As we settle into the nighttime of despair, fret not, for the Sun will rise again!!
Good morning!!
We, here, will never forget those who died on September 11, 2001, as we seek to protect the Republic from all who will do her harm!!
MSNBC has dropped Imus in response to his comments about a black woman's basketball team. A Pennsylvania DJ was fired for merely repeating what Imus had said.
The UN wants to use New York city police in peacekeeping missions--primarily to train other localities police forces.
Fred Thompson, who is said to be considering running for President, disclosed he has lymphoma, which is currently in remission.
India test fired a missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead to anywhere in Asia.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
Good morning, darlin’. How are you this fine day?
I’m glad you went to the dr., Mozie. Hope that anti-inflamatory shot works eventually although you said you have had some relief.
Rest as much as you can. I know that is difficult when you have committments.
Love you!!
I’ve been reading the biography of Martha Gellhorn, who was a writer and war correspondent during WWII and before, actually. She was in Spain during their war with Ernest Hemmingway, who she later married.
The point is she was a very angry lib throughout her life. She admitted it was her anger that kept her going. But she did not have time for the appeasement of the English and French before WWII. She traveled a lot and has written about her travel experiences. She was very feisty and fearless. The book is very interesting.
One of the reasons I am so adamant about keeping the tone of discussion elevated when we talk about politics is that it is so easy to descend into an "us vs. them" way of thinking, and I am seeing too much of it here on FR. First we were divided democrat and Republican, then liberal Republican. vs. conservative, and NOW it seems that every candidate's supporters are circling the wagons while attacking all of the rest.
Same thing with the Duke case. what's really a shame is that those young men would be the BEST people the black community could get to help them with unjustified prosecutions...but the students are instead being trashed by the people that they could help.
Tony Snow doesn’t have liver cancer? Wow, when was this reported?
Those are good points, Jemian. I think we need our own television station and a huge slew of our own attorneys. We need to have parents get more involved in their kids schooling; if parents knew some of the things being taught to their kids, I like to believe they’d put a stop to it.
I just don’t know what will turn things around anymore. Really I don’t. It’s human nature to want handouts and that’s the way I see our society going. The military sacrifices a lot. And people like you have sacrificed a lot. But mostly I see folks out for themselves and what they can get out of someone.
Gone are the days of JFK’s democrat party; Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.
Well, Mr. Peach’s phone call is over and I’m back to watching Planet Earth with him.
But that's the nice thing about ATRW...............I can say that here and not worry about being flamed or starting some huge war of words.
Well, I think I will live to see the failure of this great democracy.
You would not believe the vile things I’m witnessing going into law this year.
Tomorrow though I must make it out to the university for about 3 hours in the afternoon.................and then Sat. night I have to play for the recital......I'm accompanying 2 instrumental students.......
In between I will do nothing but rest, rest, rest some more.
I can't believe how this thing has just totally flattened me. I have NO energy. None; and I get light-headed when I' m on my feet for more than a minute or so.Yesterday I leaned over to toss something in the wastebasket and just kept going..... luckily there was a wall there to break my fall. When I walk its feels as if I'm walking UP an incline. That could be due to congestion in my ears.
Well, nobody likes a whiner, so I'll stop complaining.
I guess I can cross Iowa off my “places I would like to retire” list, huh?
Hi, Molly. I agree about ATRW :-)
I think his comments were revolting as well and have said as much on other threads about this. I’ve never watched more than 5 minutes of Imus total so I’m certainly not a supporter. I guess what’s disturbing to me is that the Harry Belafonte’s of the world can call Condi Rice anything they want (slave mistress, etc.) and no one decides that they will never hire Harry again. People (democrats) can say pretty much any ugly thing they want and they seem protected. It’s the hypocrisy that gets me, that and having the race baiters of the country claim some kind of moral authority.
Haven't even played one on television.:)

....and all of that is disturbing to me as well. It's all bad; it's all wrong.
But excusing the I-Man wouldn't make any of it right.
JMHO.
They both have 12 letters, they both start with MO and end with ER. When someone reads in a hurry (as I often do myself) it can be easy to mis-read.
Either that or it's because we are identical twins. ;-D
Our culture has become coarse, vulgar, and cruel. It is unbelievable what people will say on radio ant TV, and no one calls them on it. We had a talk radio show here in town (which is nationally syndicated) have a female call-in guest URINATE over the phone, on air.
And people wonder why I mostly listen to Catholic radio.
I don't feel sorry for Imus at all. He spent too many years trashing all sorts of innocent people and simply crossed the wrong person...Hillary if you ask me.
One good thing about this is that I am hearing a lot of discussion about the lyrics in rap music, which I think is long overdue for some criticism. And also a lot of people are asking how Al Sharpton got involved, and who made him and Jesse the arbiters of all that is right, given Tawana Brawley.
You can complain all you like - this doesn’t sound pleasant at all. Is it safe for you to drive if you have this light headedness? Also, how can you play piano if you feel this bad?
This certainly sounds like the flu that has been around all winter. The lack of energy, etc.
Continue to rest and take care of yourself.
Absolutely!
Okay, more ice cream, more couch time. Here I go.
Hope springs eternal.:)
.......and now off to the afore-mentioned couch with the afore-mentioned ice cream.
Ice cream! The very thing! I bought diet ice cream sandwiches and I am going to go get one right now! It’s bound to cheer me up (and I have 5 points I haven’t used yet, so I won’t even be cheating!)
