We will not live in fear! [President Bush]
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!!
In a departure from the normal characteristics of the shootings in the Washington area, a woman was gunned down by a single bullet at a Home Depot store located at Seven Corners in Falls Church, VA. If this is the sniper, it would be the first attack inside the Beltway.
Police found a white van in Baltimore with a high-power rifle, .223 ammunition, a sniper manual, and a sign on the front dashboard "Jihad in America."
In Florida, polling data shows Gov. Bush with the support of 48%, and McBride at 45%, with three weeks left till the election.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
You stated that very well, Molly. Amen!
Red Green is a bearded Canadian carpenter who's really handy with his hands, and can find great uses for duct tape. He hosts "The Red Green Show", where he and his nerdy nephew, Harold, teach the viewers how to make excellent and useful crafts, as well as give marriage advice, from their home at Possum Lodge. Also, he plays games with Dalton Humphries where he must try to get him to guess a word by giving examples of it or saying a sentence it would be used in. Red also appears in a black-and-white series with the bungling Bill Smith were they show young viewers things like how to hunt and the existence of gravity. Other characters who frequently appear are the deprived Ranger Gord, who lives on top of a 100-foot tower on top of a 200-foot hill, has been guarding the watch tower for 16 years without a vacation and has no friends; the golf-obsessed loser Bob Stuyvestant who knows nothing about women; Buzz Sherwood, a daredevil pilot; and Winston Rothschild III, a loyal!
It's kind of off beat, but I think it's hilarious, especially for men who can laugh at themselves. Red Green is the head of the Possum Lodge, a lodge for men in some small town in Canada. Harold is his nephew who is a 100% dweeb. They have a bunch of regular features on the show such as "Handyman's Corner" (if women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy), "Adventures with Bill," and a game something like Password. There are a bunch of goofball members of the Possum Lodge who make it onto the show regularly.
Here's a good website where you can learn the basics about the show: The Red Green Show.
That is absolutely my favorite line from Red Green, and sooo true. :)
For years and years I have been preaching that the lack of accountability and responsibility in the world has to do with all of the psychobabble that goes on. I'm so sick and tired of hearing, "I'm not responsible. My mother/father/sister/brother/someone else is at fault because they did thus and so to me.
Surely, there are those who have horrid things happen to them that they can not rise above, but that has to do with character and personality. Others with the same, and sometimes worse things, rise above their problems and become contributing members of society.
I sometimes wonder if a lot of this didn't start with Dr. Spock and his no discipline doctrine.
Here are a few other favorites:
"Keep your stick on the ice."
"It's so darned easy and idiot can do it and I can prove it."
"Be the very best you can be --- considering..."
"Here's the part of the show where we cater to the young people- or as we call it, 'filler'."
"ANY tool can be the right tool."
"What's the difference between a Lodge member and a canoe? A canoe tips."
Harold: "You guys are scary when you get together." Red: "Well Harold, you're scary all by yourself."
As long as the military is in a supporting role, and not arresting people or serving warrents, it's perfectly legal. There is a segment of FR that sees dictatorship around every corner.

And that would mean the finding role would be acceptable?
