The Tale of Two Storms

Chris, Charlotte, Maeve and I are off to Myrtle Beach tomorrow for a 10 day vacation. Chris has been going to Myrtle beach her whole life and two of her trips were delayed because of Hurricaines. This can't possibly happen a third time.

Are we nuts??? Don't answer that, we are going anyway.

Darwin of the Year Award Goes To....

The Darwin of the year award has got to go to this moron. The idiot was critically injured when he decided to go kite surfing during Tropical Storm Fay. When do you think he thought this was a bad idea? Was it when he slammed into the ground or when he slammed into the building. Hmmmm

Gun Toutin Teachers

I've had many people tell me in recent years that it is the our Constitutional Right to bare arms. People have even told me I'm UN-American to even consider gun laws that limits use. I wonder what these same people feel about this story.

According to the Houston Chronicle, "A tiny Texas school district may be the first in the nation to allow teachers and staff to pack guns for protection when classes begin later this month".

Can you imagine if this happen in a town like Colonie or Niskayuna? What is very puzzling about this thought is that people would be in a hugh uproar. The press would be going nuts, people (some who even have guns) would be protesting. Pandamonimum at school board meeting. It would make Spitzer's love fest look like a boring Hallmark Movie.

And then there would be me who would wonder why people are bitching...Isn't the right to bare arms protected by the constitution, so why should it stop with teachers?

This takes the Cake

Ok...I know for the past 7.5 years, I've said that Dubya is a moron, but I think this article in the Houston Chronical takes the cake and proves that George W. Bush is a very, very stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, did I say STUPID, PERSON. According to the article, birth control is now considered abortion because "most birth control pills, the Plan B emergency contraceptive and intrauterine devices as forms of abortion because they prevent the development of fertilized eggs into fetuses." Oh really, so does that mean when a women gets her tubes tied or a man uses a condom or gets a vasectomy he is committing abortion?? The article only states the pill, but my guess is if the pill is wrong then the tubes tied, condom and vasectomy are coming.

I officially want to thank all the people out there who voted for this moron. Because this moron is president, my wife and I are now considered baby killers!!!

Thank you, so much!!!

The Definition of Courage

I drove by a VW Bug on I-90 in Albany today and on the side of it was the web address www.fagbug.com. So when I got home I decided to see what this site was all about.

The site is about a Albany women who was victimized by a hate crime and has turned that awful experience into a nationwide crusade "to raise awareness about hate crimes and homophobia in our society, to give a voice for those who are silent, to inspire others to take a stand against bullies and to be an example of how to overcome obstacles in bringing a creative project to life."

I'm speechless by the amount of courage this women has towards this cause and I can only hope Charlotte and Maeve will someday have as much courage as her to stand up for what is right.

Check out the site...what this women is doing is remarkable.
