Proud 2 B an American

I love this video by the Tennessee GOP. I'm sure that John McCain will probably attack them like he did the NC GOP for our video about Obama and the Dem Gov. Candidates.

Obama and the Cross.

Wow, this is very interesting. I remember before Christmas, everyone got upset when the bookcase behind Mike Huckabee seemed to form a cross. The anti christian groups came out blasting the Huckster, and it was all over the news for a few days. I have yet to see any stories on this on the major new networks.

I know that Christians disagree on many areas, but I have trouble when someone supports abortion at any trimester. He has made many statements on the subject of abortion and teen pregnancy that I disagree with completely.

On tap in space: Urine will not go to waste.

I know when I was growing up in the 70's, it was cool to dream of becoming a astronaut. The astronauts use to drink "Tang" back then. It's hard for me to believe that 30 years later the astronauts will now be drinking water that's made from their URINE!!!

I now wonder what was in Tang???

X-Files: I Want To Believe

Wow, I had no idea that one of my favorite shows of all time had a second movie coming out this summer. X-Files was my second favorite show of the 90's, behind Seinfeld. X-Files was one of the TV shows that Kristy and I watched every week when we were dating in the 90's. "The Truth is Out There"

Stumpy and His Wife

Stumpy and his wife Martha went to the state fair every year. Every year Stumpy would say, "Martha, I'd like to ride in that there airplane."

And every year Martha would say, "I know Stumpy, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."

One year Stumpy and Martha went to the fair and Stumpy said, "Martha, I'm 71 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never get another chance."

Martha replied, "Stumpy, that there airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."

The pilot overheard them and said, "Folks, I'll make you a deal, I'll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say one word, I won't charge you, but if you say one word it's ten dollars."

Stumpy and Martha agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word was heard. He did all his tricks over again, but still not a word. They landed and the pilot turned to Stumpy, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't."

Stumpy replied, "Well, I was gonna say something when Martha fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars."

Giant Pythons Could Spread Quickly Across South!

I thought it was bad when Killer Bees were coming in the 70's and 80's, Fire Ants in the 90's, but this would be the worse invader of all. I hate snakes and to think that pythons could start hanging out in Kannapolis is crazy. I'm just surprised that they are not blaming this on Global Warming, though.

Weather vs Sports

I was wondering if it is wrong for me to be so upset when the local TV stations interrupt a sports event to cover a Tornado warning in one of the many counties that make up the Charlotte region.

After a wonderful time with my Mom on Mother's Day, I got home and was actually looking forward to watching the Lakers vs Jazz (Duke's Carlos Boozer's Team). I have not got to see many of the games, since I drive to Atlanta in the evenings. The game started and early in the second period, here comes the "weather geeks" (a term from the local sports talk station). The radar indihttp://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=12596429#

I understand the need to inform people that their life may be in danger. The game was on WSOC TV and they have a sister station, WAXN. They were showing the weather on both. The station finally made the decision about 2 hours later to at least show the final 7 minutes of the game on WAXN. I don't understand why the Charlotte stations who have a sister station don't do the weather on one and the sports on the other.

This happen during the ACC Tournament when Duke was playing Clemson. WBTV did not show about 40 minutes of that game even though they have another station they could switch too or at least do a Picture and Picture deal on WBTV. I noticed that WCNC put the golf coverage yesterday in a small picture why still reporting the weather. That makes so much sense to me. I hope they will be quicker to give us in no danger the option of watching the sports we enjoy watching and if the storm is near Kannapolis, I can watch both in my own PIP window (Jordan Brown many years ago called it a pimp window) on my TV.

This is the storm that interfered with the Jazz vs Lakers game.

Third Opinion

Three Doctors are dicussing which types of patients they prefer. Doctor Watson says, ''I prefer librarians. All their organs are alphabetized.''

Doctor Fitzpatrick says, ''I prefer mathematicians. All their organs are numbered.''

Doctor Ahn says, ''I prefer lawyers. They are gutless, heartless, brainless, spineless, and their heads and rear ends are interchangeable.''

Happy Mother's Day

I've had a good Mother's Day. My mom and mother in law came to Crossroads Kannapolis for worship this morning, and then we went to Sojo's for lunch. The hibachi chicken was awesome, as always and I even brought some home for supper. The chef was good, but he was not able to catch the eggs in his pocket (he missed and the eggs cracked both times). He was able to hit his hat with the egg later.

I hope you all have a great time with your mom today and give thanks to God for your mom.

General Stonewall Jackson

Confederate Memorial Day

I know that the official Yankee Memorial Day is still a few weeks away, but today is Confederate Memorial Day. This is the day that the great Stonewall Jackson died 145 years ago. I've been to both Stonewall and Robert E Lee's grave in Lexington, Va. If you love history, especially Southern History, you have to visit at least once in your life.

I'm Back to Blogging

I guess after a few months off, it's time to blog stuff that interest me again. I hope you will make the blog a regular site that you hit as you surf the web.

Charlton Heston dead at 84.

It's a very sad day when we lose one of our greatest actors. I loved to watch the 10 Commandments , Ben Hur, and of course Planet of the Apes (my favorite heston movie). I respected that he was a conservative in hollywood and was the leader of the NRA (even if Bono took shots at him during Bullet the Blue Sky).
