White House dismisses Chavez assassination call

What in the crap is Pat thinking? He must have finally lost it. His comments are not what I call Christian, or for that matter helping our cause in the US.

These kind of remarks remind me of Jerry Falwell worried about the Teletubbies being gay, and Oral Roberts wanting a ton of money in what was it, six months or God would take his life? These people _do not_ represent me, and do not represent responsible leadership.

Notable People Who Died of Lung Cancer?

What kind of Stupid idiot would run this down the wire? and Why? Just because Peter Jennings passed away? I am sorry he died, but why doesn’t the Associated Press run an article on Notable People that Died of Cirrhosis? Gunshot Wounds? I don’t remember them running this when Renaldo Benson died on July 1st. (The second on their list). There are lots of others out there too as well as the Notable ones…

I don’t know, this just struck me wrong and seemed tasteless to make this sounds like a Who’s who list. Must be a slow news day at the AP.

The Space Shuttle is Away!

I just watched Nasa TV using realplayer and at 10:39a like clock work, the shuttle took off. That is engineering at it’s best.

Besides the take off, watching the shuttle peal off from the large external tank was amazing. There was a camera attached to the external tank to facilitate seeing the under side of the shuttle as the orange tank fell away.

Congratulations Nasa and Shuttle Crew! Welcome back to space.

Fat Man Walking…

Steven Vaught is walking to work down his weight. I am not talking about just a walk around the block or anything. He is walking across the USA from Southern California to Maine!

He says that he is doing it to get his weight down so he can be happy with himself once again, and get into better shape for his family.

Very commendable! I wish him all the luck…and I may take a page from this and do a little walking myself.
