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!!
Sad, but true, the United States Supreme Court upheld the Campaign Finance Act of 2001 (somehow, it seems, raising money falls under the "conduct of elections" that is under the auspices of Congress). Regarding the 2004 race, Republicans have been taking a lot of time building up their coffers early, so analysts believe for this race, the fund-raising aspects of the law will likely not hurt the GOP. That said, the speech limitation aspects give the Criminal Party a huge advantage going into the last two months of the campaign as the only non-muzzled element, or so it seems, is the media. And polling data shows about 90% of the members of that "esteemed" organization are members or relate to the Criminal Party...
Over 4,000 people took to the streets in Baghdad in a grass-roots demonstration against terrorism.
President Bush's advisors begin focusing on a race next year against Howard Dean.
The United States has stated that priority in Iraqi contracts will go to firms that belong to countries that aided the war effort. The European Union is steamed. The latter says it will protest, if the United States actually goes through with what it says, to the World Trade Court.
Finally, in an article carried by the AP, it turns out that human beings have not been responsible for global warming in the 20th and 21st centuries. Or, at least, it is not limited to that. No, our global crime, it turns out, is far more serious than that. A professor emeritus at the University of Virginia, wrote an article that will appear in December's Climatic Change, that claims humans have been responsible for global warming since the dawn of agriculture some 8,000 years ago. The moment we began clearing forests to plant crops, claims the professor, humans began altering the environment and caused carbon dioxide levels to increase. The professor did not explain, however, how there would come to be forests in Iraq, the birthplace of agriculture, which does not carry enough water for large stands of trees. Maybe, one might guess, he presumes all the trees have been cut down?
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
-5 at the moment. Winter really has set into the Midwest, and Santa is just around the corner. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
I've taken a break from talk radio for awhile, and have been listening to one of our local radio station's play of nonstop Christmas music. It has been a tonic in light of the latest Supreme Court ruling. (I did see Scalai's(Sp?) dissention. Excellent.)
Hope you all have a great day.
Happy (belated)Birthday, Molly!
Good to see you up on this fine morning.
Guennie... I mean't to thank you for all the wonderful information you gave about Disney World. We are so looking forward to this first time trip.Thank you!
How is the weather looking in a couple of weeks? Any long range forecasts out yet?
Gotta be warmer there than here, right?
Well good buddy... don't get FOX News... but we still get the Farm Report with our buddy Orin Samuelson.(sp?)
When I grow up I wanna be just like you and own my own farm.(Or maybe be a pirate...*grins*)
Heck...almighty... we used to have farms all around us, including sheep farmers. Can't believe how much heat they give off when they are sheared. (We'd help shear them during the coming of the lambing season to keep the lambs from freezing.)I loved that work... fortunately we could come and go.
Baling hay is still the best kind of work. I love it.
This morning it's 48 degrees, but the day will warm up quickly.
The past couple weeks we average in the 70's during the day, with 40's to 50's at night.
This is considered our normal winter weather.
And you're welcome on the Disney info......Let me know if you have more questions.
Personally, I think EPCOT is the most fun.
It has something for all....adults and children.
One side of the park is educational and fun rides....
...the other side are the 'countries'...and some, like England and Italy and Japan, have entertaining melodramas or musical groups on a regular basis during the day, Norway and Mexico have fun boat rides for the family, Germany has a 'Beer Garden'....France (boo, hiss :) has a really good movie in a beautiful theatre with plush seats, and an excellent French bakery.
The American Pavillion is a must see.
They have the Liberty Singers, dressed in period garb, singing patriotic music....
..and the fife and drum corp dressed in Revolutionary attire.
..but I envisioned a drunk or drugged hibitual reckless driver who might get off with a slap on the hand.
As my husband said last night, he did a lot of foolish things when he was 16.
Howwever, the point still stands that she left the scene of the accident....that will work the most against her.
Redeption....absolutely, I believe in redeption.
But it would seem the girl may already be lying by not confessing there were other folks in her car.
This will be a mess.....and I feel the most sorry for her parents, who did the right thing by calling the police.
You're always welcome to stop by and say hello. (If they haven't thrown us out!)
Thanks for the updates... it is appreciated more than you know.
God Bless!
