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!!
Vice President Cheney stated yesterday that Al Qa'eda had been hurt since the 9/11 attacks, but was still actively recruiting members to perpretrate attacks on the American homeland.
The search continues for the pilots of two planes lost over Iraq. It is believed the planes collided during operations in bad weather.
In Pittsburgh yesterday, police arrested a deaf-mute man for shooting his deaf-mute sister and his deaf-mute brother-in-law for attempting to move his deaf-mute parents.
And the media did finally get around to commenting on Laura Bush's performance before the National Press Club. The headline of the op-ed piece in the NY Times went thus: LAURA BUSH TALKS DIRTY. The content of the article lived up to the billing--a total hit piece.
The leftstream media cannot buy a clue to find a clue as to how to get it. They are hopeless.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
Praying everyone in your household gets better!
>>Doing laundry now
[yawn] Is that what all that noise is?
Yes, I'm making all kinds of noise down here.
I'm drinking Folgers right now, Special Roast.
Good morning.
Drinking coffee and doing laundry here, too.
It's amazing what all I can get done while everyone is still sleeping.
Meanwhile, youngsters who use the left-wing drug, marijuana, are more likely to develop serious mental health problems the government said Tuesday. A private group said law enforcement increasingly is targeting people who smoke and deal the drug. Past medical studies have linked marijuana with a greater incidence of mental disorders such as depression or schizophrenia. But questions remain about whether people who smoke marijuana at a young age are already predisposed to mental disorders, or whether the drug caused those disorders. Last night's M. Savage's radio show took callers from lefties who smoked weed.
A conservative political action committee has charged Google with bias, saying the popular search engine rejected the PAC's request to run an anti-Nancy Pelosi ad that had nearly identical wording to one that slammed Rep. Tom DeLay, the Republican majority leader
More than 50,000 blank high school diplomas will be recalled by the Louisiana Department of Education because of a chance that was not approved by Superintendent Cecil Picard. A department committee made a change in the date, switching A.D. to C.E., the nonreligious “common era.” Picard has ordered the "C.E." diplomas to be destroyed.
On the eve of Britain's Election Day, the opinion polls tell the same story they have told throughout the campaign -- that Mr. Blair will win a third straight term, the first Labour prime minister to do so (Blair's view was that Saddam's flouting of U.N. Security Council resolutions on weapons inspections provided all the public and legal justification needed to oust the dictator). The Tories will soon have been out of power for longer than at any time since the 18th century, which suggests that, even if the party is not quite dead, it is very sickly and the prognosis is not good.
THE FED RAISED interest rates for the eighth time, bringing its target for the federal-funds rate to 3%, but issued an unusual correction to its policy statement about two hours after the end of its meeting.
An attack in Iraq left at least 50 people dead, after an Iraqi carrying hidden explosives entered a police recruitment center and set them off in the Kurdish city of Irbil.
U.S. auto sales surged in April after a slow start to the year. Japanese auto makers gained market share over GM and Ford.
David Cook and Roger Green have an interesting alternative to sending software work halfway around the world. Send it about three miles outside of Los Angeles, right on the Pacific Ocean. The entrepreneurs plan to purchase a cruise ship which they'll staff with 600 software engineers. Messrs. Cook and Green say one of the biggest problems with outsourcing is simply the distance. By setting up a team of engineers just offshore, executives will be able to check up on their projects without "killer flights to India."
Did you know the English brought the concept of mown grass to the U.S., and they imported the earliest grass seed. Pastures of grass fed cows and sheep, and they looked nice, too. Lawns of smooth, green grass pit humans against nature in a pitifully lopsided contest. Nature has all the big guns: moles, voles and other obnoxious animals; droughts and floods; insects, viruses and, the coup de grace, weeds. People have a few defensive weapons: sprinklers, lawn-care services, weed wackers, pesticides, herbicides and fertilizer. Nature always wins.
Support for the decision to go to war in Iraq has fallen to its lowest level (41%) since the campaign began in March 2003, according to a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll released Tuesday
Republicans have won a victory in their challenge to the election of Governor Gregoire. The judge says Republicans will be allowed to use "proportional analysis" to prove their case that illegal votes swayed the election.
My link in the first paragraph above was not to the cartoon. Here it is....
C.E. = Common Era. I have never heard of this.
Thanks for the news in a nutshell. Interesting facts about lawns.
Good job!
Raven, thanks for your early news clips. I appreciate those when I am trying to get an idea of what's going on.
A year ago tomorrow, (May 5, 2004) the New York Times ran a front-page article headlined "Disney Is Blocking Distribution of Film That Criticizes Bush."
That was just a year ago?
I'm having a hard time waking up.
I'm wide awake, now.
I don't know what happened, but at 4:00 I woke up ready to start the day. About 1:00 I'll probably crash.
thank you so much for this daily "gift" of hilights of the news... just about perfect for my schedule for now
Good morning.
I haven't 'seen' you in awhile.
Good Morning. I'm waiting for the coffee to be ready. My eyes will hardly focus until the first cup.
After starting at 4:00, a nap at 1:00 makes sense, kassie.
