As we settle into the nighttime of despair, fret not, for the Sun will rise again!!
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!!
Kay - RIP.
In the news...
Russia is planning to build the world's longest tunnel. In a project being coordinated with the United States and Canada, and to which the nations of Japan, China, and South Korea have also expressed an interest in aiding, the Russians desire to build a 64-mile, three-section, highway, rail, power, fiber-optic tunnel across the Bering Strait to Alaska. The tunnel complex would cross the strait and would link to two islands across its route (thus three sections). It is expected the project would cost $12 billion--the Chinese have indicated they will fund a portion, and it will enable the shipment of Russian oil and gas to America..
A court in Montgomery county, Virginia, had found Sueng-Hui Cho, the VT madman, "mentally ill" and potentially dangerous. Specifically, the detention order has stated "presents an imminent danger to himself as a result of mental illness", and "presents an imminent danger to others as a result of mental illness". The court then let him go--allowing outpatient treatment. That was December 2005.
While the Supreme Court victory on abortion really didn't stop the vicious murdering of viable fetuses (read the opinion, sorry folks, its true) insofar as the fetus could still be killed inside the mother and then removed, there is nevertheless very good news in what the Supreme Court ruled. It may be possible to outlaw specific procedures, or even enhance the current law, so the grusome D&E process can be stopped once and for all. The Supreme Court made it very clear the process of abortion can, in fact, be regulated--although it cannot be stopped. The wording hung its hat on words like "viable", "other options", "delivery milestones", and so on. Thus, regulation of the process through appropriate legislation is now possible. The left is crying foul, so they can see this way forward too.
About a month or so ago, the DJIA crashed, taking with it two percent of its total value in one day. The left was screaming this was the end of the economic boom. Yesterday, the DJIA closed above 12,800 for the first time.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
You asked about the Leahy comments re: the Gonzalez hearing, prairie. It was what I heard him say on the radio, crying fake, crocodile tears...nothing written or posted on FR that I saw...
Just moments ago...
Harry Reid voted FOR the war. He also voted for the ban against partial birth abortion....YET he criticised the Supreme Courts decision to uphold the ban. Go figure.
Thank you for posting the information. Please ignore my FR mail to you.
I haven’t been able to listen to much of Rush the last couple of weeks, but he went absolutely ape over Harry Reid’s comment. That was the Rush I know and love!
Now, Dubya needs to either fire Gonzales or get somebody to research the Logan Act, because the RATS aren’t even bothering to hide the fact they WANT us to lose in Iraq now.
If this sort of thing had happened during WW2, I guarandamntee you FDR and J. Edgar Hoover would have locked these people up...
Looks like your guys might have this one!!!
The geese are on the move. Migrating to the Hudson Bay area of Canada!
The time of year hasn't changed in 30 years, according to my informal records.
There was a lot of talk about the migration being earlier this year because of global warming.
Rubbish!
Thanks for the info on that Molly. I’m checking in briefly, my participation will be dwindling as of next week when we seriously gear up to leave and come up north. I’m washing blankets and mattress pads from the RV today.
We had a pool party for our park members last night and had a LOT of fun playing water volleyball and sitting around visiting. There will be one last park dinner on Monday evening to make bean soup and use up the ham left over from Easter. Waste not, want not.
From what I read of the Gonzalez hearings it’s not going well for him and he’s being flatted by the RATS and Specter. We honestly don’t need any more officials who won’t stand up for themselves, this has gotten beyond ridiculous.
Harry Reid has given great encouragement to alQaeda today. Personally I think hangin’ is too good for him.
that was brutal.
Jemian, thanks for the memorial info. Appreciate all the info you put together so quickly!
well I know a group of athletes who wont be able to leave the Bronx quickly enough!
Off to small group. The Spag sauce smells wonderful.. Using Linguine for pasta
Later..
Reid must pay for this surrender comment!
No problem. Congrats on the baseball win.
Right now there is a mist in the air, with a hint it may be clearing by about 7.
I gotta go get dressed now.
I truly do not understand him. The war is won. It is past tense. What we are doing now is a mop-up action. These people have truly lost their minds.
And Gonzales!!! !@#$%^&*()_(*&^%$%^&* IT IS A WONDER THAT REPUBLICANS PROCREATE BECAUSE HALF THE EQUPIMENT IS MISSING!
I hate to write this, but here in various parts of the country, there are various high schools in lockdown over threats!!
Trying to scan some of the threads, and get supper at the same time...
Goodness, did we buy food!
BTW, I have lost, according to our scales against the doctor's scale in January, 28 pounds.
What has happened is the stress I had with my mil.. I comforted myself with food. Now, the stress is different and I eat because I must not because I want.
Strange I know, but that's me. When Mom was ill I was a size 8-10 and 126# and 5'5". When Mom had her treatments in Phillie, Gram and Gramp would invite me for dinner, (what a wonderful man and woman) Gramp would say, "You eat like a bird." Yet, I ate well.
I eat well, now, just not overly. Plus, I find I have no cravings for sweets or breads.
I'm not necessarily on Atkins, more like ..what's it called?? South Diet or perhaps ABG and lysie diet..?? :-)
They are going to search the school thoroughly tonight but are planning on holding classes tomorrow.
This is the same school where a Columbine-like plot was intercepted last fall, just days before it was supposed to happen.
Oh. I misunderstood the posts. Lost in the 9th. That is sad.
I remember after Columbine...............there were several copy-cat shootings.:(
