HOW TO START EACH DAY WITH A POSITIVE OUTLOOK

Just for fun!

1. Create a new file in your computer.
2. Name it "Hillary Rodham Clinton"
3. Send it to the trash.
4. Empty the trash.
5. Your PC will ask you, "Do you really want to get rid of "Hillary
Rodham Clinton?" 6. Firmly Click "Yes."
7. Feel better?

PS: Next week we'll do Nancy Pelosi

Lite....

Here’s the guy who dropped into a pizza restaurant in central London, jumped up on a table, and administered a self-penectomy . . . . . And here’s the guy who apparently (it was from Germany’s Bild) camped overnight in the warm ATM vestibule at a bank in Wiesenburg, and brought his horse in with him [bonus: photo].

Have a great day!

9:10 AM

The phone rings, I am at work with the news of VT ringing loudly on the television.
My son who I said goodbye to at 7:15 this morning calls to tell me that there is a gunman on the loose and his school is being put on lock down. He then proceeds to tell me he is not currently at school, he is sitting a mere 6 blocks away on the school bus. They are not letting anyone in or out of school and they have to wait on the bus until they are allowed in. 6 blocks away! sitting on a bus. Finally they lead the bus with full police guard they unload at the school with police protection they are lead into the school and told to go quickly.

It turns out that a bank 3 blocks away was held up at gun point, where 3 men thought they could get away with a robbery. Since I have heard that 1 has been shot and taken to the hospital, the 2nd has been taken into custody, and the 3rd is still on the run... god knows where.

In that moment that I received that call my heart sank to my feet. I am so glad he is safe now. Where I can smell his hair and touch his face and know today he will be OK. But what kills me as a parent is that we don't know what will happen and at what point we can feel safe.

Here is the link to the story: To close to home for me.

Virginia Tech


33 lives lost My thoughts prayers are with ALL families!As a parent I could not imagine the thought of sending your child to school for an education and see anything like today happen. Kiss your kids and hold them tight, who knows what tomorrow will bring.May the families find strength during this difficult time.

update

The White House and Ford Motor Company now say that spectacular near-miss by President Bush (plugging into the fuel supply of the electric car)didn’t happen the way the Ford CEO told it. [ But, still, is plugging into the fuel supply a possibility? That could make Ford’s legal dept. forget all about the Pinto.]

Nappy Head Ho's

Big fucking whoppy doo. Imus, In a joking matter, called a team, not all of which are black, Nappy headed ho's! Stop the world call Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the NAACP. Lord knows they have nothing better to do than march in front of NBC. They need the money and the spotlight. How exactly do they make a living anyway? Let me say that what he did say was in fact crass and disturbing, BUT! Had Eddie Murphy, or any other black comedian said it sitting in that very same studio it would have not been given a second thought..... Chris Rock for example goes on black bashing tyrades in his comedy routines.

Just this morning walking my son into school I hear this conversation...

Boy 1- Hey nigger whats up!
Boy 2- Not much black bean?
I kid you not! Guess what color they were? Oh comon you know you want to!

Both were black.... Imagine if 1 white kid said that to a black kid?

Let's just let him go to rehab thats what everyone else gets away with!

**Done venting**

things you don't hear about....

Detroit News buried the lede: This note is ostensibly about the Ford Motor Company CEO grabbing President Bush before he disastrously plugs into the wrong thing at a Ford electric-car demonstration, but, seriously, is this car really that dangerous that it’ll blow up if you mis-plug it? . . . .

and,

You thought Walter Reed was the end of the agony for veterans? The Washington Post reports that almost 400,000 disability claims are pending (135,000 of them for more than 160 days) . . . . .
