TODAY'S BIRTHDAY BOYS

Today August 25

The AYCU site wishes a happy birthday to both Sean Connery and director Tim Burton.

First, Sir Sean Connery. The original James Bond is 76 years young this day. Mr. Connery has taken a hiatus from acting in pursuit of Scottish politics, and independence. Sean will be remembered as 007, but he also did good in The Untouchables, Finding Forrester, The Hunt For Red October, The Rock, and Finding Forrester. Happy Birthday Mr. Sean.

Second, Tim Burton. You gotta love the guy who can go from dark movies like Batman, Sleepy Hollow, and Edward Scissorhands, into James & The Giant Peach, Nightmare Before Christmas, and even a Willy Wonka remake. Tim is an interesting director. Happy birthday, Tim.

'World Trade Center' Review

Rarely will I pay $8 or more to see a movie in the theaters instead of waiting for it to be on DVD. However, now is not one of those times.

World Trade Center is worth the money and time. It's not escapist crap or touchy feely stuff, it's serious with its moments of humanity.

We know what happens, 9/11 thousands work at or near the World Trade Center, and this story is about a few of them.....

We meet New York Port Authority Sergeant John McLaughlin, a 20 year vet of the department. McLoughlin goes to work at his HQ on Manhattan after glancing at his wife and 4 children. He leaves home before 4 am to get into the city.

McLoughlin is played well by Nicolas Cage, whom some wrote off for his 4 or 5 Jerry Bruckheimer films, and yes even The Lord of War. Cage gives a good performance as a hardened cop.

However, this cop and Officer Will Jimeno, played by The Shield's Michael Pena, are among those sent into hellstorm, that day. Jimeno regularly guarded the NYC PA Bus Terminal, and when not there is with his wife Allison, 5-months pregnant. All begins like a normal day.

Then the shadows of Flight 11, the first airliner fly over NYC. We never see the planes grotesque kamikaze dives into the Towers, but see it on footage from that day. The rest of the Towers shots are CGI. We see office workers for the PA, in the Towers shaken by a boom and rattling. They think it's an accident. We never see Plane 2, which is dismissed by the cops as rumors, but then we see the results.....

The cops commandeer a bus, with dozens of others and head to the World Trade Center. Racing alongside fire trucks, police cars, and other emergency vehicles, the rescuers head to what is supposed to be a hypothetical scenario. The Towers are now ablaze, after the attacks. Now the film enters into all too real events.....

They see people jumping to their deaths, they are inside and see the burst water mains, shattered windows inside the underground mall between the towers, and the wounded inside the lobbies. These cops went from regular hardened officers into jarred and very very alert humans.

Then at 9:59 am, The South Tower comes down ontop of them and hundreds of others....... We see them die, right? No. McLoughlin and Jimeno live through the 1st and 2nd collapses, trapped under rubble, with internal bleeding. A rookie, Dominick Pezzulo (forgive me for spelling) is trapped, but he is crushed after the North Tower collapses shifting rubble onto him and his 2 living partners. Pezzulo, played too briefly by Jay Hernandez, is killed. Now, Jimeno and McLoughlin are not just fighting off pain and discomfort, but also trying to muster the will to live.

Back at home, in Goshen, NY and in New Jersey, we focus on the McLoughlin and Jimeno families. We see one wife, trying to be a rock, but cracking under the strain. Maria Bello does a great job as Donna McLoughlin. She is trying to calm other EMS and Cops wives, but herself is privately fearful for John's life. Then we see Allison Jimeno, very well portrayed by Maggie Gyllenhaal. The same Maggie who made statements on 9/11 that were taken many ways, but is nonetheless a good actress. We see a pregnant Mrs. Jimeno starting to panic and then accept the fact that her husband is gone....... Both actresses portrayed a microcosm of the lives permanently altered that day.....

Bravo, ladies. Very well done.

Meanwhile, John and Will keep talking and keep recollecting on their families and their jobs. Both struggle to live. They were both trapped inside the rubble of Ground Zero for well over 12 hours. However, the NYPD and FDNY try and get them out. They are helped by civilians and free-lancers who offer to help. One free-lancer is a financial worker, Phil Karnes, who is also an ex US Marine. Karnes, maybe a real character or a compilation of other real life and rumored rescuers and saints on that day. However, Karnes is portrayed by Michael Shannon, usually in lighter roles or supporting roles as a goof or oddball. Here, Shannon is all business as the divinely led Marine, that's right, he's a Christian who prays before heading from Connecticut to NYC, in full uniform......

McLoughlin and Jimeno are rescued, they were the 18th and 19th persons out of 20 total that lived through both Tower Collapses and the other buildings. Close to 2700 were not so lucky.

World Trade Center was directed by Oliver Stone, who omits sketchy black and white documentary style shots, political overtones, and outright conspiracy theories. There are plenty of those on 9/11, but Mr. Stone does a good job of leaving those out. Stone did a good job in changing gears from serious and sometimes overdramatized speculations into pure filmmaking, like he did with Wall Street and Platoon.

In WTC are also good performances by Ned Eisenberg, Stephen Dorff, and Jude Ciccollela (Mike Novick on 24) as PAPD and NYPD Officers. Jude is shown as entering the WTC melee in a nice blue cap and white shirt, then he's seen later covered in the blood of others and in dust. The head cop is shaken. Stephen Dorff does a good job as a tired yet vigilant NYPD ESU Officer Strauss. And yes, Stone favorite Frank Whaley appears as a former paramedic (his license lapsed, no malpractice) who helps Jimeno and McLoughlin. And since we're on 24 actors, Roger Cross, aka Curtis has a minute as Jimeno's doctor after the 2 cops are pulled alive.

WTC is a good way to spend your time. By no means does it get too cheesy or too convoluted, but it does show just a small part of the lives affected by America's deadliest terrorist act, ever. It will stir up emotions you thought dormant since 5 years ago and takes you back to that day. This is a 'Never Forget' type picture, minus any stereotypes or overt flag waving (minus Marine Karnes).

I dunno if this will get Oscars, but it's worth a watch. Not bad for Oliver Stone's first ever non R-rated theatrical release.

World Trade Center is not a film to forget.

NOW, This is a hero

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060814/ap_on_re_us/attacks_hero_found_2

Sounds like stuff right out of the movies or a novel, right? Retired US Marine dons the uniform, and full survival gear to dig people out of a collapsed building. Not fiction, this is the literal truth.

This hero helped get Officer Will Jimeno and Sergeant John McLoughlin of the NY NJ Port Authority Police, out of the collapsed World Trade Center. Both were pinned under rubble for hours, talking to keep each other alive.

This Marine is loosely portrayed in the World Trade Center film by Oliver Stone.

Have we forgotten too soon?

Ted Kennedy: London Plot is Bush's Fault

Ted Kennedy, barely a few hours after the thwarted London attacks said that terrorism increases were due to George W Bush's policies. Kennedy must have forgotten to mention the following that were Bush's fault also.....

1979- Iranian ISLAMOFASCISTS that later formed Hezbollah took the US Embassy, holding 53 Americans hostage for 444 Days. President Jimmy Carter figured destabilizing the shah was a good idea. Letting a country with billions of barrels of oil go fundamentalist was a good idea, right? Wrong. Operation Eagle Claw was a failure and we lost 5 Americans trying to get the hostages out. Only when Reagan took office did the hostages get out, despite lengthy negotiations with terrorists.

1982- Hezbollah bombs the US Embassy in Beirut, killing dozens. That had to be Bush's fault, even though he was in the oil business in West Texas, thousands of miles away.

1983- the US Marine Barracks are bombed by a Hezbollah suicide truck bomber, killing 241 Marines and military personnel. Across town, the French Barracks are also bombed, killing over 40 Foreign Legionnares (these guys are the toughest of the French Army).

1984- US Embassy Annex was bombed, killing 20 or so Americans, wounding dozens. That same year, a Royal Jordanian Airlines flight was hijacked to Beirut. Only after the Hezbollah backed jihadists tortured and murdered 2 US Air Marshals.

1985- TWA Flight 847 Athens to Rome was hijacked by Hezbollah, taking the plane to Beirut and Algiers. During the stop in Beirut, US Navy Diver Robert Stethem was tortured and killed by the Hezbollah hijackers. Though, Stethem volunteered to be a hostage, and rather he get killed than a civilian. He was shot and dumped on the tarmac.

1985- The Achille Lauro ocean liner hijacked by the Abu Abbas Group, Islamofascists also, and shot and killed 69 year old NY Jewish man Leon Klinghofer. Now, surely Klinghofer provoked them on Bush's orders, right? Wrong. Abbas and his men were about to escape on an Air Egypt Flight when the boat docked in Alexandria, and the plane was diverted to Italy by US Navy Fighters (on orders of President Reagan, executed by Colonel Oliver North). The Italians took the terrorists into custody, but let them go to avoid further terrorist attacks.

1985- fall- Italy did not avoid terrorism like they thought, as another group shot up airline ticket counters at the Rome International Airport and in Vienna at the same time.

Let's not forget the hostage taken in Beirut either, those were all Bush's doing also.... Ted.

-William Buckley, US CIA Station chief, tortured and killed in Beirut in 1984, body dumped infront of the US embassy annex.

-Colonel William Higgins- US Marine colonel with UN Peacekeeping mission taken in 1988, killed early 1990- tortured then hanged.

-Others like Terry Anderson, lived, but were held for almost 6-7 years in captivity.

I suppose that was all Bush's fault too.

Funny, when the terrorists were out on a killing spree in the Clinton Administration, Ted was quiet as a church mouse. When the other party gets into office, it's all false rage. Ted, why don't you sober up and wake up. Terrorists don't need any reason to kill, they prefer excuses.

IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, WHAT WILL YOU DO?

OK, if 9/11 or worse occurs again, what will you do?

Will you support the President, faults or no faults, and pray for his decision making?
OR will you go skeptic/conspiracy theory driven crank, even if the death and destruction is shown live on TV, bodies and all?

Will you cry and stammer?
OR will you sneer and just coldly justify what happened?

Will you pray to God as you know Him?
OR will you curse God and reiterate how fake he is?

Would you back the military if we lose more lives than before?
OR will you protest regardless of the hurt inflicted on the civilized world?

Will you remember that day?
OR will you forget like you did before?

What will you do?

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES

Sadly, not only are people acting like 9/11 never happened. 30 percent of Americans, in a survey cannot tell you WHAT DAY 9/11 happened on, the year, the times, or what happened.

These stupid bastards should be ashamed of themselves. How do you not know when 9/11 was?

Proof that the liberal teachers and brainwashing is doing its job, and more proof that the sheeple are stupid, unconcerned, and waiting to be terrorist bait.

This is truly a national disgrace.

Terrorists? No Sh-t Sherlock!

Today, Scotland Yard and the British Intelligence agencies thwarted a major plot to bomb a dozen or more Trans-Atlantic flights originating out of London's Heathrow Airport.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,207682,00.html

Over 21 have been detained so far. And they are of Pakistani origin. More to follow.....

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,207682,00.html

As a precaution, the US and Britain are on their highest security alerts in over a year......

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,207710,00.html

European airlines and American ones are cancelling flights to Europe until further notice.....

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,207715,00.html

The explosives to be used on the packed airliners were made to pass as hygeine products, ie hair gel, contact solution, etc..... LIQUID EXPLOSIVES.

Thus, hand luggage is being banned from being put onto flights....

http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=topNews&storyid=2006-08-10T070534Z_01_L10808905_RTRUKOC_0_US-TRANSPORT-BA.xml&src=rss&rpc=22

President Bush and Prime Minister Blair have both issued statements on the alerts, commending law enforcement and counter-terrorism in thwarting this plot.

No doubt both caution to be vigilant.

As 9-11 proves and this solidifies, that this war is far from over.

Wackadoo Party takes power....

http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/442047p-372286c.html


Win for the wackadoo wing

Leftward, march! The sucking sound you heard from Connecticut last night was the air going out of the war on terror. At least among many Democrats.
The party's voters have spoken - and they are wrong to try to fire Joe Lieberman after three distinguished terms in the Senate. Now we know what a nutmeg really is. It has something to do with a nutty decision.
Don't buy the baloney that Lieberman lost his primary race because he had lost touch with his home base on a range of issues. Rich upstart Ned Lamont was all about Lieberman's support for the Iraq war and coziness with President Bush. That's what this election was about, period.
So now that the wackadoo wing of the party has a bloody scalp, what are they going to do with it? Wave it at Islamic terrorists in Iraq and Lebanon and Afghanistan and Indonesia and Great Britain and Spain and Israel and New York and declare peace? That will work for sure. They better also wear armor and duck.
Lieberman is the first casualty of the war against the war on terror. If last night's results are a window on the party's tilt, then a huge slice of the Democratic party is ready to sit out the war to protect America. God help us if the Republicans also get the wobblies. Let's hope the Connecticut Condition isn't contagious. And let's hope last night's decision is overturned.
Lieberman's decision to stay in the race as an independent is the right one. Given the close margin, all the state's voters deserve a chance to have their say. Perhaps they will fix what the Democrats broke.
That many Americans are disgusted with events in Iraq is understandable. Nothing has gone as planned or promised, a point Lieberman made with some regularity. But wars never go easily, and thus are always unpopular at some point.
Even "good" wars have their bad moments, causing otherwise sensible people to look for the exits.
That is happening across our nation with Iraq, which, given the lousy intelligence on weapons of mass destruction, never was a "good" war. Yet Iraq, in all its hellishness, is important, even vital to regional stability and American security. Unplug America's commitment there, which is what the Lamont crowd is about, and how exactly does that help us? Will the terrorists suddenly stop attacking us and our allies?
And does the price of peace also require us to abandon Israel and the moderate Arab governments who are our allies in fighting the terrorists? Indeed, there was a surreal quality to the television news last night: Stations cutting away from the Israeli-Hezbollah war to update the election results, and vice versa. Too bad no one thought to link them as two parts of one story, which is what they are.
Congressional Democratic leaders recently demanded that Bush begin withdrawing our troops this year, regardless of events in Iraq. They called it a "redeployment." When I said that redeployment was another word for retreat, a top party operative disagreed. He said, earnestly, that Dems favored keeping about 35,000 troops "in the region" as something like a police force. "We could go back into Iraq if we had to," he said.
This is fantasy. And that's what Lamont's victory is based on. That somehow we can pull out of Iraq, tell the terrorists they win - and we and our allies will not suffer any consequences. And if those Islamists misbehave, well, we'll just scoot back over there with our police force and arrest those naughty fellows.
I believe that Islamic terrorists will stop at nothing in their mad quest to rule the globe. As a result, World War III has started, whether we like it or not. It will continue, whether we fight back or not. But if we think we can win by not fighting, then we're not just wrong. We're nuts. As in nutmeg.

Liberal Bigotry

There is a pariah in the liberal Democratic party, Senator Joseph Lieberman ibe thy name.

Read this. Pretty shocking stuff from Lanny Davis, former counsel to President Bill Clinton....

http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110008763

Now, in the closing days of the Lieberman primary campaign, I have reluctantly concluded that I was wrong. The far right does not have a monopoly on bigotry and hatred and sanctimony. Here are just a few examples (there are many, many more anyone with a search engine can find) of the type of thing the liberal blog sites have been posting about Joe Lieberman:
• "Ned Lamont and his supporters need to [g]et real busy. Ned needs to beat Lieberman to a pulp in the debate and define what it means to be an AMerican who is NOT beholden to the Israeli Lobby" (by "rim," posted on Huffington Post, July 6, 2006).
• "Joe's on the Senate floor now and he's growing a beard. He has about a weeks growth on his face. . . . I hope he dyes his beard Blood red. It would be so appropriate" (by "ctkeith," posted on Daily Kos, July 11 and 12, 2005).
• On "Lieberman vs. Murtha": "as everybody knows, jews ONLY care about the welfare of other jews; thanks ever so much for reminding everyone of this most salient fact, so that we might better ignore all that jewish propaganda [by Lieberman] about participating in the civil rights movement of the 60s and so on" (by "tomjones," posted on Daily Kos, Dec. 7, 2005).
• "Good men, Daniel Webster and Faust would attest, sell their souls to the Devil. Is selling your soul to a god any worse? Leiberman cannot escape the religious bond he represents. Hell, his wife's name is Haggadah or Muffeletta or Diaspora or something you eat at Passover" (by "gerrylong," posted on the Huffington Post, July 8, 2006).
• "Joe Lieberman is a racist and a religious bigot" (by "greenskeeper," posted on Daily Kos, Dec. 7, 2005).
And these are some of the nicer examples.
One Sunday morning on C-Span I debated Nation editor Katrina vanden Heuvel on the Lieberman versus Lamont race. Afterwards I received a series of emails--many of them in ALL CAPS (which often suggests the hyper-frenetic state of these extremist haters)--that were of the same stripe as the blog posts, and filled with the same level of personal hate.


And these kids love to use their anti-Semitic reporte also. See, if they do it, it's all fine and dandy since Lieberman is a more moderate to conservative leaning Orthodox-Jew. Very tolerant and nice of you all......

And of course, any friends of Mr. Lieberman are now feeling the pinch of these hateful bunch of coffee shop dwelling non-working liberal "experts."

Read on....

But the issue is not just emotional outbursts by these usually anonymous bloggers. A friend of mine just returned from Connecticut, where he had spoken on several occasions on behalf of Joe Lieberman. He happens to be a liberal antiwar Democrat, just as I am. He is also a lawyer. He told me that within a day of a Lamont event--where he asked the candidate some critical questions--some of his clients were blitzed with emails attacking him and threatening boycotts of their products if they did not drop him as their attorney. He has actually decided not to return to Connecticut for the primary today; he is fearful for his physical safety.

Gee, I thought it was only the GOP Gestapo that threatened people. Turns out the commies and nihilists are old hands at this also.

Well, good luck Senator Lieberman, and supporters during this primary day.

To paraphrase one commentator: "Today's primaries could spell the end of the Democratic Party as a viable party that would combat terror. If Lamont wins, he is one who is against support of the troops and any conflicts against terrorist, expect the Soft Underbelly of the Democratic Party to grow more. Lamont is also critical of Israel's use of force against terrorists. If Lamont wins, put another nail into the coffin of the Democratic Party of FDR, Harry Truman, Woodrow Wilson, and even Jack Kennedy. The Democratic Party will die, the Liberal Democratic Sell Your Mother for Sham Peace Party will be born and it will be strong, considering the make up in the Congress."

Yep, if Lieberman loses, expect the radicals to start taking control of the party and making it more obstructionist than ever.

And today is a primary in which staunchly anti-War, cop-slapping, race-baiting, Bush-bashing, PLO-backing, anti-Semite Cynthia McKinney is running against a more moderate Democrat, Hank Johnson.

And for those of you complain this is too BIASED, it's a blog, it's supposed to be biased. Unlike your so-called press, I don't hide my disdain for the radicals destroying the US.

The Sheemale Returneth

Well, well, look who's turned back up in Texas. That's riiiight. Cindy Sheehan, and now she has a somewhat permanent pile of land to roost on. Sheehan, who's on permanent vacation (mentally and physically) is going to go around Texas heckling President Bush at every turn.

I wonder if she'll get so gutsy during hunting season, if Bush takes Cheney hunting with him? one can wonder.....

By the way, you gotta love someone who says the following... "My name is Cindy Sheehan and George W Bush KILLED my son."

Really, Bush killed your son, I thought it was the bloodthirsty animals in Iraq that did it?

What a twit. Crawford, God have mercy on you, since Cindy won't.

ON THIS DAY AUGUST 7th

In 1998- the US Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Osama Bin Laden's Al Qaeda network and this would not be the last we heard from Osama...... His people hit the USS Cole a little over 2 years after this, and the World Trade Center a year later with the Pentagon.

1947- Thor Hyderthal's Kon Tiki raft hit a coral reef.

1945- Harry Truman announces the first use of an atomic bomb on Japan, which was detonated August 6, 1945. He gave a weather forecast of 4000 degrees with strong winds, and a large cloud bank gathering over Japan.....

1944- IBM successfully runs its first program controlled calculating machine, which would start the way for computers.

And you may share a birthday today with

David Duchovny of the X-Files, Charlize Theron of Monster and singer Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden (not be confused with Cowbell crazed producer Bruce Dickenson)

61 Years Ago, Today

August 6, 1945-

The B-29 Bomber, Enola Gay, flew over Southern Japan, and dropped its payload, one atomic bomb on Hiroshima.

While it ushered in nuclear conflict, and second thoughts by the scientists, the blast did save millions of lives from a possible Ground War in Japan. So, while it wasn't pretty, it did serve a purpose.

Thank you to the men of the Enola Gay who helped prevent millions of Allied and Japanese deaths, with one bomb blast. Well, also to the crew of Bocks Car, that would hit Nagasaki a couple of days later.

PARALLELS: IRAN AND ISRAEL

Israel- bad for daring invade Lebanon to stop terrorists from making incursions into their country from there. How dare they defend themselves.....

Iran- buying and building nuclear weapons, these aren't gonna be used for power plants, see Iraq's Osirik Reactor........ Iran is fine though.

Israel- UN condemns them for wars in 1982, and 2006. Threatens sanctions.

Iran- UN passes resoultions that do no good. Threaten very little.

Israel- backs US in War on Terror, probably more vigilant than we are. Hell, the US has forgotten 9/11 and probably doesn't care anymore.

Iran- backs Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Hamas, possibly some Al Qaeda groups. They remember their 1979 Revolution, but conveniently downplay the hundreds of thousands of moderates, intellectuals, doctors, Jews, Christians, and others who died along with the Shah's hated regime. This wasn't regime change, it was reverting a country back to the 7th Century.

Israel- America's top ally in the Middle East, period.

Iran- declares self as America's nightmare and top enemy. Guess someone has to top that swaggering Venezuelan moron Chavez.

Israel- rooted in thousands of years of religion, tradition, turmoil, war, grasping for peace.

Iran- rooted in thousands of years of religion, tradition, turmoil, war, grasping for Israel's throat.

Israel- sent condolences on 9/11, got the Mossad and Shin Bet on alert.

Iran- despite denials, and official condolences, was jumping for joy at the prospect of 3,000 dead. Not just Americans I might add.

There, here's a few.......

If Mel Gibson Put His Foot In Mouth, How About.....

OK, there's a good saying- "they that live in glass houses ought not throw rocks." In John chapter 8, Jesus said- "He who is without sin, cast the first stone." OK, all of you Pharisees and whiners out there.

Here's a synopsis, Mel drives drunk, speeding, almost wraps his car around a telephone pole and could have died, but instead is stopped. He makes misogynist and anti-Semitic remarks to LA County Sheriff's. He gets a trip to jail. Mel is indicted, and Mel is vilified. however, Mel apologizes for his remarks, his drunk driving, his stupidity, and he even goes to rehab. Now, some of you say that's good and well, but he needs to make a 'real attempt' to atone for his sins. Grow up.

Mel Gibson was human, last time I checked. Mel Gibson's dad is not too Hebrew friendly, so that probably had some influence along the way. At least Mel Gibson apologized, and issued letters to his offended communities.

You self-righteous types have yet to hold Reverend Jesse's feet to the fire over his Himeytown remarks. You've been silent with Al Sharpton's race-baiting and the Crown Heights riots, and his "Jewing up and down the numbers" comments in the 2004 primaries. Also, you've yet to chew out Robert Byrd for his KKK past, filibustering against the Civil Rights Acts of 1965 and 1964, and his repeated use of the word, n-gger. Why not kids? Could it be, those guys get a pass because they are Democrats, and some of them are whiny minorities? I think yes. And I think you who judge are hypocrites, period. Trust me, I can smell my own out, being a disfunctional recovering hypocrite.

Also, where's your rage against Iran for demanding Israel be destroyed?

Come on, some of us have to go to the store, we can't wait all day.

There. The rest is between God and Mel. The rest of you, read your book.

"If someone sins 7 times and then repents and asks for forgiveness seven times, you shall forgive them...."- book of Matthew.

Also, I doubt Mel or his family will lose sleep over Rob Schneider, Paris Hilton and Fitty Cent boycotting working with him. As if they had a snow ball's chance in hell of working with the guy. Rob's a second rate comedian. Fitty Cent is a foul-mouth hip-hop rapper. Paris Hilton, whore, period. Yeah, Mel's gonna cry over this one. 'Oh no, God, why? Why can't I work with The Animal or The Whore? Whyyyyyyy?'

And yes, there will be further backlash, probably from some self-professed sons and daughters of Abraham. Of course, I bet some of them haven't been to Temple or a Saddeth in years. And of course, mocking their own religion, right?

SORRY IT'S BEEN A WHILE

Sorry it's been a while, between work, family, and friends, life's been busy. Also, keeping up with the Israeli versus Hezbollah War is tedious and there's volumes to post on, so I recommend some of the recommended sites on my sidebar for further view. But, I will chime in here and there.
