The snail darter
You won’t like this
In the early 70’s a small minnow like fish called a snail darter stopped construction of a multimillion dollar hydro electric dam in Tennessee for several years.
Environmentalists discovered it in the river water and declared it an endangered species and filed suit to prevent its habitat from being destroyed.
After several years it was decided to capture the little creatures and move them to another location. They are doing fine and reproducing like mad.
Since then thousands of creatures and plants have been added to the ENDANGERED SPECIES list and must be saved at all cost.
ALSO, SINCE THEN, ABORTION OF MILLIONS OF HUMAN BABIES, DESTROYING MILLIONS OF HUMAN BABIES, CRUSHING THE SKULLS OF MILLIONS OF NEWBORN BABIES, THROWING MILLIONS OF HUMAN BEINGS IN THE GARBAGE,
HAS BECOME A NON-EVENT!!!!!
I told you would not like this, BUT HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO PLAY THE OSTRICH GAME AND KEEP OUR HEAD IN THE SAND?
Sorry, but somebody had to say it.
And we need to say it and keep saying it over and over.

Clinton seeks a 'smart power' Middle East strategy
By ROBERT BURNS and ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated Press Writers Robert Burns And Anne Flaherty, Associated Press Writers 3 mins ago
WASHINGTON – Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday that she intends to revitalize the mission of diplomacy in American foreign policy, calling for a "smart power" strategy in the Middle East and implicitly criticizing the Bush administration for having downgraded the role of arms control.
At a daylong confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, President-elect Barack Obama's choice for secretary of state, Clinton appeared headed for easy confirmation.
She encountered no challenges to her basic vision for foreign policy.
(Comment: What is smart power? If it's good, why has it just now been discovered by the Queen? How long has she known about it?
No challenges? NO CHALLENGES?!!! Wow!!
"Slick Willie" was a good name for Bill.
Now we have "Greasy Hill. "
NO CHALLENGES?!!! Unbelievable!
You are watching a B grade movie starring the Queen of Gall!)

Christmas 2008
CHRISTMAS 2008
Since my candidates did not win the election, I woke up November 5 with a BAH_HUMBUG attitude. The thought of Christmas was not on my mind, only how sorry I felt for myself , John and Sarah. What a blow it must have been for them after working so hard.
But now it is December. Jingle Bells is playing every where. Salvation Army pots are in front of every store I go to. We got our first Christmas card on November 29. My e-mail box is full of "once -in-a-lifetime" bargains from Best Buy, Walmart, Kohls, JC Penney, Macys, Dillards and Home Depot.
Things seem normal for December as I lay down for my afternoon nap. I don’t want to miss my nap because science has determined that naps improve your memory and I need all the help I can get.
Then again, I need to forget some things. Things like Obama appointing his bitter enemy Hilliary Rotten Clinton as Secretary of State for the United States of America.
Makes me wonder. As Hill travels around the world spreading good cheer, will Willie accompany her or will he be left to plow for himself?
ORRRRRRRR!!!!!!! Will Willie replace Hill as the Senator from New York??? Wow! What a racket!!. Willie now draws pay as ex-President plus an unlimited stipend. When Hill retires as Senator, she will draw her Senate pay plus Secretary of State pay and Willie will start drawing Senate pay, also. THIS HAS TO BE THE ULTIMATE IN DOUBLE-DIPPING!!!!!!
I think I am going to be sick. Long live medicare.
Christmas may not be merry.
Maybe it will help if I STOP taking naps.

Life goes on
Life goes on.
The election has come. The election has gone.
The sun came up on time this morning. The sun set on time this evening,
The TV and radio still work. Time has not stood still.
That guy in the mirror looks the same, just older and a little sad.
But life goes on.
God is still in control. God is wiser than I. God has his plan and he works his plan.
I know he hears my prayers but HE knows what tomorrow will bring. I do not.
HE knows what is best for me. I do not.
Life goes on.
I went to church this morning as usual. I heard a wonderful sermon on THE PRESENCE OF GOD. I felt good. I was not harassed or criticized or belittled. Nothing has changed.
The election is over.

A Hug
An unexpected hug
Each month six or more couples from church meet at a restaurant for dinner and visiting.
Our dinner for October was Friday night-----HALLOWEEN NIGHT.
As is our custom, my wife, Clarene, and I dress for the occasion.
I bought a Batman mask, cape, shirt and one of his famous Batman flashlights. Clarene went as Catwoman.
Needless to say we created quite a stir when we entered the restaurant and got numerous comments while eating dinner.
But the highlight of my evening came after dinner.
I decided to walk through the diners and stopped a several tables to ask "Have you seen Robin? I loaned him the Batmobile and he was supposed to pick me up."
Well, the answer was "No!" of course.
I stopped at one table where a couple and their two little boys were eating. One boy was about eight years old and I asked him if he had seen Robin. He said NO but I could tell he was pretty excited at seeing Batman face to face.
I continued on the the rest room. Then I went back to the little boy’s table. I shined my Batman flashlight on the table and he really got excited and he asked me "Can I have it? Can I have it?" I had not expected to lose my flashlight like that, but I said "Sure you can".
I continued on and went out the front door. As I stood there talking, the little boy and his father came out the door. His father said "He wants to thank you. You just made his day".
He did thank me and then gave me a hug, and MADE MY DAY!!

An American President-or something else
Today is Halloween 2008. Oh joy. Only 4 days to election day. This should be a momentous occasion for ALL Americans. Being elected President is the dream of thousands. And this year it would be nice to have two bonafied American heros vieing for this greatest of manmade honors.
However, it is not to be.
We do have one hero, a real American, one who has served us well all his adult life, a patriot , an individual with a strong desire to be our leader in these trying times.
Unfortunately, we have one who is not a hero, not even a good American, one who hates our flag, hates the Star Spangled Banner, and refuses to pledge allegiance to United States, but has a silver tongue, smooth with words but no substance, promising wonderous changes. Burp.
Our president is Commander-in-chief of our armed forces. How could one so un-American be elected President???
Think about it.
