SOME WILL BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT A STIMULUS CHECK

There are those who will do anything to get that 300 dollars. I think this is a scam to find extortionists, sex offenders, felons, wanted FBI persons. This is similar to the police sting that tells people to come in and claim a big screen tv.

People who have avoided paying taxes and people who have not paid taxes in years will suddenly have to pay back taxes. You cannot get the check until you file. Even if you think you cannot qualify.

Maybe the tax coffers will go up into trillons and the national debt will be paid off.

IS CLINTON A CHAMELEON ???

Is Hillary Clinton a Chameleon ? It seems like she is having so many mood swings. Is this the way she is going to run the White House ? Last week she was cooing at Obama and saying it was a pleasure to run in a campaign in opposition to him. The next day she was ranting and raving and waving papers and saying "shame on you, Obama".

My sister was saying to me how impressed she was with Hillary on the Tavis Smiley Forum, and then the next day to come out like gangbusters has me confused. She has one persona when she is one on one ,and another when she is in a large rally. It seems like she turns on hot and cold at the drop of a dime.

I just don't know how she would be in the White House, from day to day. And the " Dream Team " that Bill Clinton had, has disappeared. They are not supporting Hillary. What happened to them? Are they afraid to publicly come out and endorse her? Or are they in Obama's camp?

PROBIOTICS MAY BE FATAL FOR PEOPLE WITH PANCREATITIS

Dutch researchers say the "good" bacteria found in probiotics yogurts and drinks could be fatal to persons with severe pancreatitis.

24 volunteers died in a probiotic group study.

WOULD LOVE TO SEE HILLARY CLINTON IN A HOT CHILI PEPPER CONTEST IN TEXAS

That would be wonderful to see Clinton in a chili pepper eating contest with the champ in Texas. Then we could give her the cred that she talks about. She is tough and strong. Everyone knows that. But this would take it up another level.

I think at her best when she is in a town forum or breakfast. It's up close and personal. Also she could have Chelsea there . I don't think she should bring on the tears on though. She knows now that Bill is not the best thing for her now. He could be seen but not heard.

A HISTORIAN IN BRITAIN CALLS THE QUEEN "A POORLY EDUCATED HOUSEWIFE"

Dr. Starkey hosts a tv series on Royal history. He is a historian who has caused a stir in Britain by comparing Queen Elizabeth 11 with Adolf Hitler's Nazi propaganda chef.

He also said he thinks"she's got elements a bit like (Josef) Goebbels in a attitude to culture". Starkey called the late Princess Diana " a sad hysterical self-abusing extraordinary destructive".

He recieved a CBE from the Queen. Nevertheless, he was livid about her lack of interest in the 1500 year Royal line when he showed her around a musuem he had curated about Elizabeth 1.

When shown around the exibition her only comment was that one of the objects was hers. Starkey stated "if she'd look after them, she would put in place better arrangements for their care, but he supposed it was the absence of serious education" .

Mr. Starkey suggested the Queen's concept of Monaco had been framed only on the reins of her father, George VI ,and grandfather, George V and very little before that. In a 50s broadcast, the Queen said she didn't feel like her forebears,who weren't blessed with husband or children,who ruled as a despot and was never able to travel.

The original Elizabeth, like the present Queen, came to the throne at the age of 25. But Starkey said she had been 20 times as well educated and spoke five or six languages. He stated Prince Charles might be the Monarchy's best hope for survival.

AETNA INSURANCE PLANS TO DROP COVERAGE OF ANESTHESIA USED FOR COLONOSCOPIES

The drug is "PROPOFOL". Aetna said moderate sedation works just as well and does not require an anesthesiologist that can cost up to 1,000.

The doctors usually decides whether to use propofol or moderate sedation. April 1st is when the cut backs start. The doctors in New Jersey have not ruled out a law suit. Patients prefer propofol because of the few side effects.

Humana and Wellpoint is in step with Aetna, but United Healthcare covers propofol. Thousands of scans are being delayed. The reason is because a reactor in Canada is shut down. Over 50, 000Canadians are having delays in treatments.

The United States will not build a reactor so the radioactive materials are so dearly needed.
The nuclear society is looking for alternative tests.

OBAMA SHOULD NOT AGREE TO ANY NEW DEBATES

If I were Obama, I would not agree to any more debates at all. Especially since Clinton is saying that his speeches have no substance and are empty. In every city, she just harps on his speeches,where is the Clinton machine?

Why has all of the people that were in the war room deserted the Clinton's ? Did they run them away ? I see them on talk shows saying how they are doing everything wrong. I think the Clinton's burnt their bridges behind them.

In all of the Bernstein's and Woodward's books, they have the real deal. They know the Clinton's like a book, and can help you understand them.

I was so caught up in the Clinton's presidency because the Governor's mansion was just a few blocks from my house when I was growing up.

I KNEW THESE POLITICIANS WERE BEING DISHONEST

I knew these politicians were being dishonest. They are coming out with their true feelings. They should before they are exposed. That's why I say that the exit polls aren't accurate.

If we could see their voting ballots after they vote, everyone would be shocked. These politicians in Georgia were just being honest. They are scared. And when they run again, these young people might vote them out. They want to support Obama but they owe Clinton.

They can't stand up to their convictions. They are playing a game and straddling the fence. I am rooting for Huckabee to stay in there. I really want him to win. Many undecided people will just not vote at all or they might just write in the person they want. I'll bet Maxine Waters would support Obama if she didn't owe Clinton.

I remember the year we wrote in the name of Pat Paulson. I would like for Jerry "moonbeam"Brown to be president, but I know the party will not allow it. Even Kinky might have had some new ideas. We are tired of the smoke filled back room dealings.

WHAT ARE THE ODDS IN LAS VEGAS FOR THE CANDIDATES !!!

I would like to know the odds in Las Vegas for the candidates. It seems that everyone has their own polls and can tweak them anyway they want.

I would have more confidence in the odds in Vegas.

POLAROID WILL CEASE PRODUCTION OF IT'S INSTANT FILM

Polaroid will close down factories in the Netherlands,Massachusetts, and Mexico. There will be 450 jobs cut


Fuji Film will continue to make instant film. Polaroid will concentrate now on printers and digital photo album products.

NAFTA SUPER HIGHWAY

The Nafta Super Highway will span from Mexico to Canada. It will cost 183 billion dollars from us taxpayers. A customs facility is being built in Kansas City. This will be a merger of three Nafta countries. Mexico, Canada, and the United States of America into a North American Union.

The borders between our countries will be erased , from the Mexican Border at Laredo, Texas to Duluth, Minnesota at the Canadian border.

I for one do not like the idea of building a highway three footballs wide in our greatlands. It will destroy it with litter and trash. The inspections should be given at the docks, not in Kansas City.Our citizens have to go to a foreign country to see trees.

The only trees we have are those set aside into parks and they are being continually burnt down.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE BLACK MEDIA

Many people have underestimated the Black media. But they should not be ignored. They can organize the grassroots people in a matter of minutes. Remember the Jena 6 ? I saw all of those buses rolling into Jena, and I said "wow".

I was in awe as to how these young persons were so effective and organized. And I have to give respect to the radio personalities. They have a large following. I believe that in this age of technology, they can get more people together than the "Million Man March" "and "The March on Washington".

And if the "Super Delegates" are put into action, this will be the biggest turnout of people in history. And they will march on Washington.

CLINTON SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN RECORD

Everyday that Clinton speaks, she talks about Obama's speeches. She needs to give us a break. One thing for sure is that Bill has calmed down a bit. Obama would have as much experience as Clinton does if he was her age. She has twenty more years of age on him.

If I were Obama, I would not give her eight more debates, and that is what she is asking for . She is dismissing him as though he is an empty suit. She knows she can't beat him giving a speech, so she attacks him saying they are empty and have no substance.

WILL CLINTON GET THE ENDORSEMENT OF THE CTA ?

The California Teachers Association's endorsement was trounced by the rank-and-file at a meeting at the Los Angeles Bonaventure Hotel. The Obama supporters were not going to be silenced , they kicked the board to the curb.

So the announcement has been put off until April. We'll see what kind of strong arm tactics they will use on the membership.

CALIFORNIA IS PLANNING TO BAN FISHING OFF THE CENTRAL COAST OF CALIFORNIA

This is a plan to protect marine life for future generations. There will be 29 marine protected areas. The Fish and Game Commission has been in negotiations for the past two years with environmental scientists, fishermen, and residents. They want to save the ocean from overfishing.

IS BILL O'REILLY GETTING A BAD FEELING?

Bill O'Reilly said he thinks if the 'super-delegates' choose a Democrat for the nomination , the people will tear down the convention center. I think I will agree with him. If there is a tie on the votes and the delegates, the party leaders, Congress ,and former Presidents will select one.

The people have worked so hard this time. I have not seen anything like this since the early 70's. There are a lot of young people involved now and they are unpredictable. I think there will not only be a disturbance at the Convention, but all across the United States.

The young people will not take it lying down like 2004 in Florida. I hope a wise decision will be made with the nomination.

IS CLINTON WAITING FOR AL GORE AND TIPPER TO ENDORSE HER

Al Gore has not come out and endorsed anyone. I guess we can take a cue from when he was running for president, he didn't ask for their help. Since Gore is big on the environment and won the Nobel Peace Prize, he would be a good draw.

Maybe he will come out in November saying who he would like in the White House. People are now seeing that an endorsement doesn't mean anything.

MACY'S WILL CUT 2,300 JOBS

Macy's will combine three regional divisions and cut 2,300 management jobs. This will reduce costs and boost sales. They will close regional headquarters in Minnesota, St. Louis, and Seattle. They will absorb them into New York, Atlanta and San Francisco.

DID BILL GET CARRIED AWAY ON HIS ATTACKS ON OBAMA

Hillary said on the "Early Show" that Bill got carried away on his attacks of Obama. I could not believe I saw a person with such anger and venom in his mouth.

Then I said to myself, so this is the person that has been described by his former colleagues as a despicable person. I said this cannot be the same person that I had gone back to Little Rock for the "Little Rock 9 anniversaries" and to the library.

When his friends left his cabinet and were on t v saying things about him, I said they were traitors and liars. But I saw the movie "Primary Colors, which was based loosely on his life and I understood what other people knew then.

I guess I was charmed by his infectious smile. Now he looks like a bitter old man. I was in "The friends of Bill" , they sent me the tape about his early life, buttons and posters. Even his photographer sent me pictures of the family and the State Dinners.

WHY THE RIGHT WING RADIO SHOW HOSTS DO NOT WANT MC CLAIN OR OBAMA

I think the the reason the right wing talk show hosts do dot want McClain or Obama , is because they might shut down Guantanamo, and shut down Halliburton and Blackwater.

At this time they do not know what McClain or Obama may do, with McClain reaching across the aisle. With Clinton and Romney, things might have gone business as usual, but McClain and Obama they might fold under pressure from the liberals.

"FAIR AND BALANCED" SHOULD BE "HOME OF THE MAVERICKS"

Why does Fox News hire these people who have fallen from grace? It seems that their analysts have had a fall from grace or some kind of disgrace or scandal associated with them. William Bennett, Oliver North, Newt Gingrich, Dick Morris, Robert Novak, Bill O'Reilly. Hannity is a lamb compared to the others, and people were all up in arms a couple of years ago about his views.

WHY HILLARY WON CALIFORNIA

I think Hillary won in California because the Latinos think she will be favorable to them with the Immigration Bill. They know Bill Clinton and his record, and I think they will take a chance on Hillary.

Obama is new and they don't know how he would fight for them. But the Democrats have had time to do something, and they have done nothing. So I think they have taken a gamble.

CHRYSLER SHUTS DOWN 4 PLANTS

Chrysler has announced it will shut four plants down due to a dispute with a parts supplier. Wall Street stocks dropped as a result. The closures will be in Illinois, Delaware, Michigan and Ohio. This will affect about 10,500 employees.

DOES SENATOR CRAIG THINK THE OVERTURNING OF HIS CHARGES MAKE EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT ?

I don't think so. He is fighting very hard to clear his name of a misdemeanor conviction. He has spent tens of thousands of dollars to fight the charges. He
was arrested in a sex sting at the Minneapolis St. Paul Airport.

He has another charge of disorderly conduct. He is trying to get that overturned also. I don't think he will be welcomed back in the circles in Washington with open arms.

THE AMERICAN RED CROSS IS CUTTING A THIRD OF JOBS AT HEADQUARTERS

At the national headquarters of the American Red Cross in Washington, D C . The move will eliminate a thousand jobs and a $200 million deficit within two years. The charity's board of governors gave general approval to the cutbacks in January.

The Red Cross is first to respond to disasters. It is a 128 year old organization.

WILL ALCATRAZ BE TURNED INTO A GLOBAL PEACE CENTER ?

The City of San Francisco has a proposal, ballot measure C, that wants the city to acquire Alcatraz from the United States government and turn it into a Global Peace Center.



Alcatraz is often referred to as "the Rock", being on a chunk of land in the San Francisco Bay. It is famous as the site of a Civil War fortress, military prison, and maximum security federal prison.



It is also known as the site of the 10 month American Indian occupation from 1969-1971. Alcatraz gets about 1.4 million visitors a year. Al Capone was once a prisoner .
