I am old enough almosts to remember Ernie Pyle. Yes, if we only had some men like him. I think of Michael Fay and Kris Battles, the sketch artists who serve with the Marines, but their work doesn't get broadcast...too bad.<BR/><BR/>And, Yeah! for Mississippi. It's time. In reading the above comments, AC, Paul, and SRP have certainly expressed well my sentiments.<BR/><BR/>Happy New Year!Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269872465115056916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-1167290588708017742006-12-28T01:23:00.000-06:002006-12-28T01:23:00.000-06:00It is time that Mississippi was considered. They ...It is time that Mississippi was considered. They have set about the long and arduous process of rebuilding and in the process making their lives better. I have no doubt that the people of Mississippi will prevail. <BR/><BR/>John Edwards did his part as a lawyer blaming OB/Gyns for kids with cerebral palsy. Most of the time it is not the fault of the physician. I have seen women sue doctors for poor pregnancy outcomes when they NEVER sought pre-natal care, REFUSED to have a C-section until it was an emergency.... and lawyers like Edwards convince juries that the doctor caused the CP. He has made his riches while sparking the malpractice crisis that threatens women everywhere ... OB/GYN's now pay more in malpractice premiums than they can earn in a year... they are quiting practice. General practice docs won't deliver babies for the same reason. In some places women have to travel over a hundred miles to see an OB/Gyn. Oh, yes... let's elect him! (much sarcasm)<BR/><BR/>Can you tell I don't care for lawyers?srphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751987787364198318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-1167277789781691852006-12-27T21:49:00.000-06:002006-12-27T21:49:00.000-06:00I long ago, fairly long ago, stopped sympathizing ...I long ago, fairly long ago, stopped sympathizing with the professional gold miners of a tragedy which dumped a better way to scheme the government than the one they had.<BR/>How much money do those people need I thought, non-racially, of course. What is the government guaranteeing? Was any individual aid needed other than low cost home loans after the charities aggregate came on down? The country's outpouring as I remember, was substantial. Have the professional victims even gone back to check their loss? Innovation and aid to return them to their previous life may scare the crap out of them in comparison.<BR/>The thing is, in each election, half the country seems always to see the logic of the good government life. <BR/>I'm always frightened by that. It is always so close.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14598933.post-1167272482129213672006-12-27T20:21:00.000-06:002006-12-27T20:21:00.000-06:00Well, Karen, another gem!

He reroofed his own house after Katrina and several more on his street. The damage was not nearly as bad where he is, but he said he's never seen it so bad in all his years of living through hurricanes.<BR/><BR/> John Edwards again. Bah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
