The holidays are upon us and it can be a very joyful time of year. Some of us have problems during the holidays and sometimes are overcome with great sadness when we remember the loved ones who are not with us. And, many people have no one to spend these times with and are besieged by loneliness. We all need caring thoughts and loving prayer right now. If I don't see your name, I'll understand. May I ask my friends wherever you might be, to kindly copy, paste, and share this status for one hour to give a moment of support to all those who have family problems, health struggles, job issues, worries of any kind and just need to know that someone cares. Do it for all of us, for nobody is immune. I hope to see this on the walls of all my friends just for moral support. I know some will! I did it for a friend, as well as my family and myself, and you can too. John Wofford

Book Review - 'Zeitoun,' by Dave Eggers - Review - NYTimes.com
This is a extremely important book which tells one families tale during the horrors of Katrina coupled with anti-Arab racial bigotry. This is modern day America. I was on Facebook a few hours ago in a thread where some unschooled, primitive hick, used the term "nig town" to describe Detroit Chicago and other cities. It came out of the blue. This is one reason I do not and will not own a fire arm. People who make statements like that would provoke me possibly to use one. As I decided over forty years ago I would never go overseas to fight a war until my real enemies here at home were defeated. Unfortuneately many of them are still alive and kicking.

The Democrats seem willing to finally make the Republicans actually talk during their excessive use of the filibuster which the Republican Party has used to block the majority agenda. Founding Father Alexander Hamilton deplored this type of practice in Federalist Paper #22 "To give a minority a negative upon the majority (which is always the case where more than a majority is requisite to a decision), is, in its tendency, to subject the sense of the greater number to that of the lesser. Congress, from the nonattendance of a few States, have been frequently in the situation of a Polish diet, where a single veto has been sufficient to put a stop to all their movements. A sixtieth part of the Union, which is about the proportion of Delaware and Rhode Island, has several times been able to oppose an entire bar to its operations. This is one of those refinements which, in practice, has an effect the reverse of what is expected from it in theory. The necessity of unanimity in public bodies, or of something approaching towards it, has been founded upon a supposition that it would contribute to security."

McCain,Mather man who chose Sarah Palin to be his VP, Refuses To Support Any Secretary Of State Nominee | ThinkProgress
McCain’s scapegoating of Rice has been soundly debunked, as the ambassador was simply given talking points provided by the intelligence community. Even other Republican senators have backed away from his plan to block her nomination. Despite the lack of support behind him, McCain appears willing to take his politicization of the Libya attack to new heights in the nomination process."
There is nothing worse than a bitter, revengeful, old man.

One of my Jewish co-workers sent this to me by email this morning. It made my sides hurt laughing. "It all makes sense now. Gay marriage and marijuana being legalized on the same day!" Leviticus 20:13 - "if a man lays with another man, he should be stoned." We've just been interpreting it wrong all these years!!!
