Cool BroadCast System

Whoa. If CBS did this, I bet even I would watch.

No doubt, CBS' ratings-starved morning show needs a big name replacement. But is it really possible America could soon wake up to "The Early Show" with Bill Clinton and Jane Clayson?

Still Needed: One Presidential Backbone.

Just who the hell does this guy think he is? First he gives us a stern warning about supporting Israel, and now this.

Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah's representatives asked that women be barred from air traffic control duties when he traveled Thursday to Central Texas for a summit with President Bush, several Texas aviation officials say.

The really bad part is, the request was honored on portions of his flights between Houston and Waco.

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. When we go to another country, we might not agree with their customs and laws, but we must abide by them while we are in their country. Right? Well. When anyone one is here from another country, they can just live with OUR customs and laws, or GET THE HELL OUT! Geeeeeeeez. I cannot believe ANYONE actually thought, "Oh okay your royal pain in the ass, we will bar any woman from doing the job she is just as qualified to do, just so you can feel better about yourself by placing idiotic demands upon US, in our OWN COUNTRY!

He should have been told, "If you do not want womem working in the air traffic control towers, then GO HOME, you are not welcome in Texas, nor anywhere else in the United States.

Oh, Puhleeaze.

"Oh mother, please be happy with me," wrote Youssef. "I ask you to pray to God to make my martyrdom operation a success."

Who do you think wrote that note?

Even militant Palestinians were shocked yesterday by the latest suicide bombers ? three 14-year-old boys who were shot dead after school as they tried to attack an Israeli settlement with pipe bombs.

Isn't that wonderful? I am sure in that region of the world there are a majority of teenagers who will actually make something of their lives. Who knows, the next leader of the Palestinian people "could" be right there, right now. Of course, this makes me wonder who was helping them. It's not like kids that age have ready access to those sorts of weapons. Then again,

Youssef's mother blamed Israeli soldiers for her son's death.

Now ain't that the pot calling the kettle black.

Note to the mother of Youssef Zaqout: Your son is responsible for his own death. The Israeli soldiers are only responsible for possibly saving the lives of INNOCENT people, and if you want things to change, get rid of Arafat.

Hell has no angels.

Did you see the news this morning? Three (or four) people dead, and 12 others seriously injured in what police are calling "Motorcycle Gang Warfare".

After seeing the news when we got up today, I called my dad (who lives in Arizona, near Bullhead City) to see what the skinny was. Seems some "Hell's Angels" decided to leave the comfort of the Flamingo Hotel and go in search of trouble with the Mambos (I am not sure of the spelling, he just told me the names) at Harrah's. Of course, the news here just tells us "members of a motorcycle gang" were causing trouble.

Of course this will center attention now on the "terrible motorcycle gangs" that meet each year in Laughlin, and in Sturgis, South Dakota. What people don't realize is events like these have gone on for years (20 in Laughlin, and over 50 in Sturgis) with very few "acts of violence". Let's hope the media does not "hype" this like they do everything else. The last thing I want to see on the news for the next week is hairy men wearing leather riding motorcyles in the desert.

16 years already?

Whoa. It totally blows my mind to think the Chernobyl accident was 16 years ago already.
