Rest In Peace Michael Jackson

Yes Mr. Ralston, a nightmare indeed!

A lack of resources + uncertainty + fear of the future = arrested development = A Poverty Trap. If an individual can be equated to a family unit, which in turn can be equated to the State, the State is a poor man with a poor family and a challenge. The challenge is to avoid the Trap.

Join the campaign by PETA to change the name of fish from "fish" to "sea kittens" in order to discourage the barbaric slaughter of these intelligent and emotional creatures.

From the PETA website:
"Whoever was in charge of creating a positive image for fish needs to go right back to working on the Britney Spears account and leave our scaly little friends alone. You've done enough damage, buddy. We've got it from here. And we're going to start by retiring the old name for good. When your name can also be used as a verb that means driving a hook through your head, it's time for a serious image makeover. And who could possibly want to put a hook through a sea kitten?"
Save the Sea Kittens.

Enjoy your day and smile.

Mike Sanford should get Chris Ault to speak to Hamrick on his behalf regarding the extension.

Coach Sanford could use some psychological counseling as well.

It's over folks!!
Given that scenario, why on Gods green earth would anyone want to live in such a politically dysfunctional, socially corrupt, socially dysfunctional, politically corrupt, governmentally inefficient, water-starved, corporate controlled, pretentious, educationally challenged, addiction-filled, misguided, politically ignorant, money-grubbing, dishonest, nepotistic, judgemental, culturally illiterate, superficial, economically fragile, ethnically fragmented, value inverted, culturally shallow, negative, over-invested in, mass-transitless, misunderstood, unsophisticated, futureless, barren wasteland of a city?

Maybe for the good things about Las Vegas?

There is no doubt that the work of mainstream media indicates a "liberal" slant. Life is tough, isn't it!

But, according to Phil Gramm, former top economic advisor to John McCain, "We have sort of become a nation of whiners. "You just hear this constant whining, complaining..."

Drill, Baby, Drill!

Amazing to see the buttons being worn by Republican delegates on the convention floor refering to Sarah Palin as "the hot chick" and "the hottest VP candidate".

The rabid chants of "Drill, Baby, Drill" coming from the convention floor were too funny if not too revealing.

John McCain has a plan for the future of Iraq.

To help the Government of Iraq quell sectarian tensions and prevent a civil war that could destabilize the Middle East.

To stay the course until Al Qaeda in Iraq is defeated. This is a strategic and moral imperative.

Position the country of Iraq to allow local and provincial political reconciliation to continue.

Maintain the presence of American troops in Iraq to expedite the implementation of provincial elections at the end of 2008 and national elections in 2009.

Aid the Iraqi government in the desemination of essential services such as clean water, garbage collection, abundant electricity, and a basic level of security.

Strengthen the American regional military posture to send a clear signal to Iran that we are determined to protect our forces and deter Iranian intervention.

Encourage the international community to apply pressure to Iran and Syria in order to elicit a change in their behavior.

Love it!
