PILOT HAS MENTAL BREAKDOWN ON FLIGHT

A co-pilot of Air Canada shouting and screaming" I need to talk to you God". He had to be forcibly restrained by tying up his ankles and wrists and handcuffing him to a seat.

The breakdown occured on a flight from Toronto to London, one hour into the flight. They had to make an emergency landing in Ireland where he was taken off the plane and hospitalized.

HAITIANS ARE BEING FORCED TO EAT DIRT.

Haitians are being forced to eat dirt because they can't afford to eat rice, which is 50cents a cup.
They are eating dirt cookies, made up of dirt, water, salt and butter. It is causing stomach upsets.

Nursing mothers are having coliky babies. With the present economy, it does not appear to be correcting itself soon.. The eating of dirt is called geophagy, many people eat clay dirt in America and also eat starch.

Dirt has parasites, so it is not a safe practice, but the people have to eat it in order not to starve to death. The country has not done so well since the US placed their person there. It has gone down hill.

GERALDINE FERRARO ON HILLARY'S TEAM

It is surprising to hear that Geraldine Ferraro is involved with the campaign of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Ferraro knows exactly what Clinton is going through as a woman candidate.

Ferraro was defeated in her run as Vice President to Walter Mondale , by Ronald Reagan and George H W Bush. The main focus was her husband and his tax returns. He would not turn them over. It was a vicious attack and I think that's why the GOP wants Hillary to win the primary.

They are going to be ferocious and attack the character of her husband. But I think Hillary has a tough skin and try to go foward.

WHY IS THERE SO MUCH UNREST IN KENYA ALL OF A SUDDEN ?

Is there some right-wing conspiracy to bring to the world's attention, that Obama's father is Kenyan. I had never heard of Kenya being the head story on the news ahead of Iraq.

Is there some kind of subtle hint that Obama will get caught up in that country's politics, instead of America's terriost situation ?

Obama has spent his life in the U S , not in Kenya. So if there is some kind of overt thing going on to direct our attention to Kenya, Obama is American.

MAXINE WATERS ENDORSES HILLARY CLINTON

Maxine Waters endorsed Hillary Clinton today. I was wondering when Clinton would call in all of her bets. She is calling in the people she has helped these past few years.

So I guess these people will go to all the churches to try to get votes for Clinton. There have been small fundraiser parties here in Los Angeles.

Do you think the people who say they are going to vote for Clinton will do so once behind the Curtain. I think there will be a lot more votes for Obama than people think.

I was hoping Huckabee would come in at second, but he has always been coming in third place. Caroline Kennedy has always kept a low profile, so I was surprised at her endorsement.

MITT ROMNEY IS BUYING CLEAR CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS

It will cost $19.5 billion. Romney's private equity firm, Bain Capitol and Thomas H Lee Partners will buy it in a leveraged buyout plan. Clear Channel is the largest radio station in this country. They own 1,000 AM FM , shortwave radio stations, 12 radio channels on XM, and 30 television stations in the U S.

Clear Channel owns Premiere Radio Network. It is the station of Rush, Glenn Beck, and others. Hannity recently signed on with Clear Channel.

LIZ CHENEY, THE V P'S DAUGHTER HAS JOINED ROMNEY'S CAMPAIGN

Liz Cheney will be a senior foreign policy advisor. She has been a long time employee of the State Department. She had recently been an advisor to Fred Thompson before he stepped down as a candidate.

Romney has also advisors from the Bush white house.

THE DAYS OF REPUBLICAN BACK ROOM DEALS ARE DEAD

In the past, Republicans would meet and they would decide on a person to back and would tell some of the candidates they would not support them with money. That worked in the past, but now we have seen what Lieberman has done and say it isn't working anymore.

There were some candidates who wanted to run but they kept pushing them back, until their time had run out. I think Limbaugh and Bush want Hillary to win the nomination so they can start their attack.

There are many people who will not vote for her and no journalist has asked how she stands on stem cell and abortion. I guess they are saving that for after the primary.

WHEN WILL THE OPPOSITION TO INDIAN GAMING STOP ??

It seems like every election year, there is something on the ballot about re - negotiation of the Indian Gaming agreements. I for one am tired of hearing about it.

The Indians were driven from the Atlantic coast to Oklahoma in the Trail Of Tears .They walked for thousands of miles. Thousands of Indians died and were buried along the way. They were herded onto reservations.

They were forgotten about until they found out how to make money. They started with bingo. Then they graduated on to gaming. I think if a person wants to go down winding dark roads late at night to the top of a mountain with some people who leave the casino with too much to drink, it's o k .

After they were successful in gaming, the large corporations wanted a part of the action. So now the Hotel Corporations are partners with the tribes. The casinos and the card parlors don't want the Tribes to have a monopoly.

A county here in California voted for an increase in taxes after a fire a few years ago to get new trucks and equipment. The money was spent on a new station and salaries for fire and police. Every two or four years they try to get out of our old contracts and up the ante with the tribes.

The bonds that many states are floating are hard to insure, it will probably be the next subprime scandal. I have heard that there are McDonalds on some of the reservations. So now we don't have to worry as much about alcoholism, we have to worry about diabetes and kidney dialysis.

AM I BEING SHUT DOWN ???

I received two calls this morning thanking me for transferring my service from ATandT to Verizon. I had not transferred my service. I called Verizon and they had no record of it. Then I tried calling ATandT and after 20 minutes of voicemail, I was disgusted and hung up.

I am a conspiracy theorist, so I was thinking someone was trying to shut me down. But then I got to thinking, I had used no pornorgraphy or vulgar language on my site. I am really family friendly. I have no idea of how I can straighten this out. You cannot speak to a human these days.

DEFECTIVE ABSENTEE BALLOTS

I was notified today by the Registrar Of Voters that I may have a defective ballot. The ballot printer reported that new equipment might have scored the ballots too deeply before they were folded, causing parts of the ballot to separate upon opening by voters.

I was advised to avoid folding the ballot backward against the folds, as this will likely cause the ballot to tear. It seems that with the length of time between election dates , that all the kinks are ironed out.

WOMAN IN CANADA CURED OF FITS FROM LISTENING TO HIP HOP

Stacy Gayle, a 25 year old bank employee collapsed when a Jamaiian rapper named Sean Paul's music started playing.

Brain surgeons cured her rare condition known as musicogenic epilepsy.

CHRISTIAN BRANDO HOSPITALIZED IN LOS ANGELES

The eldest don of Marlon Brando, Christian, 49, is being treated for pneumonia. He was admitted to Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center on January 11 . There are complications to the pnuemonia, but no details are being released.

ARE THE CLINTONS GOING FOR THE JUGULAR

It seems that this is the case. In Nevada, Bill went to the casinos to press the flesh. And in New York, there are plans for him to go door to door. On Sunday, Hillary will go to the Black churches. This really gets under my skin for them to make this racial. I do not think people should make it so. In New York Bill is reportedly going to go from house to house in the Black community.

GERMANY BANISHES UNRULY KID TO SIBERIA

The delinquent has to fend for himself. He has to dig a toilet, chop wood , and dig a well. He has to do these things to keep warm and to wash up.

The length of stay is nine months. Once he returns to Germany, he will be monitored for two years.

PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD ARE NOT IMPRESSED BY OUR CANDIDATES.

I have read articles that state, the speeches are meaningless and hollow. It is all pomp and circumstance. They promise you everything, without promising you anything.

The following article was very amusing to me.



http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/2/story.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10487453&pnum=0

WHAT HAPPENED TO SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE

It is often identified with the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Thomas Jefferson wrote in a letter to the Dunbury Baptist Association, the phrase " building a wall of separation between church and state.

He believed that government shouldn't meddle in church's affairs. Now since we are in the primaries, candidates are going into churches and disrupting services. I grit my teeth every time this happens. And the ministers do it for a check.

The candidates come in and speak for five minutes and then out the door .

ROBERT JOHNSON TALKS ABOUT OBAMA WHEN HE IS THE ONE WHO BROUGHT SOFT PORN INTO OUR HOMES

Robert Johnson, the former owner of the Black Entertainment Television, is to blame for the rap videos being brought into our homes. They bordered on soft porn. I would tell every parent I knew to block the channel.

The only thing I liked about the channel was the newscasts, and when he sold the station, they did away with it . How can he be so glorified now ,when young kids all over the nation wanted to be like the images they saw on screen.

IS CLINTON CALLING IN ALL BETS ?

When I saw Robert Johnson on television this morning, it came to my mind that Bill is calling in all bets. The people that the president has helped in the Past are going to be called upon to deliver.

The reason that Jackson and Sharpton haven't come out yet , is because they haven't been put on the payroll. I don't think Obama needs them and they know it. But the Clinton' s do.

They are going to split the Democratic vote and put a Republican in the White House. If Obama doesn't win the nomination, these throngs of people will be dissolutioned and not vote at all. It is a no win situation.

ARE THE CLINTONS CALLING IN ALL BETS ???

When I saw Robert Johnson on the news talking about what Obama has done in the past, that came to my mind.

VINCE FOSTER SAID, "BEFORE WE CAME HERE, WE THOUGHT OF OURSELVES AS GOOD PEOPLE"

Foster was born in Hope, Arkansas and a neighbor of Bill Clinton. He was a member of the Rose Law Firm, and the head of the Arkansas Bar Association Committtie that oversaw legal aid.

He was described as tall, with impeccable manners and a formal person. Foster was elegant in tailored suits and soft- spoken. He was named one of " The Best Lawyers in America." He was quite upset and had bad depression and anxiety over hearings and investigations in Washington.

Foster also said " The Wall Street Journal editors lie without consequence".

I think Foster thought he would make a difference in Washington. I was very impressed with the cabinet that Clinton chose . They were the best that I had ever seen. They were young and gifted.

GORDON BROWN, PRIME MINISTER OF BRITAIN,WANTS TO REMOVE ORGANS FROM DEAD CITIZENS

He is supporting a group wanting to remove organs without consent. He wants the system to begin this year. This would save thousands of lives.

If a person did not opt out, their organs would automatically be removed. More than 8000 patients are waiting for an organ, and more than 1000 a year die because they did not receive one.

This plan is modelled after Spain's, and they have the largest number of organ donors in the world.

PHILLIP AGEE, RENEGADE CIA AGENT DEAD AT AGE OF 72

The former Central Intelligence undercover officer was disillusioned with the U S government, and the policy with Latin American governments.

This spurred him to name 250 agents and reveal CIA secrets. In his 1975 book " Inside The Company: CIA Diary" Agee detailed the inside of U S spy operations around the world, but mostly in Latin America. He was stationed there for eight years in the 60's. His book was published in 20 languages, & it included a 22 page list of 250 agents.

Agee said he was acting as a dissident and not an act of espionage. The government branded this act as treasonist. In 1979 the Secretary of State Cyrus Vance stripped him of his passport. In 1982 Congress passed the "Intelligence Identities Protection Act" - making it illegal to disclose names of covert CIA officers.

Agee wrote two more books, "Dirty Work: The CIA in Western Europe". He also published
"On The Run" in 1987. In this book he described how the CIA campaigned to silence him.Agee was born in Tacoma, Florida. He studied law at the Univ. of Florida and graduated from Notre Dame.

He received many death threats and moved from country to country. His residence was in Hamburg, Germany but he kept a flat in Havana.

This agents plight reminds me of Valerie Plame.

I AM WONDERING HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL ADD OBAMA'S PICTURE TO THE HALL OF FAME ?

I am talking about on the wall in their living room ? Next to the pictures of Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, Bill Clinton and Robert Kennedy. I think Obama could make it, but I don't see anyone else that can stand the test.

I remember many homes in the south had a portrait hanging in the living room. I guess the people saw in them a hope that is long gone. Obama has stirred the people up in a frenzy we haven't seen in a long time.

With all the sniping and backbiting that is going on, no wonder people don't tell the truth in the exit polls. I still don't know if I will vote in November or who I will vote for. It will be either Huckabee or Obama.

DOES RON PAUL'S SUPPORTERS THINK HE IS A JUDAS !!!

Ron Paul distanced himself from many of his supporters. He said he couldn't tell them what to say and didn't believe in the conspiracy theorist's, and their 9/11 views . They have raised lots of money for him.

I wonder if they will withdraw support from him or will just take a step back and see. The other candidates were just smirking at Paul and Romney especially was calling him a looney-tune at the debate.

Even McCain had a hard time answering the questions. He kept pausing, and acted like he was out of it. It seemed like he couldn't process the question. There was a delay.

A BIBB COUNTY JUDGE HAS ORDERED A FAMILY TO MOVE GRAVES

These are civil war-era gravesites. Superior Court Judge Tilman E "Tripp" 111 gave the family until January 14th to remove the graves. Joseph Follendores and two sons buried there, lived between 1818-1882. The Follendores had a 600 acre produce farm. They were German immigrants.

Moon Family Properties is developing a 1,000 acre residential and commercial site on the former farm. The court will remove the bodies on January 15th, if the family doesn't before that time.

Moon Family Properties will pay the cost of moving the graves and the grave markers. Genealogists and Civil War buffs are very disturbed by this.

DENZEL SAYS EASTWOOD IS HIS HERO

Clint Eastwood is the role model. He is the guy. That's what Denzel Washington says. Denzel is interested in being and actor-director at this time. He loves working behind the camera.

THE WEATHER CHANNEL HAS BEEN PUT UP FOR SALE

The network is for sale along with 9 newspapers. The selling price is 5 billion dollars.

NEW JERSEY REQUIRES HIV TESTING FOR PREGNANT WOMEN

HIV testing will be a standard part of prenatal care. Unless they refuse, women will be tested by law. This law will try to prevent infection in new born babies.

SUBSCRIBERS TO THE GOLF CHANNEL SHOULD MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD

Golf Channel's anchor Kelly Tilghman said on air Friday that golf's young players should "lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley". This brought an outpour of disgust for her , and the channel which let her continue the day. She also broadcast all day on Saturday.

There are calls for her dismissal or at least suspension. The channel has said nothing , it is showing tolerance for her actions. There should at least be cancellations of the Golf Channel until they take some kind of action. Tiger has given the field of golf a new respect around the world. She is now trying to offer an apology, but cannot reach Tiger. I do not think he should accept her apology, and should demand her dismissal from the network.

GERMANY COMPARES OBAMA TO LINCOLN AND KENNEDY

Germany is in love with Barak Obama. They believe he will bring a change to American Politics and if elected, it will not be business as usual. There have been so many attacks against Obama. It calls to mind the "Obama Girls" I think it was meant as a slur and to drag him down.

Look at what it did to Harold Ford of Tennessee. They said he was at a party with blonde girls and he lost the election. Obama is the headline in Germany as "Lincoln, Kennedy and Obama".

I have read newspapers from all over the world and they speak warmly of Obama and wish there will be a change in U S politics. The world is looking for a change.

SOME OF THESE CANDIDATES ARE GOING TO EAT CROW

Some of these candidates are going to eat crow. And they are going to go home with their tail tucked between their legs. They are predicting which one of their rivals are going to drop out.
I guess they are psychic.

I don't think they should be so cocky this early in the game. Now the claws are going to come out. It seems like they are dismissing Obama , and think his winning was just a fluke. And they also dismissed the Iowans saying they were not sophisticated or educated enough.

I hope they go down in flames. They believe their own yes men. Some of these guys are muckrakers. I can't say they believe their own press, because the press is calling it like it is.ow it's do or die time and the claws are coming out.

BEST SPEECHES I HAVE EVER HEARD : OBAMA IS ONE

The best speeches I have ever heard are:

John F. Kennedy

John Doggett , from the University of Texas. At the Clarence Thomas hearings

Mario Cuomo, Democratic National Convention

Martin Luther King, March on Washington

Barak Obama, Iowa Caucus

These speeches made me sit up on the edge of my seat. I wrote John Doggett and asked where he had been all of my life. He sent me an invitation to hear him speak at Claremont Mens College.

I guess since Mario Cuomo was from the East coast, I had heard very little about him.

Martin Luther King's speech was legendary.

And Obama can just go on and on and on and does not need any notes. He was electric.

John F Kennedy's Ask what you can do for your country....

CLINTON NEEDS A MAKEOVER

Does Clinton need a makeover ? I think so. I have seen this same hairdo for the last twenty years. She did try to change her wardrobe but the press said she showed too much cleavage. I believe there are many designers who could design her a wardrobe for the campaign trail.

All she has to do is call them . People such as Vera Wang, etc. There are designers who would love to give her a makeover. Nothing drastic, but just a subtle touch. We have seen the same pantsuits for the last twenty years, now we need something new.

Maybe she needs a new 700 dollar haircut.

DO WE WANT TWO FAMILIES TO RULE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE FOR 24 YEARS ???

Do we want that or do we want a change? If we elect Clinton this time, that will be exactly what will happen. She is brilliant and strong, but I think she needs new advisors. I think she still has the same advisors from the last 20 years.

She has to make a new approach and get some new advisors. Some college age kids. Someone with new fresh ideas. Last time the president had Dick Morris and George Stephanopoluis. I think the people she had on stage with her should have been farther away from her.

EDWARDS A SORE LOSER ??

Is Edwards a sore loser ? He did not acknowledge Obama as the winner of the caucus. He just kept talking about his going foward to New Hampshire. Edwards thought it was a slam dunk. I think he was in shock. Every time I think about him, I think about his 700 dollar haircut.

My choice was Biden and Huckabee. And at least Huckabe won. Clinton was just too brash for me. I know she turned off the evangelicals also.

WOW !!! OBAMA IS A GREAT ORATOR . HE BEAT ALL ODDS

Obama beat all odds this evening. Clinton thought for sure she was going to win. I think having her husband help her really hurt. I guess he thought it would help too. But I think Democrats couldn't get it out of their minds, the picture of Bush Sr. and Clinton working together.

We were supposed to get change when Nancy Pelosi and the gang went to Washington but nothing happened. Only the minimum wage bill got passed. That' why I think we are going to have a trend where the candidates are going to be younger and younger.


The evangelicals do not want a woman in the foreground. They want them in the background. Clinton ran her campaign like Rove was advising her. Her staff accused Obama of drug sells and his education in Europe.

She hurt herself in the past with things like "stand by your man" and "baking cookies". The Whitewater case didn't help. She was too strong of a character. She is a brilliant woman. She worked on a health care bill, to be rejected.

But when she kept saying she had experience, she didn't have privy to all records and was not in all meetings. She could have gotten a security clearance, but maybe she never asked. She is going to hurt herself again by saying that Obama is unelectable.

SHOCKED AT FOOD PRICES THIS WEEK

Last week when I went to the market , the oranges were 50 cents each. This week when I went to the market, they were 75 cents each. So I guess next week they will be one dollar each.

Milk is 5 dollars a gallon. And the eggs are almost 2 dollars a dozen. I guess we will not get a break this year since we have all the bad weather now.

But things are not that bad for everyone. Last week a friend sold 10 BMW's . I guess we are getting mixed messages from the economy. People are buying like there is no tomorrow.

CONDUCT YOUR OWN POLL !!!

During the holidays, I got a chance to talk to friends all across the country. I asked them all whether they were going to vote for the two front runners, and they said no.

They said they were tired of people using mind control on them suggesting to them who to vote for. It seems like every day there is some kind of poll conducted.

There are polls from the newspapers and various organizations slanting the results, so that the public doesn't think any of them have any creditability .

A HEALTHCARE PLAN BILL DOWN THE PIKE !!! I DON'T THINK SO !!!

There will not be a healthcare plan. You need 58 Democrats and 2 Republicans, and the Dems will not get any Republicans to cooperate.

All the candidates are promising everything , but it will not come to be. The Republicans will not allow governmment to interfere with business.
