Telemarketers get called at dinner time!!!!! I know everyone has seen this but I don't care.  Its my page and I'll post it again if I want to...so there! On a related note .... about 3 days ago I switched my local phone service to AT&T so I can get everything (local, long distance, wireless) all in one place.  They were offering a package to suit my needs that offered more for less so I'll give them a try.  So far so good.  The really good part is something they call "Privacy Screener".  It has eliminated almost all of our dinnertime telemarketer calls.  I still get one a day from someone named UTAH.  Anyone know who UTAH is?  I use to get at least 5 rings a day from "unknown caller".  I feel like unknown caller and myself have developed an intimate relationship over the last few years.  I have to admire they're tenacity.  I know its a computer dialing me but I like to think of it as a person wasting their time 5 times a day, 365 days a year.  That's right....everyday of the year.  You would think after a few years the programming would be written to conclude that after ten thousand calls this person is probably not going to answer!  I miss him/her/it a little.  BS!  I love it!

Hey!  Our little backwater football team just scored 28 points against the #1 team in the nation.  The team that only allowed 13 points in their first two games of the season.  Too bad the Dogs didn't play the first half the same as the second. Go Dogs! Any Place, Any Time, Any Where! 4:17:45 PM

Santa helping Uncle Sam in terror war    The news service reports Santa didn't disappoint but sent Corcoran, who has since left the Marines, everything he asked for. The short-wave radio wound up providing intelligence on enemy fighters. We can't depend on the French or Germans to help but Santa can always be depended on! (LP) 3:29:10 PM

My favorite Quote of The Day "You know, the only thing I never got over in life is I took a young lady to a dance when I was in high school and she left with somebody else. And that's what the Democrats, some, have done to the black community. We helped take you to the dance, and you leave with right-wingers, you leave with people that you say are swing voters, you leave with people that are antithetical to our interests. I am saying in 2004, if we take you to the party, you [are] going home with us, or we're not taking you to the party."  [Reverend Al Sharpton ] You tell um Al!  I'm so glad we always have some candidates like this in every campaign.  Its all just too serious without some comedians.

ACLU:  No God allowed in America! If its not obvious to all by now, it should be, that the ACLU has one goal in mind and that is the creation of a godless country.  I'm not a religious person but I spent 20 years of my life (at way below minimum wage) doing what little I could to make sure that the people of this country could continue to enjoy all the basic human rights that the forefathers envisioned for this country.  Its really long past time for this country to wake up and see this organization for what it is.  Its time for a few judges with intestinal fortitude to start saying no to the godless liberals of the ACLU or this country will have nothing left to stop the intended take over by the 'Religion of Peace'.  (LP) 2:52:44 PM

Gulf News: Israelis Use Poisonous Rays. How deranged is the Arab world? [little green footballs] The new security steps include searching and close monitoring of all Arafat's visitors. The sources said that one speculated method of assassination could be the direction of poisonous rays towards Arafat's brain. What will those wily Jews think of next? 2:20:06 PM

Quote of the Day. Al Jazeera aired new footage of Osama bin Laden ... It's the usual stuff. Called Bush evil, called him the Great Satan, called him a warmonger. The same stuff we heard last night at the Democratic presidential debate. -- Jay Leno [Right We Are] 2:12:59 PM

When Did Nature Get So Whiney?. And then there's global warming. I didn’t even know the details on global warming so I looked it up. There are a lot of vying statistics, but I think the crux of it is the temperature has gone up... [Zogby Blog] 8:13:16 AM

Spitting on their graves (townhall.com) Across the nation, public officials will strike somber poses and shed television-friendly tears and bow their blow-dried heads in memory of the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks. They'll hold hands, light candles, and pass around a plateful of platitudes: "Never forget," they'll intone. "Let's roll," they'll thunder. "God bless America," they'll warble in perfect harmony. And then, from Washington state to Washington, D.C., they'll go back to work, roll up their sleeves, and spit on the graves of the 9/11 dead.   7:54:23 AM
