Opening Stuff:
You think you have heard it all, and then you read that the NCAAP and several other activist groups are running to the United Nations to file a human rights complaint against US states enacting Voter ID Laws. Let me repeat that, the United Nations. The Democrats are willing to cede US Sovereignty to the Russians, Iranians and other assorted sham democracies to preserve the opportunities for fraud in US voting. Putin and Ahmadinejad would love no voter ID. The NCAAP is hoping the UN will exert pressure on states by shaming them! This is true folks. And it isn't a pretty picture.
Too often people look back and rue the decisions they didn't make instead of putting all of that energy into moving positively into the future.

American Idol: The music didn't send me last night, but even with less than entertaining tunes (To me), Skylar, Colton and Phillip still proved to be formidable competitors for the title. Jessica Sanchez and now Joshua also look to be in that upper echelon list. I liked Erika's song but she didn't move me. She has a great, strong voice but her performances come off as just adeqauate. She and Elise are the elderly twosome, and somehow age works against you with what appears to be a female, younger demographic. Shannon has a strong voice, but seems robotic. I think Deandre has talent but his performances seem weak. I fell asleep during Heejun Han's effort. Holly has a terrific voice,and I liked her song and her, but I didn't think she was as tremendous as the judges thought. Interesting that the judges said Jessica should do more ballads. Last year they told Pia she was doing too many ballads. The bottom four are Heejun, Deandre, Shannon and Erika. Heejun should go, but the demographics may save him.
You probably have read about that ex-Goldman Exec who in a Wall Street Journal Op Ed piece yesterday said that GS was "losing its moral fiber". The company "Is part of our Rip-Off culture" and has to "weed out morally bankrupt people", he continued. The real sad part of the issue may be found in the results of a fast, informal survey of GS customers after the statement. The general consensus seemed to be, "As long as they're making me money, I don't care about morals." Nice, just plain freaking great!
Think of all the wasted ink and paper "Green" loving celebs could save if they could keep their egos and missteps out of the news. Unfortunately one of the biggest industries replacing manufacturing in the country is gossip.
Last night I watched Bucknell, who lost to Lehigh in the Patriot League Championship, thrash number one seed Arizona in an NIT matchup. So, I'm revising my selection for the Lehigh-Duke contest Friday night. Lehigh by 7.
Unfortunately, too many voter constituencies in America think the solution to the country's problems is "Give me more money."
To tell you the truth, I'm just biding time getting ready for bagpipes Saturday. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Almost Near: Chapter 65 continues. --Tucker and Sheila had entered the employee entrance of the Hampton Inn. Tucker was waring a hat that covered his face, and Sheila was actually looking quite happy anticipating seeing Mom. They looked like a normal dad and daughter out for a walk.
"How about we surprise Mom?" Sheila's eyes lit up. She nodded wildly. "Ok, you go down to that desk over there, and tell them your mom forgot to give you a key to her room. Say, I'm Sheila Quimpierre, and my my mom is Samantha Wilcox."
"You sure?"
"Absolutely." he stuck a positive thumb. She turned towards the lobby. After a few steps, she turned and looked for confidence. She saw Tucker standing there, smiling."
He watched her stand waiting for someone to notice her. She looked back and Tucker motioned his hand to say something. Finally he saw her lips moving. The clerk smiled and then looked around the lobby. Tucker didn't think it appeared he was looking for anything in particular. Like police. The clerk then looked down and started typing. After a few minutes, he looked up and handed Sheila a card key. "Thank you, thank you, thank you." Tucker felt his heart beating a little faster as she ran towards the elevators.
The Answer:
Actually a list of healthiest fast food breakfasts is a tool I use to determine which foods to avoid. If it doesn't contain sausage, count me out. Anyhow, here they are: Starbucks "Protein Plate", Subway "Western Egg White and Cheese Muffin Melt", Au Bon Pain "Large Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal", Jamba Juice "12oz Mango Peach Topper", McDonald's "Scrambled Eggs + English Muffin", Jack-in-the-Box "Breakfast Jack" and Burger King "3-Piece French Toast Sticks".Attention spans are just too damn short.
There's lots going on in the sports world this week, but when it's not going on in your world, nothing is really seems to be happening.
