Yes, I got it the first day, and in my humble opinion it was worth the"hype". So far, I believe it better then Halo 2; however, I have not decided if it is as good as Halo 1... Sure the graphics are better and...but, will it mean as much to the "video game" industry and "elderly" players like myself - Is
3 as "ground breaking" as the
1? I haven't decided, but I am enjoying it - Regression at it's funnest!
From Iraq Katie Couric has some interesting things to say -
He took me to Fallujah, which really he believes is a crowning achievement for U.S. forces in Iraq and a role model if you will...
[...]
...and now Fallujah is relatively calm, reconstruction efforts are under way, and as I said, it is really being considered a crowning achievement.
[...]
Well I was surprised, you know, after I went to Eastern Baghad. I was taken to the Allawi market which is near Haifa street which was the scene of that very bloody gun battle back in January and you know this market seemed to be thriving and there were a lot of people out and about. A lot of family owned businesses and vegetable stalls and so you do see signs of life that seem to be normal.
Then there is the "appology" for anything she says that might seem positive!
Of course that’s what the U.S. military wants me to see so you have to keep that in mind as well.

Craig quits over sex scandalBOISE, Idaho (Reuters) - Republican Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho, caught in a sex scandal that quickly lost him the support of his party after his arrest in a men's toilet, said on Saturday he would resign from the U.S. Senate.
But - Let's look at the others that need to go, that need to be "thrown under the bus"!

Well for me the college football season started last night and to my dismay "the Vols" lost their first one; however, California didn't look like the team that came to Knoxville last year. Tennessee gave up fourteen points on "non-offensive" plays, which happened to be exactly what they lost by...
I cannot blame those fourteen points on their loss, but I can say, the Vol defense has me worried about out the season. Well let's hope for the best.
Golden Bears get revenge with 45-31 victory over Volunteers (12) California 45, (15) Tennessee 31

Was it a success or wasn't it? That is the question, and much like the subject "Global Warming" no one seems to agree.
We have this head line - "Two Billion", sounds like a success doesn't it?
Two billion watch Live Earth concertsThen there is the "Live Earth fails...", sounds like it wasn't as success doesn't it?
Live Earth fails to pack large-scale punchBut then we get to the main reason for the even and for Gore's participation...
Al Gore slams global warming doubters at Live Earth"Some who don't understand what is now at stake tried to stop this event on the Mall," the former Democratic presidential candidate said in a thinly veiled hit on members of President George W. Bush's Republican party.
"But here we are," he said as an image of a bright Earth shined behind him. "And it wasn't the cavalry who came to our rescue, it was the American Indian."
A few hundred spectators turned out for the concert, which began at 10:30 am
It was a political statement, that is it, I am unimpressed with Gore's quest for a legacy and/or a possible why back to the political arena. By the way let's not overlook the fact that the Washington sight managed to gather a "few" hundred - whoopee!
As for me - I am a what is affectionately called a Global Warming "denier"; however, I choose to spend my time watching the "carbon rich" Pepsi 400 which I am sure was much more exciting - Resulting in a "photo finish"!
I guess actually spying on Americans, unlike the "domestic spying" accusation, is OK. Well maybe it just because it is in association with a Clinton - So it's OK!
Clinton Pollster Sued Over E-MailsHillary Rodham Clinton's chief strategist is being accused of illegal eavesdropping in a civil lawsuit that alleges he and his polling firm monitored the personal e-mails of a former associate who started a rival company.

I thought the problem was supposed to be the poor, misguided, and unfairly treated that were upset with the west - No, the hate was based on their religion only. We were to believe we only need to be kinder and "fairer" and all the terror will go away... Puff, there goes another idea of the left - If their listening.

Speaking as an American born citizen who is married to an American citizen who gained her citizenship through proper immigration - Not by amnesty nor a blanket granting, but by hard work and devotion to her "new" country - I feel I can speak to this... What polls? How was the question presented? Did the pollster ask - Are you for making illegal immigrant, those mostly of one ethnicity, citizens over night or pardoning these illegal immigrants immediately even if they do not want to be citizens?
Did they ask that question and do you really believe that most Americans would say yes? If you do, I have a nice piece of land in the swaps of Louisiana for sale or a grand deal on part of the Brooklyn bridge!
The President, one who I voted for and would still vote for given my 2004 choices, says we need to read the bill - Well I am not sure he did... Have you? By the way, I ain't the President on this one!
Amnesty? What amnesty? Critics substitute fear for facts - Yahoo! NewsAlthough polls show that most Americans support giving illegal immigrants a path to citizenship,

Here is the
website for Fred Thompson...
The wife and I visited the newest memorial in our area - a Korean War memorial... My wife took a nice floral arrangement. God bless them and their families and may we never forget.
Have a great Memorial Day, but remember!
...and may we never FORGET!
It is a shame that a country founded has gotten to this level of ignorance regarding God... Of course, it doesn't same much that the media and academia believe religion, Christian, and God are all the same - They are not!
Blind FaithAmericans are also the most religiously ignorant people in the Western world. Fewer than half of us can identify Genesis as the first book of the Bible, and only one third know that Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount.
Christian conservatives pledge support for '08 Thompson bidI keep seeing articles like this - Mr. Thompson should, might, is going to....etc. He is probably the most favored and celebrated "possible" Republican candidate - But, will he or is he going to live up to the hype? I really have not given it much thought - I feel it is kind of like comparing the '70 Steelers to the 90' Cowboys, all speculation until he actually enters the race.
If he does will he be the one? Is he all he is said to be? Or, will he fail to live up the billing and ultimately hurt the "true" Republican conservatives and the whole Republican party as a whole?

Mother of fallen Marine copes with the haunting 'what ifs'This article from a local paper talks of an "educated" caucasian who's family was lives in a "prominent" upper middle-class neighborhood. It talks of a "choice" during wartime... The story indicates that monies were available to send him to expensive schools. My point, it goes against the only poor kids with no choice are joining the military lie that the MSM spreads regularly, and my guess is the writer is in for some trouble - She didn't even get the parents to badmouth the President.
All kidding asside - I feel for this mother, especially on Mother's Day; However, I would like to say that she should have not but pride for son and I honor him in my thought and prayers... This country is indebted to you and your family!

I guess it is official - I am old... I have officially been told I must have reading glasses, actually bifocals was the word; however, I avoided those for now by having corrective contacts for distance and readers for reading and computer! Age, you just cannot stop it.
Remember -
John 19:30 (NKJV) 30So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
You would not believe how many
technology challenged people sent me an e-mail asking what I knew about this - Was good for a laugh!
