planning to hijack an aircraft and fly it into the White House.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed below 8,000 yesterday.
And the White House is furious over a German official's remark comparing President Bush to former German leader Adolf Hitler.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
We'll be home safe by 7 for the night.
Ah, the ignorance of youth.
It does, however, seem that KS/MO has been granted a rest the last decade and that those east of us and places like Salt Lake (of all places) have gotten mother natures attention.
Whoops They just mentioned Akron...oh well. It's a coming, I guess..
Prayers for Jane and her family.
I lived in Illinois during my teen years ... and I recall a rousing time chasing one on a two lane road near DeKalb ... banked on both sides by cornfields ... on a sweet BSA650 motorcycle ... this is when I was convinced I was thoroughly undamagable ... though my parents must have aged 10 years for every week I rode the thing ....
Nobody has yet conceived of a way to beat Mother Nature ....
BTW ... I really am not here ... I can't be ... truly ... gots to gets ...
Today's topic - affirmative action and quotas.
Girl child raises a point with the teacher - "what if you have two job applicants, a hispanic and a white, for a single job, and the white person is more qualified but there are only hispanic slots remaining?" [Excellent opening question - the answer is obvious to a leftist, allows the leftist the opportunity to appear superior, and suggests ignorance on the part of the interregator.]
Answer - "the hispanic gets the job." [As expected.]
Girl child says, "ok, but let's suppose the same situation, but there are only white slots remaining?" [Taking it up a notch, still leaving wiggle room for the expected leftist answer.]
Answer - "the hispanic would still get the job as this person is a minority." [As expected.]
Girl child continues, "all right, what, then, if the hispanic is more qualified, and there are only hispanic slots remaining - if in the last situation the hispanic got the job, then shouldn't the white person get the job in this situation? Or are there no situations in which the white person will get the job" [KA-BOOM!]
Silence from the teacher - she knew she had been had by a 13-year-old she had seriously underestimated.
Girl child done good!!!
