I think we must be finally seeing signs of recovery in our financial system!!!! At least, I think that must be the case.....! According to spokes-persons for the White House stated today that Fox News programming "is geared toward making money". GASP!!!!! How dare they??? (I can tell you are all thinking that!) But by the same token this MUST mean that all other news stations are NOT geared toward making money! So, at some point (I personally don't remember when.....must have been when I was deeply involved in why the current administration is bumbling so badly), the other news organizations must have become non-for-profit companies!!!! And I can only imagine that this had to be because of the hearty bounce-back of our struggling economy!
The article in todays Inland Valley Daily Bulletin (Oct 19, 2009)"White House aidew trade fire with Fox News", starts by simply stating that "White House advisors pledged on Sunday to book administration officials on Fox News despite claims by the president's inner circle that the cable news network is a GOP mouthpiece whose programming 'is geared towared making money'.
From White House Communications Director, Anita Dunn, to Obama's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel to Senior Obama advisor, David Axelrod, they have all put the Fox News Channel squarely in their sights. Dunn called F

My Suggestion For Saints!
The Catholic church is celebrating the recent cannonization of a new saint, Beglium-born Jozef De Veuster, better known as Father Damien. For any of you not aware of him, Father Damien is best known for his work with leprosy patients in the colony of Kalaupapa, Molokai, Hawaii for 16 years before dying of leprosy himself. While I am not a Catholic (although I grew up as one, attended catholic schools, was an altar boy and yes.....even once considered attending a seminary to become a priest! Those of you that know me can stop laughing so hard now.....) I applaud their efforts to bring attention to anyone who is or has been a follower of my Savior, Jesus Christ and as such has given greatly of themselves to save and/or help others. While my firmly held belief is that those of us who love, trust and have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior are all saints according to the Bible, I do not seek to diminish the actions of the Catholic Church which decrees that one must be cannonized in order to become a saint. I also have great respect for the sacrifices and devotion of Father Damien.
In the cannonization ceremony, the Pope is cited as having said, "The new saints had heeded Jesus' call to the 'heroism of sanctity, sacrificing themselves for others without calculation or personal gain." That sounds good to me. However, while reading these words, it struck me that if this is the definition of what it takes to become a saint, then there a whole lot of people out there that aptly deserve to be cannonized as saints.
A shining example of this is United States Marine Corps Corporal Jason Dunham. The following is taken from the American Patriot's Almanac by William J. Bennett and John T.E. Cribb and is the entry for April 14th in the book.
"One day, as Marine Corporal Jason Dunham and his buddies swapped talk in their barracks in Iraq, the converstation turned to the best way to survive a hand grenade attack. The corporal suggested covering a grenade with a Kevlar helmet. 'I'll bet a Kevlar would stop it,' he said.
Dunham, raised in the small town of Scio, New York, was a 22-year-old with a natural gift for leadership. He'd been a star athlete, setting a Scio Central School baseball record for highest batting average. Now a rifle squad leader, he'd extended his enlistment to stay with his comrades in Iraq.
On April 14, 2004, Dunham was on his way to help a Marine convoy that had been ambushed in western Iraq when an insurgent leaped from a car and attacked him. As two Marines rushed to help wrestle the man to the ground, they heard Dunham yell, 'No, no, no-watch his hand!' Before they realized what was happening, Dunham threw his helmet and his own body over a live enemy grenade.
The sacrifice helped contain the blast but left Dunham mortally wounded. He died eight days later at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
In January 2007 President George W. Bush awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously to Jason Dunham. 'Corporal Dunham saved the lives of two of his men, and showed the world what it means to be a Marine.' the President said. He was the first Marine to earn the Medal of Honor for service in Iraq.
Journalist Michael Phillips, author of The Gift of Valor, wrote that shortly before leaving for the Persian Gulf, Dunham told friends of his plans to extend his enlistment.
'You're crazy for extending,' a fellow Marine had said. 'Why?'
'I want to make sure everyone makes it home alive.' Jason Dunham answered."
While Jason Dunham saved two of his men through his completely selfless actions, it will be argued that Father Damien saved more. This may be true.....but is the point to count numbers or look at the selflessness of their acts? It is also safe to say that Corporal Jason Dunham completely fits what the Pope stated regarding the saints "heeding Jesus' call to the heroism of sanctity, sacrificing themselves for others without calculation or personal gain." How does the saying go???? "No greater love hath one than to lay down his life for his fellow man".....that others may live. It applied to Father Damien and it applies to Corporal Jason Dunham and so many others like him. Is there a Saint Jason??

Time For Young-Aged Parks
I've looked at some great places to live in the past! Clean, a pool, clubhouse, nice streets, decent rent, nice views.....etc. But there was a problem when I went to apply for one of them. I wasn't fifty-five years or older. That's all, nothing else. I am a clean, quiet tenant, believe in privacy, could easily make the rent, and had no other factors that wouldn't cause any place else to accept me with open arms. The only thing was that I wasn't a senior citizen!
This stems from the fact that there are mobile home parks for "seniors only" and then there are "all-ages mobile home parks". But.....aren't we missing something? Where are the "Young-Aged Parks"? Maybe it's just me, but this smacks of age discrimination. Many places contend that the Fair Housing Act allows this. If this is so, then I think that fairness and equality should be extended across the board.
So this community over here doesn't want anyone under age 55 living there. Why you might ask? They say they don't want noise, screaming kids and traffic. According to Dan and Fanny D'Amello of Fremont Heights Senior Park in Yucaipa, CA there's more to it....there's camaraderie! "We look out for one another," she said. Sometimes the women take one another to the beauty parlor, residents collect their neighbors mail and newspapers when they're out of town and check on one another's welfare. "If we lived in a family park, that wouldn't be the case." REALLY??? Are there rules, regulations or restrictions in other places that would prevent that? No. Then there must be something else that would stop them from doing the same thing in a family park, right? Wrong again. It's simply a weak excuse for age discrimination.
Many cite noise and traffic. Ok, I'll go with that. I don't want kids necessarily screaming outside my windows all the time either. Nor do I want music blaring out at all hours of the night. And let's face it.......if they lived around people that were under 55, they would be constantly bombarded with Lynard Skynard, Kanye West or Taylor Swift (no "dissing" allowed here though) at all hours of the night, thousands of people cruising up and down the streets looking for trouble and all other manner of nuisances right? You might be saying that sounds ridiculous! And you'd be right, because it is. Just because people are under 55 years of age and haven't entered their golden years doesn't mean they would be doing all this. In fact, the vast majority of families are also concerned with peace and quiet, traffic and all the other "concerns" that are held as reasons for seniors only parks.
Hey!!!! I've got it!!!! Since it's legal (allegedly) for seniors to discriminate against others just because of age, then let's just make it fair across the board. Let's make "Young Parks" where persons are not allowed to reside unless you are LESS than 55 years of age!!!! Then it would be fair. Then the "younger people" wouldn't have to worry about senior citizens needing so much quiet, could drive down their streets at break-neck speed and could be as raucous as they want. Then their needs would be met too!
This is a great option. Have "Senior Parks", "All Ages Parks" and "Young Parks". Then everyone would have equal opportunity for age discrimination and the ability to have their age-appropriate needs met by each of these parks!!
You'll have to excuse me now while I go off in my "Middle-aged Park" and laugh uproariously about how ludicrous and fragmented our society has become!

Let's Sing Kumbaya!!!
Well, I don't know about you but I have had a much more peaceful weekend knowing that our very own President Barack Hussein Obama (mmm, mmm, mmm) has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to bring peace to the world and bring us closer to being a global community!
What's that you say? What did he do to get this award? Well, let me tell you! Hmmmm, now there's......hmmm, just give me a minute as I find the stuff he did to warrant this Nobel Peace Prize......(rummaging through mountains of paperwork and documents....)....just give me another minute......well, ok, you got me! I guess I can't find ANYTHING he's done that would justify this award!!! Hey, wait a minute...he's done a LOT of talking on TV shows.....! Does that count???
Well, like Victor Davis Hanson of the Hoover Institute writes in the Oct 8, 2009 Honolulu Advertiser, the US may be more liked around the world, but not more respected! So is being "more liked" all it takes to win this prize now? If so, then the Nobel Peace Prize is worthless! What we have here in actuality is a person who has chosen to apologize for the "sins" of the United States (instead of pointing out all the "good" the US does), has emboldened our enemies and made our country less safe!
To back this up, I offer the following. First and foremost, the President of this country should be an outright patriot and as such has no business "apologizing" continuously to every nation in the world! While we may not be a perfect country in every way, we are the shining city on the hill, the greatest advocate for peace, liberty, freedom and the pursuit of happiness that the world has ever known. Why is it that millions (both legally and illegally) flock to our country every year? Is it because we are such a bad country with really bad people? Absolutely not! It's because this is the greatest country on the face of the planet and we offer freedoms, opportunity and justice on a scale unheard of in other countries! So why does our "elected leader" see it as his place to apologize for us? In addition, I challenge ANYONE to show me a country that has never made mistakes or wronged someone else! You can't......so again, why are we so bad???
Keep in mind also the following: that while our President has been "making nice with the other countries", the dictators in those countries have become emboldened to take actions that were never taken while George W. Bush was in office. Start with North Korea which has fired test missiles (short and long range) this past summer and again just today. Iran has thumbed their nose at Obama's peace-keeping friendliness while continuing to build their nuclear sites and openly state that they are all for the non-existence of Israel. You didn't see this during the Bush Administration!!! In addition, while trying to "talk" to other nations such as Cuba and Venezuela, Castro and Chavez continue to praise Obama for the great job he's doing while continuing to buy arms from Russia. Special envoys were sent to Syria but while they too praise the job Obama is doing, they don't stop funding terrorist groups! And then who could forget Obama's stellar decision to stop the missile defense plans in Eastern Europe, which puts Eastern Europe in potential harm's way with Russia. But Russia continues to send weapons to countries that simply don't like us! And all this got Obama the Peace Prize!!!!!! I guess it's safe to say that effectiveness has nothing to do with deserving this honor! And shouldn't we be at least a little concerned when dictators/leaders like Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Ahmahdinajad (however you spell that....) and Vladimir Putin praise our own President for the job he's doing? But hey, at least we feel safer don't we???
What's that you say? What did he do to get this award? Well, let me tell you! Hmmmm, now there's......hmmm, just give me a minute as I find the stuff he did to warrant this Nobel Peace Prize......(rummaging through mountains of paperwork and documents....)....just give me another minute......well, ok, you got me!

Sexual Tensions???
I haven't written in this blog for almost a month and have really missed it! However, today I feel compelled to address an issue that is enough to drive almost anyone crazy who has any common sense at all!!!
Let's talk sex!!! (I bet that got your attention huh?) Or actually, to be more accurate, let's talk about illegal sex (rape) and illicit sex (affairs). First out the chute there's Roman Polansky who was convicted of drugging and raping a 13 year old girl over 30 years ago!!! He served 42 days in jail while awaiting trial and on the day he was to be sentenced and could have gotten up to three years in prison, he fled the country. Since then he has been living like a king in France and has never been brought to justice. Now that he is once again behind bars and fighting extradition back to the United States, he is being backed by the "Hollywood intellectual elites".....like Whoopi Goldberg, Debra Winger and many others!!!! They are actually petitioning to have him released and be allowed to remain a free man because "It was SO long ago", "The victim forgives him and wants him left alone", "He suffered so much as a young man" and "He's such a great producer!" for example. Does anyone else see something wrong, very wrong with this picture?
The fact of the matter is that he is a felon, a fugitive convicted of drugging and raping a 13 year old girl!!!! All the reasons that the "Hollywood intellectual elites" use as justification for letting him go mean absolutely NOTHING! I am impressed that the victim herself forgives him and wants him left alone at this point, but that doesn't mean by any stretch of the imagination that he should not be held accountable for his actions. Also keep in mind that he has never expressed any kind of remorse for his crime. He has simply flipped our great country and legal system the "middle finger", and lived like a king amid riches, fame and glory!
So with all this in mind, I submit the following: If it were me or any other "average joe" who had done this, fled and was finally captured over 30 years later, there would be NO public outcry from Hollywood for my or our release! There would be nothing on the news channels championing my or our actions. There would only be a solid outcry of "At last......!" and "Bring him back and let him rot in prison for the rest of his life". Isn't this what should be happening regarding Roman Polansky???
I have a 14 year old daughter whom I love more than life itself. I can't imagine having had a sleaze-bag like Polansky drug and rape her more than a year ago and then being ok with him leaving the country to live like a king, thumb his nose at the crime he's committed and leaving my daughter with the scars that would most certainly result from his actions! Perhaps Whoopi Goldberg and all the others should put themselves in that position and ask how they would feel if the victim had been THEIR daughter??? I would be willing to bet that their take on the situation would be a complete reversal of what they are saying now.
While this is going on, another slime-bag is being tried for continually raping Elizabeth Smart numerous times a day after kidnapping her at the age of 9 years old. Obviously this guy is far worse than Polansky, but they committed the same crime sexually. By the way, I stand in awe of the strength of Elizabeth Smart for testifying as she has done with the whole world watching. I also feel great sorrow for the parents, family and friends of Ms. Smart as they continue to find more about the heart-breaking treatment of their daughter.
Lastly, late-night talk show host David Letterman has admitted to having a number of sexual affairs with members of his staff and then being blackmailed for it. Let me make it perfectly clear that I do not condone the blackmail and feel the culprit should pay the appropriate penalty for doing so. However, I would like to point out the unbelievable hypocrisy of Letterman. This is a very liberal person who has taken any and every opportunity to tear up any conservative who has tread into the waters of sexual affairs. He has demeaned, belittled and insulted them at every opportunity.......all while doing the very same thing himself!!!! Is that not the very height of hypocrisy???? And is the media focusing on the affairs or his hypocrisy in this situation??? No. They are focusing only on the blackmail portion with the hopes of making all of American feel sorry for Letterman and view him only as a victim. Do I feel that way? Not so much....!
So, with all this in mind, we have three guys involved with sexual situations that are muddying the waters around them. Granted, what Letterman did is not illegal but it is viewed by most Americans as immoral. However, two of these men concerned have the media and Hollywood trying to sway the court of opinion in such a way as to paint them as victims when they are not. All of them have either broken the law and as such should penalized appropriately or have done the very same actions that they have vehemently condemned others for. Bottom line: Polansky and the Smart rapist should go to prison and Letterman should stop being a hypocrite and attacking others for actions he himself is guilty of! 'Nuff said!
