BEN STEINS LAST COLUMN ENTRY

For many years Ben Stein has written a biweekly column for the online website called "Monday Night At Morton's." (Morton's is a famous chain of Steakhouses known to be frequented by movie stars and famous people from around the globe.) Now, Ben is terminating the column to move on to other things in his life. Reading his final column is worth a few minutes of your time. Ben Stein's Last Column... (read all of this or you will have missed the best). ==================================== "How Can Someone Who Lives in Insane Luxury Be a Star in Today's World"?� ��� As I begin to write this, I "slug" it, as we writers say, which means I put a heading on top of the document to identify it. This heading is "eonlineFINAL," and it gives me a shiver to write it. I have been doing this column for so long that I cannot even recall when I started. I loved writing this column so much for so long I came to believe it would never end. ��� It worked well for a long time, but gradually, my changing as a person and the world's change have overtaken it. On a small scale, Morton's, while better than ever, no longer attracts as many stars as it used to. It still brings in the rich people in droves and definitely some stars. I saw Samuel L. Jackson there a few days ago, and we had a nice visit, and right before that, I saw and had a splendid talk with Warren Beatty in an elevator, in which we agreed that Splendor in the Grass was a super movie. But Morton's is not the star galaxy it once was, though it probably will be again. ��� Beyond that, a bigger change has happened. I no longer think Hollywood stars are terribly important. They are uniformly pleasant, friendly people, and they treat me better than I deserve to be treated. But a man or woman who makes a huge wage for memorizing lines and reciting them in front of a camera is no longer my idea of a shining star we should all look up to. ��� How can a man or woman who makes an eight-figure wage and lives in insane luxury really be a star in today's world, if by a "star" we mean someone bright and powerful and attractive as a role model? Real stars are not riding around in the backs of limousines or in Porsches or getting trained in yoga or Pilates and eating only raw fruit while they have Vietnamese girls do their nails. ��� They can be interesting, nice people, but they are not heroes to me any longer. A real star is the soldier of the 4th Infantry Division who poked his head into a hole on a farm near Tikrit, Iraq. He could have been met by a bomb or a hail of AK-47 bullets. Instead, he faced an abject Saddam Hussein and the gratitude of all of the decent people of the world. ��� A real star is the U.S. soldier who was sent to disarm a bomb next to a road north of Baghdad. He approached it, and the bomb went off and killed him. ��� A real star, the kind who haunts my memory night and day, is the U.S. soldier in Baghdad who saw a little girl playing with a piece of unexploded ordnance on a street near where he was guarding a station. He pushed her aside and threw himself on it just as it exploded. He left a family desolate in California and a little girl alive in Baghdad. ��� The stars who deserve media attention are not the ones who have lavish weddings on TV but the ones who patrol the streets of Mosul even after two of their buddies were murdered and their bodies battered and stripped for the sin of trying to protect Iraqis from terrorists. ��� We put couples with incomes of $100 million a year on the covers of our magazines. The noncoms and officers who barely scrape by on military pay but stand on guard in Afghanistan and Iraq and on ships and in submarines and near the Arctic Circle are anonymous as they live and die. ��� I am no longer comfortable being a part of the system that has such poor values, and I do not want to perpetuate those values by pretending that who is eating at Morton's is a big subject. ��� There are plenty of other stars in the American firmament...the policemen and women who go off on patrol in South Central and have no idea if they will return alive; the orderlies and paramedics who bring in people who have been in terrible accidents and prepare them for surgery; the teachers and nurses who throw their whole spirits into caring for autistic children; the kind men and women who work in hospices and in cancer wards. ��� Think of each and every fireman who was running up the stairs at the World Trade Center as the towers began to collapse. Now you have my idea of a real hero. ��� We are not responsible for the operation of the universe, and what happens to us is not terribly important. God is real, not a fiction; and when we turn over our lives to Him, He takes far better care of us than we could ever do for ourselves. In a word, we make ourselves sane when we fire ourselves as the directors of the movie of our lives and turn the power over to Him. ��� I came to realize that life lived to help others is the only one that matters. This is my highest and best use as a human. I can put it another way. Years ago, I realized I could never be as great an actor as Olivier or as good a comic as Steve Martin...or Martin Mull or Fred Willard--or as good an economist as Samuelson or Friedman or as good a writer as Fitzgerald. Or even remotely close to any of them. ��� But I could be a devoted father to my son, husband to my wife and, above all, a good son to the parents who had done so much for me. This came to be my main task in life. I did it moderately well with my son, pretty well with my wife and well indeed with my parents (with my sister's help). I cared for and paid attention to them in their declining years. I stayed with my father as he got sick, went into extremis and then into a coma and then entered immortality with my sister and me reading him the Psalms. ��� This was the only point at which my life touched the lives of the soldiers in Iraq or the firefighters in New York. I came to realize that life lived to help others is the only one that matters and that it is my duty, in return for the lavish life God has devolved upon me, to help others He has placed in my path. This is my highest and best use as a human. ��� Faith is not believing that God can. It is knowing that God will. ��� By Ben Stein

FREEDOM = BEER & URINE ???!!! PARTY ON!

Man peed way out of avalanche A Slovak man trapped in his car under an avalanche freed himself by drinking 60 bottles of beer and urinating on the snow to melt it. Rescue teams found Richard Kral drunk and staggering along a mountain path four days after his Audi car was buried in the Slovak Tatra mountains. He told them that after the avalanche, he had opened his car window and tried to dig his way out. But as he dug with his hands, he realised the snow would fill his car before he managed to break through. He had 60 half-litre bottles of beer in his car as he was going on holiday, and after cracking one open to think about the problem he realised he could urinate on the snow to melt it, local media reported. He said: "I was scooping the snow from above me and packing it down below the window, and then I peed on it to melt it. It was hard and now my kidneys and liver hurt. But I'm glad the beer I took on holiday turned out to be useful and I managed to get out of there." Parts of Europe have this week been hit by the heaviest snowfalls since 1941, with some places registering more than ten feet of snow in 24 hours. =^.^= Frank Zappa said 'Please dont eat the yellow snow', but he never said we could use it as survival gear!=^.^= YYYYYEEEEAAAAAWWWWHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Ever Wonder Where GOD is DURING A DISASTER? Ever ask WHY??

ASKING WHY? Tsunami crisis revives perennial question: 'Where was God?' BY RICHARD N. OSTLING Associated Press Why? The age-old question was posed in starkest form by the Indian Ocean tsunami. Believers from all faiths united on their duty to help victims but wondered, where was God in this unimaginable suffering? Skeptics perennially argue: If God is all-powerful, he isn't all-loving since he commands or allows devastation, or if he's all-loving, he isn't all-powerful. The Bible insists on both qualities in God while openly acknowledging the agony of mortals pondering calamity, and it provides human history's greatest meditation on this problem, the Book of Job. Skepticism surged in many tsunami commentaries. Even Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams said "this has made me question God's existence." Well, no, it didn't. But London's Sunday Telegraph slapped that erroneous headline on Williams' January article. When the archbishop's people protested, the Telegraph lamely said Williams himself "must accept much of the blame" for its mistake because his thinking was "so hard to follow." Rather, Williams treated the question as difficult and acknowledged there are no snappy solutions. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ rebuked those who thought a man was blind because of his or his parents' sin (John 9:1-3). And after a tsunami-type disaster, Jesus denied that the 18 people who died in the Siloam tower collapse did so because they were more sinful than others (Luke 13:1-5). In the Book of Job, Yeshiva University's Rabbi Benjamin Blech commented, the hero's friends were convinced he must have sinned and deserved God's wrath. But in actuality Job suffered because his holiness was being tested and God condemned the friends. New York Times columnist William Safire said Job shows that "questioning God's inscrutable ways has its exemplar in the Bible and need not undermine faith." The upshot of Job, British evangelical Derek Kidner has written, is that human arguments exhaust themselves, we can never know all the factors involved and God is "not accountable to us." Standard Christian attempts to explain the inexplicable: God did not originate suffering and will eventually vanquish it. God himself suffered for us, in Christ. God works for good amid all suffering. Temporary suffering is inconsequential compared with eternity that will right all wrongs. President R. Albert Mohler of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary cited the Apostle Paul's teaching in Romans 11:33-34: "How unsearchable are (God's) judgments and how inscrutable his ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord?" =^.^= GOD BLESS YOU ALL NOW AND THRU YOUR JOURNEY AND OBSTICALS =^.^=

TSUNAMI RELIEF FUNDS.Have we gone OVERBOARD???

Its been a few weeks of constant imagry,converstaions and begging for the devestated people and land due to Mother Natures Path of violent distruction.Today I hear the deathtoll has risen to over 225,000 dead.Not to mention the complete enialation of the undersea world.Reefs and coral and all other forms of life hae been turned into brown broken twigs on swirlin disturbed sea bottom.The surviving sea life seems to swim in what was once their home ,confused and well,homeless too. My heart BLEEDS for the poor poverty striken families whose family was nearly if not totaly DESTROYED.The land and homes can be rebuilt, but the mind F*ck they got will NEVER disapate!! Having had the chance to filter all this over the few weeks I have come to some pretty harsh,maybe INSENSITIVE thoughts on the situation.Having just poured my heart out over the tragic missing,sealife,nature,animals and the poverty striken and dead this might shock you. I AM TSUNAMI RELIEF FUND OVERDOSED!!!!! No am am not a cold hearted bitch (hey!) I am just thinking of all the Marriots and other lavish resorts(many of us would never afford) their on those beaches.The Wealthy business people making tons of money do to textiles, sex industry,resort villages,you know.Well, dont they have INSURANCE???? What about the investers??? Why is it that we The Greatest Country in this whole stinking world has to put aside our own hurricanes,floods,mudslides,avalances,social in-security and the likes?Why does our generous President give up $350,000,000 MILLION bucks and all the while Pappa Bush and Big Billy are pumping us little chumps for a five or ten to top it off?How the hell much do we NEED to give?? Like I said what about the resorts insurance?Whatabout all the rich land owners/investors with their fat wallets from all the years of profit of a shack on a beautiful beach?(and remember I am born and raised on South Floridas beaches where we had yearly danger, so I am not so outta the loop).I just have the feeling some third world countries evil doers will be skimmin' from the top,bottom sideways and all.And once again, the real people,kids and families who are poor and in need will fall thru the cracks.AGAIN! Oh, I aint done ranting yet Baby, just starting the good stuff! ;-)> Lets get into the All Star Celeb TV fundraiser.I almost needed a puke bucket! Does George Clooney answering the phone make ya wanna dump your bank account in his lap?Brad Pitt or Does Sarah Jessica Parker (or SJP to the Hollyweird crowd) does she make you feel so bad and blessed that you should give till it hurts?OK, I know they think diff than us and their reality ist ours.I do think that in thier heart of hearts the were doing something possitive, shaking down the guilt ridden troubled American public for hard earned bucks(even though our tax dollars have been promised,and I dont remember being asked about that one either!).What the HELL does Bill O'Rielly get off,after demonizing the left coast freaks and all that implies,snuggeling up with the Hollywood movers and shakers?Oh, remember he started as a crappy entertainment reporter!!! Still trying to get back in the pack, huh Bill? YUCK! Maybe his kinky phone sex makes him the new Hollyweird 'IT BOY'!(I dont know what 'it' woud be!).So I am watching all these HIGHLY PAID,OVERPAID actors and singers preaching to us to give,give,give.I realize many gave bucks.Not all like Sandra Bulluck pulled a Million out, but I am sure that many broke off a small chunk to make themselves feel better while doing laps in their indoor olympic sized pools ;-)> !!! Just what some of these celebs have paid for out of pocket for sex, drugs,murder and other freaky scandals,(some quietly handeled,and some got the loud big bang O'Rielly bust!) All that sin soaked bucks clearly over rides the amount given to Tsunami victims.Hell Michael Jackson and the Catholic Church payouts alone would rebuild not only OUR POVERTY STRIKEN counties but other third world countries.I am sick and outraged.Who sticks up for our troops that are dead and families,wives,kids,folks and partners?Who will stand up with a telethon for Social InSecurity for us youngin's?? Who but Ollie North and Sean Hannity started a fund for fallen soldiers kids to go to college?(love ya Sean and Ollie!) Who will start a telethon for our maimed,broken and injured for life brave soldiers,for the rest of their lives?Who will start a fund for the many Americans who cant afford meds or decent treatment for cancer,hep,aides and such? Who wil start a fund for poverty striken rural woman and children? Doesnt ANYBODY give a rip about OUR OWN FALLEN? Do any of these countries we run to their aide EVER stepup with condolences and some money? Tell me, cause I dont see it. Do you know that our 350 Million would do for our impoverish,elderly,sick,mental, veterans,and just update our own systems? I LOVE OUR COUNTRY and its big heart of gold.But enuff is enuff.We are broke, broken and unless the government just starts printing money and give out like government chese, we will be a third world country after proppin up and saving and rebuilding every other place more needy than us! Hell, that 99.9% of the world! We are the BIG DOGS. I say, save some scraps for us! So in closing(finaly,that chicks got alot to say, you're thinking aintcha!?) The world would have benn better served by the rich talented good looking entertainers who razz-mattazed the money out of us,if THEY would have collectively pitched in justa chip of their 20 Milion dollar paychecks and platinum record sales bucks and over the top althelic saleries (Kobes cheatin diamond would have rebuilt Shri Lanka alone!!).That would make me proud,not wanna grab the puke bucket! OOOOhhh,OOhhhh, I ALMOST FORGOT one last point of pissiness! How can Indonesia tell our helpers to get out of their country after they deliver much needed $$$, meds and assistance?? What a smack in the face.I can go on and on about that disrespect,and the worlds hatred of us,but ney! My heart goes out to those poor diplaced and dead people and animals for sure, but my money(what little I have will go to our American troops,thier families and the police and firemans funds.I hate to be a hard ass kids(its tight anyways!),but Here is ANOTHER WAKE UP CALL.Dont hit the snooze button.DEMAND these undercover do-gooders and their sappy telethons give more than ther PRECIOUS OVERPAID TIME! Lip service aint paying the bills,but look at the weekly box office totals and just imagine what possitive impact that kind of maoney would do for our people.(A a movie lover and reviewer I am not saying boycott, just think kids).And when you want to give money to a great cause think of the vets, their families,the troops and their families, our dead and sick.God Bless Us all, and may Mother Natures Wrath never cross your path.Love and Kisses as always.Be safe! =^.^=

CBS Has a Black Eye...Shame on YOU!

Like I said before, we now finaly get what the BS in CBS stands for.BULLSH*T!

Little folks, mostly WOMEN got the boot from the station, yet good ole boy Dan stays! Yes kids, whata great country! You can throw all kinds of crap out there and remain a beloved,trusted newsman.Well, maybe the trust issue is tarnished, but I doubt we will see Dan on the weather channel any time soon. So, even a little blog/cyber rat like me has to check and check and re-check my smackdown of our pop culture. I would LOVE to see The President PERSONALY confront or respond diretly to Mr. RatherNotCheckMySourses.I got a feeling W would beat Dan 'like a rented mule'!YYYYEEEEAAAAAWWWWHHHHHH!!!! ~~~~~~ TOP 10 PROPOSED CHANGES 4 CBS : Top Ten Proposed Changes At CBS News 10. Stories must be corroborated by at least two really strong hunches. 9. "Evening News" pre-show staff cocktail hour is cancelled until further notice. 8. Reduce "60 Minutes" to more manageable 15-20 minutes. 7. Change division name from "CBS News" to "CBS News-ish" 6. If anchor says anything inaccurate, earpiece delivers an electric shock. 5. Conclude each story with comical "Boing" sound effect. 4. Instead of boring Middle East reports, more powerball drawings. 3. To play it safe, every "exclusive" story will be about how tasty pecan pie is. 2. Not sure how, but make CBS News more like "C.S.I." 1. Use beer, cash and hookers to lure Tom Brokaw out of retirement. =^.^=

FACTS THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON!

This is for all the blowhard girlie men who complain about this country =^.^= ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you walk up the steps to the building which houses the U.S. Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of ! the world's law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view� ... it is Moses and he is holding the Ten Commandments! . DID YOU KNOW? As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door. DID YOU KNOW? As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall, right above where the Supreme Court judges sit, �a display of the Ten Commandments! DID YOU KNOW? There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington, D.C. DID YOU KNOW? James Madison, the fourth president, known as "The Father of Our Constitution" made the following statement: "We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God." DID YOU KNOW? Patrick Henry, that patriot and Founding Father of our country said: "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religions but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ". ! DID YOU KNOW? Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777. DID YOU KNOW? Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies. DID YOU KNOW? Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law - an oligarchy ... the rule of few over many. DID YOU KNOW? The very first Supreme Court Justice, John Jay, said: "Americans should select and prefer Christians as their rulers." How, then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 220 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional? . Please forward this to everyone you can. Lets put it around the world and let the world see and remember what this great country was built on. Thank you!! ! Chamber, US House of Representatives � �~~~ GOD BLESS AMERICA! GOD BLESS US ALL! GOD BLESS AND KEEP HIS HAND ON SOLDIERS AND THOSE SERVING OVERSEAS AND THEIR FAMILIES! LOVE AND KISSES! ~~~ =^.^=

The WAR IN IRAQ:Fewer SOLDIERS DIE, but MORE SEVERELY WOUNDED!

The Hidden Side Of Casualties In Iraq: Fewer Soldiers Dying, But More Severely Wounded Email to a FriendPrinter Friendly Version � By MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Medical Writer (AP) - For every American soldier killed in Iraq, nine others have been wounded and survived -- the highest rate of any war in U.S. history. It isn't that their injuries were less serious, a new report says. In fact, some young soldiers and Marines have had faces, arms and legs blown off and are now returning home badly maimed. But they have survived thanks, in part, to armor-like vests and fast treatment from doctors on the move with surgical kits in backpacks. "This is unprecedented. People who lose not just one but two or three extremities are people who just have not survived in the past," said Dr. Atul Gawande, a surgeon at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston who researched military medicine and wrote about it in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine. The journal also published a five-page spread of 21 military photographs that graphically depict the horrific injuries and conditions under which these modern-day MASH surgeons operate. "We thought a lot about it," said the journal's editor, Dr. Jeffrey Drazen, and ultimately decided the pictures told an important story. "This war is producing unique injuries -- less lethal but more traumatic," he said. In one traumatic case, Gawande tells of an airman who lost both legs, his right hand and part of his face. "How he and others like him will be able to live and function remains an open question," Gawande writes. Kevlar helmets and vests are one reason for the high survival rate. "The critical core, your chest and your abdomen, are protected," said Dr. George Peoples, a Walter Reed Army Medical Center surgeon who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. "Parodixically, what we've seen is devastating extremity injuries because people are surviving wounds they otherwise wouldn't have." By mid-November, 10,369 American troops had been wounded in battle in Afghanistan or Iraq, and 1,004 had died -- a survival rate of roughly 90 percent. In the Vietnam War, one in four wounded died, virtually all of them before they could reach MASH units some distance from the fighting. Today in Iraq, real-life Hawkeyes and B.J. Hunnicuts have stripped trauma surgery to its most basic level, carrying "mini-hospitals" in six Humvees and field operating kits in five backpacks so they can move with troops and do surgery on the spot. "Within an hour, we drop the tents and set up the OR tables, and we can pretty much start operating immediately," said Peoples, whose photographs are in the medical journal. He's now at Walter Reed in Washington which has treated 150 amputees from the Iraq war. American military hospitals collectively have had 200 amputees from Iraq and Afghanistan, three of them triple amputees. The record survival rates in Iraq have been achieved with an astonishingly small number of general surgeons. The entire Army has only about 120 on active duty and a similar number in the reserves. Of these, only 30 to 50 are in Iraq, plus 10 to 15 orthopedic surgeons, to care for 130,000 to 150,000 troops, Gawande reports. That's fewer than the 80 general and orthopedic surgeons on staff at two Boston hospitals -- Brigham and Massachusetts General. "It's a very tight supply," Gawande said of the surgeons in Iraq. "They're now also burdened with civilian Iraqis seeking their help because the U.S. has taken over many Iraqi hospitals." Virginia Stephanakis, a spokeswoman for the Army Surgeon General's Office, said Gawande had done excellent research and that his figures on casualties jibe with those on Department of Defense Web sites, though she wouldn't confirm the number of surgeons in Iraq. Gawande and others also credit nurses, anesthetists, helicopter pilots, other transport staff and an entire rethinking of the combat medicine system for soldiers' survival. The strategy is damage control, not definitive repair. Field doctors limit surgery to two hours or less, often leaving temporary closures and even plastic bags over wounds, and send soldiers to one of several combat support hospitals in Iraq with services like labs and X-rays. "We basically work to save life over limb," said Navy Capt. Kenneth Kelleher, chief of the surgical company at the chief U.S. Marine base near Fallujah. "No frills, nothing complicated. If the injury is not going to be salvageable, we do a rapid amputation, and there have been a fair number of those." If soldiers are shipped to a combat support hospital, the maximum stay is three days. If more advanced care is needed, they're sent to hospitals in Landstuhl, Germany, or Kuwait or Spain. If care will be needed for a month or more, they're whisked directly to Walter Reed or Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio. "The average time from battlefield to arrival in the United States is now less than four days. In Vietnam, it was 45 days," Gawande writes. John Greenwood, a historian with the Army Surgeon General's office, said the new strategy has made a big difference in survival. "Historically, the key change has been the ability to move the wounded man to definitive surgical care," he said. Field surgeons moving with troops is the first step. Peoples traveled 1,100 miles throughout southern Iraq and into Baghdad, doing only what was absolutely necessary to save a life and shipping patients out. He said he tried to ignore personal danger, like the time his medical team was sent to an evacuated air base in southern Iraq. "At least, we thought it was evacuated," he said. In fact, Iraqi soldiers were still being routed out. The medical team was told to pick any of the bombed-out buildings to use as a makeshift hospital. After finishing one surgery, he walked outside and noticed big red X's on all the other buildings warning against entry. By sheer luck, he said, "we had chosen the only one that hadn't been booby-trapped." As for the soldiers he took pictures of, he had this to say: "Every person depicted in those photos survived." ~~~~~~~ GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!

STEM CELLS make PARALYZED RATS WALK!

Posted on Fri, Dec. 17, 2004 Stem cell researcher makes paralyzed rats walk PAUL ELIAS Associated Press IRVINE, Calif. - So far, not a single person has been helped by human embryonic stem cells. But in cramped university labs, a young neurobiologist with movie star good looks, a Carl Sagan-like fondness for the popular media and an entrepeneur's nose for profits is getting tantalizingly close. Hans Keirstead is making paralyzed rats walk again by injecting them with healthy brain cells sussed from a reddish soup of human embryonic stem cells he and his colleagues have created. Keirstead hopes to apply his therapy to humans by 2006. If his ambitious timetable keeps to schedule, Keirstead's work will be the first human embryonic stem cell treatment given to humans. "I have been shocked, thrilled and humbled at the progress that I have made," Keirstead, 37, said in an interview in his University of California-Irvine office, which is dominated by a 4- by 8-foot collage of famous rock stars created by his artist brother. "I just want to see one person who is bettered by something that I created." Keirstead has been turning stem cells into specialized cells that help the brain's signals traverse the spinal cord. Those new cells have repaired damaged rat spines several weeks after they were injured. For the last two years, he has shown dramatic video footage of healed rats walking to scientific gatherings and during campaign events to promote California's $3 billion bond measure to fund stem cell work, which passed in November. Keirstead and his colleagues are continuing to experiment with rats to ensure the injected cells do what they're supposed to without any side effects. "You don't want toenails growing in the brain," he said. Meanwhile, Keirstead and his corporate sponsor - Menlo Park-based Geron Corp. - are designing the initial human experiments, which will test for safety and involve just a handful of volunteers. The volunteers likely will be patients who have been recently injured. Keirstead's work was at first met by derision and disbelief at the Society of Neuroscience's annual meeting in 2002. "We upset a lot of people," said Dr. Gabriel Nistor, who was the first researcher to join Keirstead's lab five years ago. "No one believed us at first." Keirstead and Nistor were stars at the same gathering in October, and their research will be published next month in a scientific journal. Kierstead is as close as anyone in the stem cell research world could be to celebrity, and that can be dangerous in a profession noted as much for its petty jealousies of individual fame as it is for scientific breakthroughs. (Sagan, the noted astronomer who for years hosted the PBS series "Cosmos," was denied membership in the prestigious National Academy of Sciences, a slight that his supporters insist was based on his mass appeal). Reporters have beaten a well-worn path to Keirstead's lab. The fact that he's wealthy only adds to his growing luster. Keirstead recently sold a biotech company he co-founded, unrelated to his stem cell work, in a deal that could be worth as much as $8 million. "We all love Hans - for various reasons," giggled Karen Miner, whose advocacy organization helps fund Keirstead's work. Miner and her colleagues at Research for Cure, based in Escalon in California's Central Valley, have contributed $170,000 over the last four years to the Reeve-Irvine Research Center where Keirstead works. The center is named for its founding donor, actor Christopher Reeve, who died in October of complications related to his paralysis. "We all feel he is on the cutting edge of spinal cord research," said Miner, 53, who was paralyzed below the neck after an automobile accident 12 years ago. "I have to think it's the most promising thing out there." She toured Keirstead's labs two years ago and watched once-paralyzed rats walk inside their cages. "The adrenaline that I felt was almost enough to get me out of the chair," Miner said. "When you are sitting in a wheelchair and see those rats running around, all you can think is, 'I want some of those now.'" Human embryonic stem cells are created in the first days after conception and are the building blocks of the human body. Scientists believe they will someday be able to coax stem cells to turn into healthy cells to treat a wide range of ailments, including diabetes, heart disease and spinal cord injuries. Many social conservatives who believe life begins at conception view the work as immoral because days-old embryos are destroyed during research. Critics complain privately that Keirstead is beholden to Menlo Park-based Geron, which claims a Microsoft-like grip on any commercial stem cell market that emerges. Geron funded the work of University of Wisconsin researcher Jamie Thomson, who discovered human embryonic stem cells in 1998, and the company funds Keirstead's lab at $500,000 a year. Geron owns the commercial rights to any drug Keirstead may develop. Keirstead doesn't apologize for his funding source, which he said is more generous than he could have expected from the federal government and with fewer research restrictions. He said he's not interested in profits, but rather in speeding the development of new spinal cord treatments. And he has an answer for those who say he's moving too fast and that his experiments with rats are dangling false hope before the 15,000 people paralyzed in the United States each year. "This is extremely promising," Keirstead said. "Why the hell would we wait?"

INMATES 2 get call in radio show 4 HOLIDAY CHEER???!!!??

First off, I think the only radio inamtes should get pumped in 24/7 is the O'Franken Factor! That may be unjust and inhumane, but what the frick? They are in jail!Punish the Bums! LOL! Heres a doozey for ya kidz!~ Inmates to get holiday cheer from radio 12/18/2004, 9:16 a.m. PT By ROGER ALFORD The Associated Press� WHITESBURG, Ky. (AP) � Inmates across the nation can receive some holiday cheer from faraway relatives through a radio call-in show that will be aired nationwide this year. �Advertisement � WMMT-FM in Whitesburg, which is popular among big-city inmates being held in isolated prisons in central Appalachia, will host a call-in show Monday so that people can offer Christmas wishes to inmates from Red Onion in Virginia to Folsom in California. Prisoners also are invited to call in for the program, which is slated to run from 7 p.m to 10 p.m. EST. The project is a public service to inmates who are being held in prisons hours from home and who might not otherwise receive a visit from relatives, said Nick Szuberla, a WMMT on-air personality who helped produce the call-in show. "The benefit to us is not monetary," Szuberla said. "This is not a commercially profitable venture. Part of the mission of the radio station is to give a voice to people who may not have a way to get their message heard." More than 40 radio stations across the nation have enlisted to simulcast the call-in program, catering to inmates in prisons like Sing Sing in New York and Big Sandy in Kentucky. It will be the show's national debut. Lorenzo McClean, an inmate at Wallens Ridge State Prison in Big Stone Gap, Va., said inmates appreciate the radio station's initiative. "Thank you for looking at us as human beings," McClean said in an e-mail to the station. WMMT's programming includes jazz, rhythm and blues, hip-hop, rap and other forms of urban music that appeals to prisoners who haven't developed a taste for the Nashville sound offered on most stations here. The signal from WMMT, a 15,000-watt station, reaches six major prisons, including two super-maximum security institutions, and numerous jails in southeastern Kentucky and portions of Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. The simulcasts, via Pacifica Radio Network, will send the call-in program to prisons from coast to coast. Amelia Kirby, co-founder of the project, said the show is always heartwarming, especially when she's able to connect inmates and family members who haven't seen each other in years. "One family that we have gotten to know drives from 9 at night until 8 in the morning to visit their loved one who is held in a rural prison in southwest Virginia," Kirby said. "They live in Washington D.C., and let me tell you these coalfields are a long way from there." •__ On the Net: www.appalshop.org/h2h/calls.htm =^.^=

PIMP MY TANK or DUDE WHERE'S MY ARMOUR PLATED TANK???

Ok, most of us have seen the press on yesterdays Army vs. Rummy question/answer session.I have bee reporting since the war started that our troops were not readly prepared for such a long hard battle.I started with the fact that most dont even have toilet paper out there.there is so much troops are asking family for that goverment cant or wont supply.Then yesterday,our brave troops sucked back fear,frustration and angst to question why are they not adequetly protected???? My mind quickly spinned to Puff Daddys bullet proof Hummer.Trumps bullet proof limo,helicopter and hair.Any rapper worth their grain of salt owns a bullet proof Hummer or Escalade or Bentley.How is it that our celeb elite gets better protection than the brave kids fighting tooth and nail for not only our freedom and rights, but the worlds?? Why cant our government and the worlds automakers pump out these life saving vehicals for the troops? Why on every other channel is there an auto extreme makeover dumping tens of thousands of dollars into a 1972 Pinto?Or how about the Tuttels who build custom bikes,they can make some hot metal POP!(props to the American Chopper peeps!) Why doesn't MTV's Pimp My Ride do an Army Battalions tank convoy? It would be great promotion for station and a great humanitarian deed.I hope I am not the only person with this idea.I hope some movers and shakers and money makers are already on this situation and scetching the blue prints for a tricked out tank!.Most of the troops out there are MTV generation and probably would love the concept of MTV 'pimpin' their tanks.Nothing tacky like fuzzy dice or ground effects neon night lights.How about just some life saving armour plating,folks?If the lawmakers limos are bullet proofed, damn it,the troops must be as well.Many of you are saying,'Why doesnt the government handle this?'After all the money spent to rebuild that sand box over there and teach and help,you would expect our team to have the most state of the art vehicals to fight with or at least compete with the up and coming rapper.Does it offend you Trump is more protected than our brave troops?Do the leaders,lawmakers and higher-ups think this is exceptable? I dont and I appologize to the troops and their families...I am proud that our troops were able to bring this to light in front of the worlds eyes and ears.But sick that it had to come to the 'worlds eyes and ears' instead of it being taken care of quietly.Maybe that will shame the gov into making this right, I dont know.I hope all of you pray for the troops,that they may be protected.Its not just a life or death thing.Do you realize how many of them or maimed or horribly disfigured for life? Why isnt the media doing MAJOR focus on the injured and maimed soldiers? I am sure its a money deal,right.So does that mean Rumsfelds vehical there wasnt bullet proof? I think NOT.

I am a BLACK SHEEP in my CATHOLIC RELIGION

I was born and raised Roman Catholic by my Italian family whose faith was never rocked.As I grew older my faith in God and his teachings were my foundation which kept me strong thru all the ups and downs.My grandmother and uncle,who raised me were elderly,so many Sundys we watched Sunday Mass for shut ins on TV.I actualy used to make a 'pulpit' and pretend to be the priest and word for word recant the mass.Even thru our love of God my grandmother always made sure that I knew the preists were 'men who spoke the word of God'and 'Not God'.I continued to go to church weekly for decades.That was up to 2 1/2 years ago.I made a desision,due to the sex scandals,secrets,sins,bancruptcies,sex payouts and you know all the rest of the ugly stuff.Even though I loved my Priest Nowlan, I could no longer sit there every week wondering about him, ondering where all of our basket donations were going to.Could all these good hearted peoples hard earned money be going to payoffs?I never saw that in church bulletin "Sex Scandal Payffs'.The whole country has churches going banckrupt,moraly and financialy! I pray everyday, love MyGod,Lord and Mother Mary and all the Saints and the Pope.But I keep my faith and relationship w/ God personal,not by going to church.I feel bad, but cant keep going knowing all the secrets and sins which they covered.A strange fact is..The New President of Bishops is Spokanes own Father Skilsted, who is up to his collar in sex scandal info and dealings.The inside word is he was propped up so he doesnt have to testify about all he knew about many,many sex acts by priests.They just moved the priests to different states,never telling church goers,police,etc.These are PEDIFILES.The police should have the ability to arrest,question and sentence them as they would any other citizen.But NO, the church is under control of another country,it may be thee smallest country,but the Vatican makes ALL the RULES.I am frustrasted,ashamed and confused as to HOW a MAN OF GOD could molest a child knowing what a horrific sin it is! I pray we get on this story now B4 more victims commit suicide and all our churches are bancrupt.I still hold firm my faith and love of God,but I have to get the news out.Please read the following story that sheds light on this sick situation. =^.^= ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "RELUCTANT MUCKRACKER' PROBES CATHOLIC CHURCH Author Probes Dark Side of Catholic Church CAIN BURDEAU Associated Press NEW ORLEANS - The stories, and faces, of molested altar boys and abused seminarians seem to dart and flicker like lightning bugs on a summer's night on the broad face of Jason Berry - the reluctant muckraker who took on the Vatican and his own faith. It all started 20 years ago when Berry, a freelance journalist, became one of the first writers to yank the cloak off one of the Roman Catholic Church's darkest secrets: That there were pedophiles in the ranks of priests. But despite the awards, TV appearances, talks at universities, praise and accolades heaped on his work, Berry is a victim of his success, of his journalistic scoops. "I would have been just as happy never to have written a word about the Catholic church," he said in a recent interview at his New Orleans home, a tidy place filled with African and New Orleans art work and books. "And I think in some ways I might have been - I don't want to say happier, but maybe an easier person," he added, thoughtfully. He calls himself "a reluctant muckraker." Investigative journalism was not his first choice. "I am much more interested in the life of the mind," he said. And culture is his passion. He's written extensively on jazz and jazz funerals, the blues, Louisiana writers, the civil rights movement, Mardi Gras Indians and on New Orleans' spiritual life. He writes book reviews and essays on a regular basis. Also to his name is a drama, "Earl Long in Purgatory," about the maverick and erratic former Louisiana governor. And if that were not enough, Berry is turning his attention to making documentaries. But Berry cannot escape the faces of abused altar boys and seminarians, and the minds of sexual predators. It began 20 years ago, when he was 35, a time before the doubt and stories of abuse, a time when Berry was an unquestioning Catholic. An unusual story bubbled up in the backwaters of Cajun country. A village pastor, Father Gilbert Gauthe, was accused of molesting a string of boys at his rectory and on overnight trips to the quiet Louisiana marsh. Berry got on the phone and thought he had a killer story. But his proposals got turned down by such news outlets as The New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post, The Nation, Mother Jones and even the local newspaper, The Daily Advertiser of Lafayette. Finally, he turned to the editor at The Times of Acadiana, a small Lafayette weekly, who ran his stories. "Once I stumbled on this material in the '80s, in the beginning I was, I suppose, morbidly curious, but as I began to see the outlines of a truly vast cover-up, I kept wanting to understand it, I wanted to understand why it happened," Berry said. The same impulse for truth led Berry, as a boy, to ask his father about the shoe box full of photographs of cadavers he'd stumbled across stored away at his home. His father told him about Dachau and the extermination of Jews in World War II. He told his son about his war experiences as one of the first Americans to step into that concentration camp. And Berry's desire to understand Gauthe took him deep into a maze of lies and secrets. "I've had priests and nuns who've called me for years; survivors, attorneys, other journalists," he said. "Maybe that's why I listen to so much music, to not think about the secrets." After first hearing about Gauthe, Berry spent eight years studying pedophilia, church and court documents and conducting countless interviews. Finally, in 1992, he finished his work about the "Catholic Church's sexual Watergate." The book, "Lead Us Not Into Temptation: Catholic Priests and the Sexual Abuse of Children," broke new ground, estimating that between 1984 and 1992 about 400 priests in North America were accused of molesting children. Today, studies estimate that since 1950 about 4 percent of American clerics - 4,392 of them - have been accused of abuse. And only 2 percent of abusers went to prison, according to a recent church report. "'Lead Us Not Into Temptation' was the first hole in the dike, so to speak," said David Clohessy, who runs the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. "It showed that the problem was wide and deeper than a few bad apple priests. For those who read it, it was a myth-shattering, sobering revelation." Berry did not approach his subject matter as a detached reporter. As a Catholic himself, the story had personal meaning. "He would get very passionate about it. We had a lot of discussions about it," recalled Anthony Fontana, a lawyer who represented many of the children abused by Gauthe, who in 1985, pleaded guilty to molestation charges involving 11 boys. (In 1998, the Diocese of Lafayette disclosed that it paid at least $18 million to families of children molested by Gauthe.) "Jason was really important for all of us involved in these cases in the early stages. He had the same anger we had. He was able to communicate that to the public, and we got a much faster educational process. The public finally understood that these children were not telling lies, but that something very, very wrong was happening here." "For nearly a year I had journeyed through the dark channels of an institution whose decay became more appalling as I plunged deeper into the story," Berry wrote in his book. "What did it mean to be a loving critic of the church?" In an essay entitled "Morals of a Muckraker," Berry unearthed a "shadow-church that most Catholics rarely encounter, an ecclesiastical culture honeycombed with sexual secrecy, dripping lies and more lies." Because of his discovery, his "faith went into a free-fall" and he turned to French novelist, agnostic and political philosopher Albert Camus' notions of "resisting evil, in search for an ethos of personal responsibility," he wrote in that essay. At 55 and four books later, Berry has become one of the strongest voices advocating change in the church. This year, Berry and Gerald Renner, a former reporter with The Hartford Courant, published a book that goes after Pope John Paul II. They accuse the pope of ignoring the alleged sexual abuse of seminarians by Father Marcial Maciel, the founder of the Legionaries of Christ, a growing ultra-traditional religious order. The charges have been denied. Maciel, whose two uncles were Mexican bishops, has long been in the "good graces" of the pope despite a series of allegations of systematically raping seminarians and abusing drugs, the authors claim in "Vows of Silence: The Abuse of Power in the Papacy of John Paul II." The book is based on victims' stories. The book takes aim at the pope and church leaders for shuffling abusive priests from one diocese to another, for stonewalling and paying settlements to keep victims hushed. "I just keep thinking about the facade of dignity that bishops convey and what is behind that facade are these contorted rationalizations about lying to cover up sexual behavior," he said. "The problem in the church is structural mendacity, institutionalized lying. "I mean, you preach the sanctity of life in the womb and play musical chairs with men who molest children - that is a staggering double standard." Berry and other critics contend that the church's crisis, in part, stems from its unwillingness to let priests marry and women enter the priesthood. He also traces an increase in homosexuals within the clergy and its ramifications. Willam Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, one of Berry's most frequent critics, acknowledges Berry as a pioneer in his reportage, but takes issue with his conclusions and picture of the church as a dark, conspiratorial institution. "He constantly talks about the pedophilia problem in the Catholic church, but the problem is a homosexual problem," Donohue said. "It's a homosexual problem that Jason doesn't want to talk about because it would make him appear anti-homosexual." "There is a part of me that grieves for what I've learned, for the suffering," he said. "This is not a pleasant time to be a member of the church, and I think that's one reason why I insist on remaining one."

WORCESTER, Massachusetts (AP) -- A man was charged with stabbing two relatives after they allegedly criticized his table manners during Thanksgiving dinner. Police said the fight broke out Thursday when Gonzalo Ocasio, 49, and his 18-year-old son, Gonzalo Jr., reprimanded Frank Palacious for picking at the turkey with his fingers, instead of slicing off pieces with a knife. Palacious, 24, described by police only as an uncle, allegedly responded by stabbing them with a carving knife. He is charged with domestic assault and assault with intent to murder, Detective Sgt. Thomas R. Radula said. Police said Ocasio Jr. suffered stab wounds to the chest, back and right side. A nursing supervisor at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center said Friday she had no information on his condition. His father was treated for a stab wound in his arm. =^.^=

BLUE STATE BLUES Got ya DOWN,Baby?? Get OVER IT or GET OUT!!?

All you who are bluer than blue this past week since election, I have found alternative living arrangements for ya'll! Life is short, dont be all pissy and bitter.So check this out.Please pass along to Baldwin,Moore,Kerry and any other whiny anti-Americans =^.^= ~~~~Reasons cited 4 Making the Move to Canada,as cited by www.canadianalternative.com ! 1.Canada has UNIVERSAL public heath care 2.Canada has NO TROOPS in IRAQ 3.Canada signed the Kyoto Protocol environmental treaty 4.More than 1/2 of Canadas provinces allow same-sex marriages 5.The Canadian Senate RECOMMENDS legalization of marijuana(YIPPEE!) 6.Canada NO LAW restricts abortion 7. Canadas strict GUN LAWS & relatively little violence 8.The U.N. has ranked Canada the BEST COUNTRY to live in for 8 consecutive years (WHAT?LOL!) 9.Canada ABOLISHED DEATH PENALTY in 1976 (Note to Scott Peterson!) 10. Canada HAS NOT run a Federal deficit since 1996-1997 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Canada offering refuge for Yanks with blue-state blues By GENE JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER SEATTLE -- Got the blue-state blues? Rudi Kischer feels your pain. The Vancouver, British Columbia, immigration lawyer plans seminars in three U.S. cities - Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles - to tell Americans frustrated with President Bush's re-election that the grass is greener north of the border. And that's not just an allusion to Canada's lenient marijuana laws. "We started last year getting a lot of calls from Americans dissatisfied with the way the country is going," Kischer says. "Then after the election, it's been crazy up here. The Canadian immigration Web site had 115,000 hits the day after the election - from the U.S. alone. We usually only get 20,000 hits." There was so much interest that a Vancouver-based Internet company, Communicopia, set up a new Web site this month - www.canadianalternative.com - to suggest Canada as a viable option for its American clients, including anyone concerned about constitutional bans on gay marriage passed in 11 states this month. "We invite you to get to know Canada," the site says. "Explore the richness and diversity of our regions. And find out why Canada is the perfect alternative for conscientious, forward-thinking Americans." Another Web site urges Canadians: "Open your heart, and your home. Marry an American. Legions of Canadians have already pledged to sacrifice their singlehood to save our southern neighbours from four more years of cowboy conservatism." Canada suddenly has utopian appeal for many left-leaning Americans. Its universal health care, gay rights, abortion rights, gun laws, drug laws, opposition to the Iraq war, ban on capital punishment and ethnic diversity mirror many values of the American left. Immigrants, including an estimated 1 million Americans, make up nearly 20 percent of Canada's population. The United Nations named Toronto the world's most multicultural city. And, as Michael Moore pointed out in "Bowling for Columbine" - required viewing for many lefties - in Canada there's apparently no reason to lock your door. Combine that with hockey, terrific needle exchange programs and moose - hey, what's not to love? Well, all the extra U's (colour, neighbour ...), for one thing. It's cold. The baseball's not very good - so long, Expos. And the taxes are higher, eh? But, as one American who has his bags nearly packed likes to say, at least the taxes go toward good causes. "I just like their way of life a lot better, and with everything the Bush administration has done - for the American people to give him their seal of approval, it's basically the last straw," says Ralph Appoldt, a resident of Portland, in the barely blue state of Oregon. "Canada's basic population is much more intelligent, polite and civilized. I like their way of government a lot better. Their tax dollars go to helping those who need it, instead of funneling money back up to the wealthy and feeding this huge military-industrial machine." Appoldt, 50, a sales manager, and his wife, a nurse, figure that selling their house and getting their immigration approved could take more than a year. But they're moving, they insist. They've already hired Kischer to help them. Though he may see a good business opportunity following the election, Kischer has no illusions of a mass American exodus to Canada. Yanks have to follow the same procedures as everybody else - including the $500 application fee, the $975 landing tax, and the wait of six months to two years. He only expects about 100 people at each of the how-to-move-to-Canada seminars, all scheduled in blue states - Dec. 4 in Seattle, Dec. 5 in Los Angeles and Dec. 6 in San Francisco. Nancy Bray, a spokeswoman for Citizenship and Immigration Canada, said her agency's Web site received 261,000 hits from the United States in the two days following the election, but it'll be many months before officials can guess how many of them were serious. "Our interest, our goal, is to attract the best possible immigrants," Bray says. "If there's a lot of publicity about our country, that's to our benefit. But we're not interested in people's political leanings or political dissatisfaction." Jason Mogus, Communicopia's chief executive, said that while his company wanted to help interested Americans, moving to Canada should be plan B. "We strongly encourage Americans to stay and build a culture in line with their values," Mogus said. "In other words, stay and fight." ~~Heres a few other websites to help you get your ass outta this great country if you cant deal! www.embarkationlaw.com/ Citizens & Immigration Canada: www.cic.gc.ca/english/ Marry an American: www.marryanamerican.ca/ ~~~~~ AMERICA...LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT,BABY!

GOD BLESS OUR VETERANS! My TRIBUTE

~~First let me thank,honor and send massive amounts oflove to all vets,past,present and future for all their work,dedication,passion and love of our country and freedom.God Bless their families and friends who have to sacifice them for the better of our world.Thank you isnt enuff words to express my gratitude for what they,and my dad,have done for us.May God always be on your shoulders.Please kiss a VET,go visit a nursing home and spend a while with a few, call an elderly relative and thank them,if at all possible for you in Washington area to go to Walter Reed Hospital to show the love to our hurt,maimed and disabled fighters.Stop by a vet cemetary and show your respect.There are alot of local Vet hospitals that the men woud LOVE a visit,card,your time!There are so many creative ways to show repect and thanks. Send a cyber thanks to troops thru www.OperationDearAbby.net Get out there kids and show these heros 'The Love!' =^.^= ~ ~VETERENS DAY,FREEDOM isnt FREE Eleven thousand soldierslay beneath the dirt and stone, all buried on a distant land so far away from home. For just a strip of dismal beach they paid a hero's price, to save a foreign nation they all made the sacrifice. And now the shores of Normandy are lined with blocks of white: Americans who didn't turn from someone else's plight. Eleven thousand reasons for the French to take our side, but in the moment of our need, they chose to run and hide. Chirac said every war means loss, perhaps for France that's true, for they've lost every battle since the days of Waterloo. Without a soldier worth a damn to be found within the region, the French became the only land to need a Foreign Legion. You French all say we're arrogant. Well hell, we've earned the right-- We saved your sorry nation when you lacked the guts to fight. But now you've made a big mistake, and one that you'll regret; you took sides with our enemies,and that we won't forget. It wasn't just our citizens you spit on when you turned, but every one of yours who fell the day the towers burned. You spit upon our soldiers, on our pilots and Marines, and now you'll get a little sense of just what payback means. So keep your Paris fashions and your wines and your champagnes, and find some other market that will buy your airplanes. And try to find somebody else to wear your French cologne, for you're about to find out what it means to stand alone. You see, you need us far more than we ever needed you. America has better friends who know how to be true. I'd rather stand with warriors who have the will and might,than huddle in the dark with those whose only flag is white. I'll take the Brits, the Aussies, the Israelis and the rest, for when it comes to valor we have seen that they're the best. We'll count on one another as we face a moment dire, while you sit on the sideline with a sign,"friendship for hire." We'll win this war without you and we'll total up the cost, and take it from your foreign aid, and then you'll feel the loss. And when your nation starts to fall, well French, you can spare us, just call the Germans for a hand, they know the way to Paris. =^.^=

SAD BUT TRUE REALITY OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS

A dog had followed his owner to school. His owner was a fourth grader at a public elementary school. However, when the bell rang, the dog sidled inside the building and made it all the way to��the child's classroom before a teacher noticed and shoo'ed him outside, closing the door behind him. � The dog sat down, whimpered and stared at the closed doors. Then God appeared beside the dog, patted his head, and said, Don't feel bad fella'��....they won't�let ME in either."

TOP 10 REASONS JOHN KERRY LOST!! ;-)>

Top Ten John Kerry Excuses 10. Voters were in a fever-induced haze because they couldn't get flu shots. 9. Floridians confused by shockingly unconfusing ballots. 8. Maybe it wasn't best idea to begin speeches with "yo mama is so fat" jokes. 7. The endorsement from Osama Bin Laden didn't exactly help him. 6. "Dude--it's the Curse of the Bambino." 5. Should've campaigned more in New Mexico, less in regular Mexico. 4. Turns out voters think it's hot that Cheney has a lesbian daughter. 3. Thought America was ready for a lunatic first lady. 2. Voters seem to really like a weak economy and a badly-run war. 1. Was distracted by late night erotic phone calls from Bill O'Reilly =^.^=

The POWER of PRAYER 4 this ELECTION DAY!

Hey everyone! I am usualy not so serious,but these are serious times folks! ;-)> The title may lead you to believe I am prayin for some horrific drama to happen to John and his ROYAL HEINZ-NESS!,even though there GOOSE is COOKED, BABY!(PLEASE LORD!) so before the serious, here is a funny Bush/Kerry toon to lighten ya. www.miniclip.com ~~ Many of you are concerned about our nation and the upcoming election. In keeping with 2 Chronicles 7:14, this is a call to prayer and fasting for our nation. It is sent to you because you are known to be a praying Christian. Once you have read the request, please copy and send it to ten Christians who are unknown to the person who sent the mail to you. On Tuesday, November 2, 2004 will you pray and fast concerning this election. Our nation is under attack. Not only is Satan putting it in the hearts of foreign enemies to attack, but many enemies from within would destroy all mention of God and His word. Please pray for our president, our nation, and our world. Please pray that God will give us a Godly man to serve for the next four years. Please pray against Satan and those who would use this election as a means to serve the cause of Satan. .. Below is an outline designed to help give focus as we pray and also help us be united and enable us to agree in prayer as one body. For it is written: ...if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. Matthew 18:19 Isaiah 58 explains the type of fast that pleases God. .. I. Pray for our president that no weapon formed against him will prosper. Isaiah 55:17 . II. Pray that God will forgive the sins of our nation and will have mercy on us and our nation. Isaiah 54:10 and Psalm 130:7 . III. Pray that the Lord will deliver us from evil. Matthew 6:13 IV. Pray that the Lord bless us and give to us a leader who serves God with his whole heart and a leader who seeks the face of God before making decisions for our country. Psalm 33:12 . V. Pray that the Lord will lay it on the hearts of his people to become a part of this election and cast a vote for the man who names the name of Christ and who prays daily for the nation. Please remember that the Bible shows us that when a nation serves God and pleases Him He blesses that nation with a Godly man to lead. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord Psalm 33:12 .. In view of the two tapes recently released from terrorist, it is very important that we as a nation unite in prayer. . ~~ =^.^= I hope this inspires the daily prayer and the not much of a praying person to belive like I do in the POWER OF PRAYER! I pray for everyone of YOU, this COUNTRY,its leader,all the great americans who make it ROCK! I pray for the strength,wisdom,power,knowledge and conpassion for our leader of of great country and the world.I pray for troops and their families. I pray many of you are inspired to say a prayer,many of you already are, and then their are some of you rolling your eyes. But please just take a moment and say a little something something!Ok, so pray and or fast! VOTE! Listen 2 Sean 3 Hours today and 1 on The BOOB TUBE tonight,and dont be causing no fights at the polling booth! LOL! No get yer butts moving!!! Remember, no matter WHAT the results are (PLEASE LORD NOT TERASSA!) remember I still love ya'll!!! =^.^=
