We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail! [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!!
Jiang Zemin may have stepped down as President of China, but he still retains control of that Nation's military.
Director Tom Ridge is expected to be nominated as the first Secretary of Homeland Security.
And Britain's Medical Officer (akin to our Surgeon General) announced that his country will begin an education campaign to inform British subjects how to respond to a biological or chemical attack.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
I need to call it a night. God bless us all. Each and every one.

I picked up a lot of good ideas tonight for our Christmas dinner.....that's one of the reasons I wanted to go. I even found out where I can get a boar's head.:)
I still need to convince someone to be the jester, though........maybe younger boychild would be willing........
Elsewhere, I saw yesterday, I think, some worry over the new minority leadership. Who ever heard of the minority leader? Nobody gives a damn for a minority leader unless that person becomes majority leader.
Nance just signed up for obscurity.
Two other things from yesterday's thread I awoke with this morning: 1) Gore's complaint that a "conservative" court robbed him of the election; and 2) the art prize awarded in Colorado of a self-portrait of some kid posed as a suicide-bomber.
Gore is half-right. The Court "conserved" an election result. That's as far as it goes. Legal types have complained that the decision was "activist" in that it interfered in traditional realm of the States. But Gore is dumber than he thinks we know he is. He thinks that we'll pay attention to him because he's pointing out some hypocrisy on the part of a "conservative" Court. He thinks this will make us question that Court. He thinks we think he's so dumb to say that that we'll actually consider what he said. That's called patronizing. It's also stupid. He's dumber even than we think he is.
That decision did interfere with a State. It interfered with a State court that was trying to interfere with a Federal office and the Constitutional structures for its appointment. We'll hear about this forever. I'm glad he's still saying it. There's not an American who in their heart wishes Gore were President today. Whenever he reminds us of 2000 he reminds us of how fortunate we are that he is not President. That must mean that we're sure glad for a "conservative" Court.
Do you follow, Al?
On the art prize, I'm inclined to think that the idiot's point is actually lessened by the sanction of the prize. Imagine the outrage he could demand were his artwork banned? Nothing empowers dissent like censure. Reason must prevail unto itself, and this one is self-evident. OK, you got your stupid picture, now shut up. They kid can't complain now, so his message is stillborn.
Frankly, I'm about to decide that the man is seriously delusional. I hope that someone somewhere is measuring him for a straitjacket because at the rate he's going it won't be long before they need to put him in one .... and Tipper, too.
I expect any day now to see a picture on Drudge with Al curled up in fetal position sucking his thumb.
Yesterday's Thread (11/15/02)
Sheboygan Falls Mutual, a subsidiary of Western Mutual.
Though the frame of the house was intact, they wanted us to rebuild upon the foundation. (The fire was in Jan. of 96.) However, as we went through the freeze/thaw season, we started seeing cracks in the foundation. The insurance company tried telling us that the cracks were pre-existing. It took 2 contractors, and the County Inspector to condemn the house before we could get full settlement. It was a damned nightmare.
We found out later that had we built upon the pre-existing foundation, no insurance carrier would have ever insured us.
I often wonder how some of these people live with themselves?
