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!!
A reading from the First Book of Climaticus, beginning at the fourteenth verse of the Third Chapter:
14 - And so it was that the Lord looketh down upon the Eastern dwellers and observed the state of their activities.
15 - In a town upon the Potomac that goest by the name of Washington, the Lord noticed much activity and much consternation.
16 - The Lord noted there were of His kind which had foresaken the message and imputed that they, his children, were capable of usurping His province and were of thinking they, themselves but small and tiny creatures, were capable of controlling the majesty of the heavens.
17 - These kind referred to themselves as Democrats and Liberals, or a kind taken to referring to all changes in such things as the weather issues that were the results of their own activities.
18 - The Liberals referred to the product of His children by such names as Global Warming and Climate Change, but by all their nature they were saying the children of God were now capable of controlling God's work themselves.
19 - So the Lord sought to provide a message, a message that would surely humble His children and have them understand the power of His Almighty Hand.
20 - God looketh down upon the city on the Potomac and pondered what would be best for these folks, and he remembered the Great Flood once unleashed upon the land.
21 - In His ponderings, God did remember the Promise provided to His children after the Great Flood insofar as He indicated such an act would never again be visited upon the land.
22 - It was decided, however, that a small taste of the Great Flood might serve as a sufficient reminder that it is He and He alone that governs the heavens and controls the weather.
23 - So God decided that it would be visited upon the city on the Potomac and neighboring environs where the kind called Liberals frequent a continous rain, the rain lasting for not just forty days and forty nights, but until the population who had forgotten His message would be unable to remember days with sunshine.
24 - Thus the rains began, and the rains continued. Each day was visited upon the city on the Potomac more waters from the heavens.
25 - The waters issued forth in white form, in ice form, and in liquid form, but the waters came. And the children of God took notice, but those who called themselves Liberal continued to mock the work of the Lord, saying this, too, was the result of the activity of mere people.
26 - The people called Liberals ranted, and they raved. They took to the streets, and the yelled from the rooftops. Notice us, listen to us, they cried, all of this rain is the result of years upon years of human existance.
26 - But the children of God no longer listened, for they had understood all along that climate was the work of the Lord.
27 - The Children of God had come to notice, and so hath the Lord himself, the Liberals were all wet.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
Kucinich ruined Cleveland when he was mayor. That is when he got the nickname of "Dennis the Menace." He served as Mayor from 1977 to 1979. He made a total mess of the city. It went bankrupt under Dennis's bold leadership.
George Voinovich ran against Dennis in 1979 and defeated Kucinich easily. Cleveland was a financial and social mess after Dennis served one term, He was literally driving industry out of Cleveland. Voinovich did a good job of cleaning up the mess. The feeling was anyone who could clean up the Kucincich mess, could work other miracles too.
Dennis had such a terrible reputation as a screw up he was out of politics until he ran for the State office in 1995 and then for House of Representatives in 1997.
I attended a few Dennis the Menace Press Conferences back in the late 70's. At that time the Ohio press corp's opinion of Dennis was that while Dennis may not be dumber than a sack of rocks, he would be wise not to bet his lunch money on it. Dennis is really very stupid. He is the poster child for the term "useful idiot".... with emphasis on the word IDIOT.
Yep, but the city is taking it's appeal to a higher court...one that you can't reach up to! :-)
It is also genetic. The problem is my oldest daugher chose to marry a man... with the problem. They had 3 babies in less than 5 years.
I have one grandson and at least one granddaughter diagnosed with the problem.
But they are bright. When the oldest grandaughter was 5 and in kindergarden she taught her three year old sister to read.
Actually, yes I can. I have a step-ladder. :-)
