Not gonna make any money today, coffee is goin out fast, no one is eating, just talking and drinking coffee. Cheney this and Cheney that, THEY did have weapons of mass destruction, are we gonna hear more about that? Olympics, not a lot of talk about that, one table is talking about Curling .. they don't know what they are talking about, but they are interested in knowing more about the sport, I guess it's a sport.
Sutton going in to re-hab, again .. should coaches that drink that much be coaching athletes .. he had been drinking when he had his last wreck. I bet he had others. I've know a lot of coaches ... coaching drives you to drink.
Indiana coach ... gotta be out. Too many good Hoosier HS players leaving the state. If Bobby was there ... next year ... Indiana .... OUTSTANDING ... if they had gotten all that talent going to Ohio State.
Cheney ... I don't think we know anything that happened .. something stinks. I've been hit in the ass with that kind of shot .... stealing apples from an orchard, years ago .. he didn't like dogs. Alcohol and guns don't mix. My guess is his cardialogist was not with him .... all that food, drink ... excuse me .... heart problems??? Hey, he's from Wyoming, he grew up on Coors ... AND ... with a shotgun in his hand. If anyone knew GUN SAFETY ... he did ... SO something went wrong .. it sure wasn't his FIRST HUNT .... accidents can happen .. USUALLY not with experienced hunters .... WE WILL NEVER KNOW ..
Baseball .... SPRING TRAINING ... I love to hear that .. SPRING is getting close, want to lay in the sun again .... tanning beds are REALLY expensive.
The grill is full, I feel better, those coffee drinkers are gonna be the death of me yet .....

Some answers to the Clinton Question
Bill and Hillary
Bill Clinton registers for the draft on September 08,
1964, accepting all contractual conditions of
registering for the draft.
Selective Service Number 326 46 228.
Bill Clinton classified 2-S on November 17, 1964.
Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on March 20, 1968.
Bill Clinton ordered to report for induction on July
28, 1969.
Bill Clinton refuses to report and is not inducted
into the military.
Bill Clinton reclassified 1-D after enlisting in the
United States Army Reserves on August 07, 1969, under
authority of Col. E. Holmes.
Clinton signs enlistment papers and takes oath of
enlistment.
Bill Clinton fails to report to his duty station at
the University of Arkansas ROTC, September 1969.
Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on October 30, 1969, as
enlistment with Army Reserves is revoked by Colonel E.
Holmes and Clinton now AWOL and subject to arrest
under Public Law 90-40 (2)(a) registrant who has
failed to report...remain liable for induction.'
Bill Clinton's birth date lottery number is 311, drawn
December 1, 1969, but anyone who has already been
ordered to report for induction is INELIGIBLE!
Bill Clinton runs for Congress (1974), while a
fugitive from justice under Public Law 90-40.
Bill Clinton runs for Arkansas Attorney General
(1976), while a fugitive from justice.
Bill Clinton receives pardon on January 21,1977, from
President Carter.
Bill Clinton FIRST PARDONED FEDERAL FELON ever to
serve as President of the United States.
All these facts come from Freedom of Information
requests, public laws, and various books that have
been published, and have not been refuted by Clinton.
After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, President
Clinton promised that those responsible would be
hunted down and punished.
After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed
five US military personnel; Clinton promised that
those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia,
which killed 19 and injured 200 U.S. military
personnel; Clinton promised that those responsible
would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa,
which killed 224 and injured 5,000; Clinton promised
that those responsible would be hunted down and
punished.
After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed
17 and injured 39 U.S. sailors; Clinton promised that
those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
Maybe if Clinton had kept those promises, an estimated
3,000 people in New York and Washington, DC that are
now dead would be alive today.
AN INTERESTING QUESTION:
This question was raised on a Philly radio call-in
show. Without casting stones, it is a legitimate
question.
There are two men, both extremely wealthy. One
develops relatively cheap software and gives billions
of dollars to charity.
The other sponsors terrorism. That being the case, why
was it that the Clinton Administration spent more
money chasing down Bill Gates over the eight years in
office, than Osama bin Laden?
THINK ABOUT IT!
It is a strange turn of events. Hillary gets $8
Million for her forth coming memoir. Bill gets about
$12 Million for his memoir yet to be written. This
from two people who spent 8 years being unable to
recall anything about past events while under oath.
Sincerely,
Cdr. Hamilton McWhorter USN (ret)
P.S. Please forward this to as many people as you can!

I think a SAD commentary ...
Heard excerpts from a speech made by a BIG TIME football coach. HIS New Years EVE is the day before prospects SIGN. And his New years Day, is after they have all sign. Those are his HOLIDAYS. He didn't comment about Christmas. I imagine his Christmas is determined by the quality of the recruits he gleans.
He didn't sasy anything about his players, how they are doing in school, their accomplishments, he just wants a GREAT RECRUITING CLASS. But remember, he is making more money than he ever dreamed he would, MILLIONS he is raking in. Explains why he needs those GOLDEN RECRUITS ... keep those GREAT recruiting classes and he keeps his job and continues to rake in the millions. Makes sense.
"Woody" Hayes A COACH, Bo, a COACH, and there are others who deserve being called COACH, not just MARKETING IMAGES ... with no substance. Woody, I have often heard comment, "OH, he is doing great in his chemistry class, and has a GPA of 3.9, he wants to go on to Med School. His Mom Hazel and his Dad Bob, are so proud of him. OH, and he is a FINE DEFENSIVE LINEMAN." And incidentally, as I racall, he always turned down PAY RAISES, he loved to COACH at The Ohio State University. HE was called COACH, or THE COACH, deservedly so.
He, and a few others, were COACHES, made for COACHING, not for TV.

Star Struck
WHY do they think we are all "star struck"? That we want, or need to know ALL they do, when they do it and why? I, personally, get tired of hearing about them, and even more offended that "they" think that I want to know.
I guess news people are so desperate for anything to put on the air, that they grasp at anything .. even who is going out with whom. I for one, don't care.
Tonights news, good example. A lady thought she had her foot on the brake, instead, on the gas, and she ran into her own apartment. I don't care about that.
Some time, evaluate the importance of each news story on the 7 o'clock news, news, ain't news anymore, it is just FILLER. That is why they love catastrophic events. The SUPER BOWL, good example. REalistically, it is just a football game, often, played by two teams that have already played each other ... but now, THE SUPER BOWL. Instead of just on a Sunday, they can stretch it out for almost 2 weeks, and revive the careers of obsolete entertainers, becuase people remember them. And, groups today, go so fast that they are not around at gametime. But, The Rolling Stones, all the old people who they want to watch the game have hard of them ... from a lllllgoooonnnngggg time ago. Does that show how desperate they are for "talent." Geriatrics watch, so they clean out the nursing homes for "entertainment."
Not too many years ago, Red Grange played, because he loved to play football. Then, along came TELEVISION, and MARKETING created the NFL, convinced us we could not live without football. Look at the success of MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. MARKETING, SALES, FILL AIRTIME. When there is a timeout on the field, during a TV football game. There is one man on the sideline ... who gets his cue from somewhere, HE signals the ref, and the game continues. He works for the TV network, they control the game. They control the number of time-outs, and generally, the when and where of them.
TElevision, rules the SUPER BOWL this SUNDAY, the revenue from this day keeps them going. The end camp, and the displays at WalMart today, all geared for the "game." They are even BEAMING it to our troops in IRAQ .... MAYBE THEY COULD CALL A truce and all watch the game.

A Great Read ...... the Story of a Penny
Story of a penny
You always hear the usual stories of pennies on the sidewalk being good luck, gifts from angels, etc. This is the first time I've ever heard this
twist on the story. Gives you something to think about.
Several years ago, a friend of mine and her husband were invited to spend the weekend at the husband's employer's home. My friend, Arlene, was nervous about the weekend. The boss was very wealthy, with a fine home onthe waterway, and cars costing more than her house.
The first day and evening went well, and Arlene was delighted to have
this rare glimpse into how the very wealthy live. The husband's employer
was quite generous as a host, and took them to the finest restaurants.
Arlene knew she would never have the opportunity to indulge in this kind
of extravagance again, so was enjoying herself immensely.
As the three of them were about to enter an exclusive restaurant that
evening, the boss was walking slightly ahead of Arlene and her husband.
He stopped suddenly, looking down on the pavement for a long, silent moment.
Arlene wondered if she was supposed to pass him. There was nothing on the ground except a single darkened penny that someone had dropped, and a few cigarette butts. Still silent, the man reached down and picked up the penny.
He held it up and smiled, then put it in his pocket as if he had
found a great treasure. How absurd! What need did this man have for a
single penny? Why would he even take the time to stop and pick it up?
Throughout dinner, the entire scene nagged at her. Finally, she could
stand it no longer. She causally mentioned that her daughter once had a
coin collection, and asked if the penny he had found had been of some value.
A smile crept across the man's face as he reached into his
pocket for the penny and held it out for her to see. She had seen many
pennies before! What was the point of this?
"Look at it." He said. "Read what it says."
She read the words "United States of America."
"No, not that; read further."
"One cent?"
"No, keep reading."
"In God we Trust?"
"Yes,"
"And?"
"And if I trust in God, the name of God is holy, even on a coin.
Whenever I find a coin I see that inscription. It is written on every
single United States coin, but we never seem to notice it! God drops a
message right in front of me telling me to trust Him? Who am I to pass it by? When I see a coin, I pray, I stop to see if my trust IS in God at that moment. I pick the coin up as a response to God; that I do trust in Him. For a short time, at least, I cherish it as if it were gold. I think it is
God's way of starting a conversation with me. Lucky for me, God is patient and pennies are plentiful!
When I was out shopping today, I found a penny on the sidewalk. I stopped and picked it up, and realized that I had been worrying and fretting in my mind about things I cannot change. I read the words, "In God We Trust," and had to laugh. Yes, God, I get the message.
It seems that I have been finding an inordinate number of
pennies in the last few months, but then, pennies are plentiful!
And, God is patient...
Have a blessed day!
