"James
Cameron has volunteered to go down to the Gulf of Mexico and consult. I love it
when a guy who's an expert in fake disasters gets involved. And if that doesn't
work, they're going to contact Superman and he's going to weld the pipe with his
X-ray vision." –David Letterman

Public support for the war in Afghanistan will evaporate unless the nations leading the fight against insurgents can show by the end of this year that the eight-year war is not locked in stalemate, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Wednesday.

Lisa,
What is your take on their ongoing conflict and what Helen Thomas said and her job loss resulting from her comments?
Arnold
I think the Israel/Palestine conflict is proof positive that an eye for an eye does not work.
They need a Renaissance.
Heaven forbid that 89 year old journalist Helen Thomas would have an opinion. With that said, let the same happen to the entire Fox News staff whenever they express an opinion.
"The oil
spill is getting bad. There is so much oil and tar now in the Gulf of Mexico,
Cubans can now walk to Miami." –David Letterman

In the end, the hype took birther attorney Orly Taitz to a decisive 49-point defeat in the race for the GOP nomination for California secretary of state. Mainstream Republican candidate Damon Dunn, who got into that race earlier and raised seven times as much money, carried every county and won more than 1 million votes; Taitz will end up with around 370,000 votes.

"Even
though he's not stepping down, Tony Hayward is handing over responsibility to
the cleanup to an American named Bob Dudley. There's a name that gives me
confidence. It sounds like a sitcom character who's always messing everything
up." –Jimmy Fallon
Fox Reporter Jailed
A local Fox
television reporter who's been blogging regularly on the Gulf oil spill made a
bit of his own news yesterday.
George Franco, a reporter with Fox affiliate WAGA-TV in Atlanta, was charged
with battery following an alleged altercation with a BP clean-up worker...says
the Sheriff's spokeswoman, "Franco argued with the contractor, shoved the
contractor and started grabbing him." The scuffle didn't end there. After
Mitchell asked Franco to leave a few more times, the 52-year-old reporter
"grabbed Mitchell's arm spinning him around,"

"To give you an idea now the level, the quality of training that the terrorists are getting: These two guys trained every weekend to become terrorists by playing paint ball. If they got really good at paint ball, Al Qaeda would let them plant a bomb in a go-kart." –David Letterman

Thank You Note
Dear Archie, Thank you so much for taking the time to mail me Dan Brown's latest book, The Lost Symbol. I loved it. I love art history, especially the architecture of the High Renaissance. The art of the Masons really does have a timeless feel. Brown's descriptions of the "Masonry" throughout the US Capitol was not only a brilliant visual but quite accurate. I would love to see the sunrise light hit the caplet of the Washington monument.
Maybe the enlightenment of man isn't that far off?
"It can happen." ~ Rosanna Rosanna Dana
Many Thanks Archie, Lisa
I hope you had a good time today
