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.
Dolly, the sun is trying to peek thru!
Good afternoon everyone!
Just can't get this to work via FRmail....
Bayh's probably going to run for re-election as a senator, unless he gets the vp nomination, which I am thinking he wouldn't take.
Now, of course, the sun has come out.
Hallowed Ground; a Walk at Gettysburg by James McPherson, and
Gettysburg by Stephen Sears.
McPherson takes the reader over key sites on the battlefield...
Sears emphasizes the battle itself. And this book will be out by the end of this month.
Both authors put the battle into the context of the war...Sears quotes extensively from diaries and letters, from observers...
KEHOE!!!!! How could you say that about me and leave the most important part out?? Don't you remember?
I WON THAT LAWSUIT!!!!!!
Didn't know that about the reenactment, Dog. August will likely be hotter, too....
Well I'm off to Pat Catan's to look into getting something framed and look for a little extra raz-ma-tazz for a wedding present wrapping....
