You can do better

Cable network's evening "News" shows do not report news, they rehash what was "reported" yesterday and the day before that and the day before that and on and on and on. They are lazy.

 

The Nancy Grace shows does not tell us anything we do not know it just beats up on the focus of their "investigation." If the "contributor" does not say exactly what Ms Grace wants, she interrupts and goes to another…

 

The detective who 76'd the OJ trial is considered an expert on everything. You could see it coming. What policeman who arrests blacks has not used the "N" word? When Furman lied the trial was over. He was not a competent detective he is not a worthwhile "contributor."

 

Polly Glasses' death did not make her father an expert on anything.

 

Oberman has a talk show where he complains about Bill O'reilly.

 

Listen up…..get new "contributors" what you have are staffs at large.

 

ESPN used to be a source for sports news but today they are in bed with the teams, coaches, players they are afraid to say anything serious.

Hyperbole is the Best Thing Ever.

Reference Brownlee Reagan's properties at light 3 in Gatlinburg.

City Manager and City Commissioners:

 

Reference Brownlee Reagan's properties at light 3 in Gatlinburg.

 

How about an ordinance requiring the removal of buildings and structures and whatever else to cover the Fun Mountain fiasco on all properties unoccupied for 3 months or 6 months or whatever length of time you like.

 

A lawyer would have to insert the right words. The tone of the ordinance would be to require the property owner to remove all buildings and structures, add appropriate landscaping and provide continuing maintenance. Without a public hearing after 1 year the property would be considered abandoned and forfeited to the city. 

 

Mr. Reagan's lack of concern for Gatlinburg should be disturbing to every Gatlinburg resident.

Greenbay and Favre

Brett Favre has been paid very well, no one owes him anything, he has overstayed his welcome and has damaged his memory. He will be remembered as that old guy who hung around too long....

As Gay Marriage returns to the country’s attention

Throughout the Bible one can easily find that God condemns homosexuality and promises that those who participate in such will not be among those saved. Condemnation of adultery and fornication as well as a host of other sins are also easily found along with similar promise.

 

Christians have selected homosexuality to detest more than other sins. And because of that selection Gay Marriage will become the law of the land.

 

Why do Christians abhor homosexuals but not adulterers or fornicators or other "sinners?" Could it be Christians fear homosexuality and envy those who can "get away" with adultery or fornication?

 

Those who "play the game" and marry but then divorce and marry and divorce several times are practicing serial adultery. Christians celebrate such acts by idolizing the participants. Today's Christians are no different than the Christians in Corinth who were proud of their tolerance of the man who had his father's wife.

 

Instead of being selective Christians must "Abstain from every form of evil."

 

As long as our "Christian" country permits adulterers and fornicators to enjoy the same legal benefits as married couples, homosexuals must and will be permitted the same benefits.

 

If Christians want to change the world we must vote AND tell the people the Good News about Jesus.

History of Cereal

During the early 19^th century most Americans subsisted on a diet of pork, whiskey and coffee. Christian fundamentalists considered the diet to be bad on the soul and worse on the colon. They believed that constipation was God's punishment for eating meat. The diet was also blamed for fueling laziness and lust. To rid America of these vices, religious zealots spearheaded the country's first vegetarian movement. In 1863, one member of this group, Dr. James Johnson invented Granula, America's first ready-to-eat, grain-based breakfast product. Better known as cereal, Jackson's rock-hard breakfast bricks offered consumers a sin-free meat alternative that aimed to clear the conscience and the bowels.

 

Jackson's innovation failed to appeal to the masses, but it caught the attention of Dr. John Kellogg. A renowned surgeon and health guru, Kellogg had transformed the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan into one of America's hottest retreats. Socialites such as the Rockefellers to the Roosevelts flocked to "The San" to receive Kellogg's unorthodox treatments. But shock-therapy sessions (picture John D.) and machine powered enemas (no picture required) were the only items on the agenda. Kellogg also stressed such newfangled ideas as exercise and proper nutrition. It wasn't long before he started serving bran biscuits similar to those of Dr. Jackson---only with the Kellogg name on them. To avoid a law suit, Kellogg changed the name of the cereal by one letter, dubbing it Granola.

 

By 1889, The San was selling 2 tons of granola a week, despite the fact that it was barely edible. The success inspired Dr Kellogg and his brother W. K. to produce more-palatable fare. After six years of experimentation, a kitchen mishap by W. K. yielded the breakfast staple known as cereal flakes.

 

In many ways, the cereal flake is the perfect consumer product. It is easy to produce; easy to sell, and even to this day has a profit margin of 50 percent. And this is where Post comes in.

 

Charles Post marketed Grape-Nuts as curing appendicitis, improving one's IQ, and even "making red blood redder." By 1903 he was clearing $1 million a year.

Amazing Fact Generator

From amazingfactgenerator.com. Check it out and you too can know:

The longest jellyfish on record measured 260 feet and Pope John Paul II was the first Papal Harlem Globetrotter. The team made him an honorary member in 2000 when they visited the Vatican and Elvis Presley's hair was naturally a dirty blond color. He dyed it to look like his idol, Tony Curtis and Technically speaking a male ballet dancer is a ballerino. Now how could you have made it today without those bits of trivia?

Regulations

Did you know it takes 20 years to build a landing strip in an airport? Our clean environment regulations and our safety regulations are destroying the United States. No pulp mills, no steel mills, protecting snails, no air strips. We're killing ourselves.

Report not Make News

If the following is true, the media has lost sight of their place in society. Report not make news.

 

My niece, Katelyn, stationed at Baluud , Iraq was assigned, with others of her detachment, to be escort/guard/ watcher for Martha Raddatz of ABC News as she covered John McCain's recent trip to Iraq . Katelyn and her Captain stood directly behind Raddatz as she queried GI's walking past. They kept count of the GI's and you should remember these numbers. Sh e asked 60 GI's who they planned to vote for in November. 54 said John McCain, 4 for Obama and 2 for Hillary. Katelyn called home and told her Mom and Dad to watch ABC news the next night because she was standing directly behind Raddatz and maybe they'd see her on TV. Mom and Dad of course, called and emailed all the kinfolk to watch the newscast and maybe see Katelyn. Well, of course, we all watched and what we saw wasn't a glimpse of Katelyn, but got a hell'uva view of skewed news. After a dissertation on McCain's trip and speech, ABC showed 5 GI's being asked by Raddatz how they w ere going to vote in November; 3 for Obama and 2 for Clinton . No mention of the 54 for McCain

You can't believe anything Obama and McCain say...

You must remember the public cannot believe anything Obama or McCain say. You can only look at what they do. Go back and look at what George Bush said while he was campaigning and look at what he DID as president. 

 

How do you know a politician is lying; their lips are moving.

Double Standard

Double standard.

 

Recently our local paper had one of those inserts on the subject of entertainment. You know the ones, television schedules and the like. There was a story, no author identified, praising the television show Family Guy. I do not watch the show but the description in the article read a lot like "high school" humor. As the unidentified author described it "humor about bodily emissions." 

 

The anonymous author wrote about an episode that purported to show God as a bearded, white-robed ladies man hitting on a girl at a bar. He lights her cigarette with a bolt of lightening. "Magic fingers," he purrs. But then, to his chagrin an independent second bolt of lightning incinerates her. He summons his son Jesus ("Get the Escalade, we're outta here!") and makes a fast exit.

 

Unless the show's developers, networks broadcasting the show, print media et al are willing to illustrate and write about  Muhammad in similar situations and therefore endure the rioting, property damage, and accompanying death threats by our Muslim friends, I suggest God and Jesus be left out of cartoons and articles.

Republic vs Democracy

The United States is a Republic, not a Democracy.

A republic is a government having a chief of state who is in modern times a president and in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law.

A democracy is government by the people; especially: rule of the majority: a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections.

Death Penalty

The problem with applying the death penalty is human error. In Tennessee we have just sent home a criminal who has spent 22 years on death row. He will be given another trial. Look at all of the death penalty cases that are overturned. Because of judge error, prosecutor error, defense attorney error, police error, et al.

 

Our justice system is set up to convict the people we want to convict and to release those we want released. Guilt and innocence have little to do with the process.

 

If we are to use the death penalty it should be enforced within three months of conviction. If it is not carried out within three months, life without parole should be the default.

Shall Not Be Infringed

With the latest decision on gun ownership based on party lines instead of the Constitution concerns about the right to an abortion being overturned. Have you ever considered how Congress will word a law prohibiting abortion?

The woman who was the claimant in the Roe vs Wade did not have an abortion. The court's decision came to late for her.

The court decided a woman has a "constitutional right" to an abortion for any reason during the first trimester, a "constitutional right" to an abortion for health of the mother during the second trimester and NO "constitutional right" to an abortion for any reason during the last trimester. As you can see it is not a Constitutional issue.

The courts have "made laws" instead of interpreting the Constitution. As you can see by the resulting court decisions it is not a constitutional issue making it a state issue not federal. If Congress ever writes a law imagine how miscarriages will be treated. The ex-mother-to-be could be liable for manslaughter or depraved indifference.

30 years ago, Ohio, approved a law to keep vehicles with wheels larger than a pre-define circumfrance off the sidewalks. The result was kindergarten age kids had to ride their big-wheels in the streets. We have to keep congress out of trying to make decisions. They are not mentally fit for the challenge.

Barack has Rev Wright and Hillary has Bill. Must be frustrating.

Who Permitted the Cole to be Bombed?

Has anyone considered charging the commanding officer of the Cole with incompetence allowing the murder of some of the men under his command who trusted him? In a foreign port he did not have a perimeter established to keep unknown people away from his ship? How stupid can a commander be?

Imagine

Think abut the more than 3/4ths of a trillion dollars spent in Afghanistan and Iraq , that we do not have. Imagine what it could of the positive things we could have done with it. AND more than 4,000 of our military would still be alive and multiple thousands would still have all of the body parts.

Look on the bright side. Our amputee Olympic team will be the best ever.

Qualified to be President?

I heard Clark's comments concerning John McCain. With all of the disagreement maybe someone should explain just what part of being shot down in an airplane qualifies one to be president? What part of being a fighter pilot qualifies one to be president? What part of being a POW and tortured qualifies one to be president.

On the other hand what part of being 1/2 white and 1/2 black qualifies one to be president?

As with ALL retired generals Clark is bored and lonesome. As a general the people around him treated him as if he were a god and he loved it. Today, no one cares if he lives or dies. Must be lonesome. But in this case he is right.

Obama is not qualified to be president and neither is McCain. See what our political parties have stooped to.

But don't forget Harry. No one liked him either.
