WHY NY NEEDS NEW BLOOD

What a sad commentary on the state of affairs inNew York. It started with
eliot and the client 9 affair. then you've got the thug crew - Pedro Espada and Co. who brazenly held up, yes thats right , held up the state legislature this pass summer and now, its down to his honor, Governor David Patterson.
lets recap, a governor- former hot shot, gung ho prosecutor - hiring hookers left & right then you've got a sorry bunch of politicos who took the state hostage just to get their way and then
gov. dave, who tries to force an abused woman into dropping charges of possible abuse in order to protect one of his own.
i hope many voters agree with me and vote to evict all the incumbents in albany and washington.
organizations like the tea party and former political stars like ed koch are on the right track.
lets support them whole heartedly

2 icons of the 80's are gone and i grow older by the day. in my tweens , i knew farrah was the girl for me. like alot a lot of guys, of course i had the poster. i was so cool.we'll miss you, FARRAH
the other icon was a true star in every sense of the word.we all know of his many faults, but no can fault his talent. may he rest in peace.

" eyes on the prize "

last week i watched, quite intently , a p b s special re- broadcast of eyes on the prize.
after viewing this piece, i was awed by the quiet dignity of many of the young adults who were interviewed on the show. how brave these folks are to have stood up and perservered .

these are true hero's. think about how brave they are to have walked thru mobs, dogs, rednecks& policemen for what they knew was the right thing to do.

yet there is very little written about people who are heroes.

sad.

31 ST ANNUAL NATIONAL VEGETARIAN DAY

TODAY IS THE 31ST ANNUAL  NAT'L  VEGETARIAN DAY. SO TO ALL VEGANS IN THE WORLD , I HAVE ONLY THESE HEARTFELT WORDS TO SAY :

EAT A HOTDOG !!!

PEARL HARBOR TO 9 /11 MEMORIAL DAY 2009

TODAY I MET A MOST AMAZING SITE. IT REINFORCED IN ME WHAT THIS COUNTRY STANDS FOR AND HOW ITS SURVIVED.  AS I WAS STANDING ON A LOCAL STREET , I HAPPENED TO NOTICE  A  OLDER GENT, OBVIOUSLY OF THE" GREATEST GENERATION", WHO WAS , LIKE ME WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE  A FREINDLY SORT, I NOTICED AND COMMENTED ON THE FACT THAT HE WAS WEARING A WHITE ARMY CAP. YOU KNOW THE TYPE, WORE BY VETERANS OF PAST WARS AND WHAT STRUCK ME AND THAT I FOUND SO AMAZING WAS THAT IT READ ON THE EDGE OF THE CAP "  PEARL HARBOR "

THIS FINE FELLOW WAS A SURVIVOR OF THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR. I WAS AWED. I'D NEVER MET A PEARL SURVIVOR.  IN OUR LITTLE CHAT .HE QUICKLY TOLD ME ABOUT BEING ON THE USS ARIZONA ON BATTLESHIP ROW THAT SUNDAY MORNING. I WISH YOU COULD'VE BEEN THERE. IT WAS RIVERTING. AND THEN HE MENTIONED THAT HE WAS ONLY JUST 18 AT THE TIME. AT THIS POINT , HIS FAMILY CAME FOR HIM AND HE HAD TO GO. BUT BEFORE HE LEFT, I SHOOK HIS HAND AND THANKED HIM.

THIS IS WHAT THIS COUNTRY IS ABOUT , PEOPLE WHO DO THE RIGHT THING WHEN ITS NEEDED.

REMEMBER TO THANK A VET.THEY DESERVE IT AND SEND A DONATION TO THE 

 U S O ANY HELP WE GIVE THE VETS IS HELP THEY DESERVE AND THEY'VE EARNED.

THE" stand up " ACT, A GREAT IDEA

i recently learned about an idea that makes a hell of a lot of sense. it's called the Stand up  act.  

 The Stand up act - ( h.r. 1895) creates a national graduated licensing law. this  law  limits  nighttime  driving , reduces in-car distractions ( never understood the need for  DVD players in cars )  , puts a cap on the # friends in the car ( a good safety measure for the less experienced drivers)  and increases the required hrs. of training.its  just  basic  comic sense the less distractions and the more training teen drivers get the more that will live. new drivers need to realize  that they are driving and the responsibilities & risks involved.
