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!!
WAR ON TERROR ALERT-- The Pravda is writing this morning the Adminstration has credible evidence that Al Qa'eda took possession of a chemical weapon, containing VX nerve gas, in either October or November from a middle eastern country, which was named. The country? IRAQ!
In a related issue, the President has ordered the military to receive smallpox innoculations, and the shots will be made available to the American public for anyone who wants them.
Otherwise...
Had power this morning! Yippee! Had three separate outages yesterday, each between 1 and 1 1/2 hours. The last coming in the evening. The morning commute was treacherous - a lot of water had refrozen over the evening, so it was very slow going.
North Korea has announced they will bring back on line an old-style nuclear reactor they had planned on decommissioning. Their reasoning is the plant is necessary because the United States has suspended oil shipments.
China, meanwhile, is expected to try and urge her neighbor (North Korea) to adopt a "different behavior."
A report shows that up to 70% of '911' calls placed from cell phones were in error. One of the leading causes is programming '911' as a speed dial number.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
We can now add the Raleigh News-Observer to the fray. And they have upped the ante. The closing paragraph of this short piece written by the AP and appearing in their outlet reads, in its entirety:
Before his election in 1972, Helms sometimes used his television and radio commentaries to defend the owners of segregated businesses and condemned civil rights marchers. He also fought a Martin Luther King holiday in 1983.
Cardinal Law to submit his resignation to the Pope.
Finnish? Not even had a breakfast muffin.
I wonder if Miss Marple wants coal for Christmas. My mother didn't even blink when I told her I wanted coal for Christmas one year. I got a nice big chink of anthracite (no fossils though).
Mr. Marple misses the mines.
President Bush giving a stirring speech in Philadelphia. Senator Lott's statement was repudiated by name, and disavowed on behalf of all Republicans. It was an excellent example of political ju-jitsu; the crowd is cheering him, and it is heavily African-American.
President Bush made special effort to repudiate segregation and discuss the history of the Republican party.
Excellent work.
We hang coal on the Christmas tree.
WASHINGTON – The White House warned Wednesday the United States was prepared to use all weapons in its arsenal, including nuclear devices, in retaliation for any attack with weapons of mass destruction on the country, U.S. military forces abroad or U.S. allies. [Emphasis added.]
Officials make questionable calls all the time, and given the fast-paced nature of the game, and angles and such, this can be expected through no real fault of the officials. The incident with Edwards however, was in clear view, plain to see, with plenty of time, and a resolved issue. Anything more than a touch or incidental contact in that situation is illegal in football and has been for many years.
An interesting interview of Sam Donaldson.

Neets and kassie I have been watching Taken also.
