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.
People have no idea of the power they are responsible for when they drive a car. Most are operating on the hairy edge of control and are oblivious to it.
Sorry if I tweeked you there.
The car approached me head-on, and then veered onto the lawn of the church. It did not slow down and blasted through the sign, hitting the couple, and then gunned the engine and sped away.
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday Miss Molly!
Happy Birthday to you!
Found out last night that boychild will be arriving for his "Christmas exodus" next Friday at 10:05 p.m.; we will pick him up at the airport.:) :) :)

Prayers for you, and for all who were involved.
"Thought she had hit something" is amazing. I'm already on my girl child (whom I've sometimes addressed as "She who wants to be driving in a couple of years) on rule 1 of driving: "NEVER hit a human. If there's going to be an accident, God forbid, hit anything else (though I would also perfer, within reason, that you avoid the rest of God's creatures too), but NEVER hit a human."
She had more than a little angst, but understood her role in all of this, and thus her responsibility, when we had an exchange of questions on "Rule 1" surrounding how far that would go. She wanted to know if there were "exceptions" for "NEVER" - I said, simply, "no; never is absolute." On more elaboration--which included a legal lesson tailored for a 14-year-old that pointed out the courts will not care whehter it was an "accident," if human injury was involved--she also came to understand that means it's her responsibility to give up all to protect the pedestrian.
The girl involved in this accident obviously didn't have that sense of responsibility or learn that lesson.
Now she had better pray, and hope the prayers of others are answered; if the husband with critical injuries doesn't survive, then she will have a legal nightmare--death occurring as the result of felonious activity, to wit: hit and run.
To me, it's obvious the girl is scared, possibly of her parents reaction, what with her variation on "it's only a scratch" view of the whole affair.
She should be scared of the legal system. Her nightmare has only just begun.
kay, those colorful fairies: Memories of Cinderella came flooding over me!
Thanks for the b.d wishes Chairman, MozartLover and Redleg Duke.
MozartLover, we have 2 performances down, 1 to go, tomorrow. Plus I've got all the church music still. Tonight we have big rehearsal with orchestra. I hope it's a good one. We were shakey on Sun.
French Panel Recommends National Government Ban Wearing of Religious Dress in Public Schools
President ChIRAQ is said to approve of the measure.
It is also worth noting in the article there are French elements that specifically refer to this as "separation of church and state." Exactly what the bastardization of the Establishment clause has become in the mind of the leftist radicals that have found their way into positions of authority in this country.
