Just a reminder
To My Fellow Americans
In this day of Presidents who award huge reconstruction contracts to his cronies, of Atty Generals who have forgotten what the Constitution stands for, of Administrations who bend the truth or outright lie to get the country to believe in their agenda (bloody sheep), or conveniently look the other way when the facts don't fit their World View....
Presidential Criticism This quote was part of an editorial he wrote for the "Kansas City Star" during World War I.
"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American Public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."
"Theodore Roosevelt in the Kansas City Star",

You know I wouldn't be so damn mad if the Republicans had not set the table during the Clinton years. Bloody hypocrites. It's ok for them to spend 8 years sniping at the previous administration's agenda but god forbid they get sniped at. All of a sudden the criticizer is Unpatriotic. In that thinking just how more unpatriotic can you be than to launch a failed attempt to impeach a President?
They did everything in their power to bring down a President whose mistake was to mess around behind his wife's back. Actually gentle reader you and I both know that was the smoke screen. Rich Right Wing Republican's from the PRIVATE sector put the present administration in their sights for (god forbid) being LIBERAL. And they did everything and anything they could to discredit that administration.
I will give you my quote of the day -
I'd rather have a President that "does" an intern than one that "does" the country.
Some of the stupid stuff I have to deal with
We are selling our building at work. It is much too large for our needs and besides I think the owner wants the money. Now very few of you have visited my office, but its kinda "grotty" as the English say. Heck its an industrial building. The rugs are a bit mildewed from years of leaking roof problems and the main part of the building is a warehouse cum workshoppe anyway. So here is the stoopid (sic) part. This is an e-mail I got from the boss a few weeks ago.. as if how I look will make the building sell better.
As you both know I need you to wear a tie from now on when in the office. This will be the dress code from now on, until you hear otherwise from me. As you know I am trying to sell the building & if I do we will be relocating, hopefully to one of the Watervliet Arsenal buildings. There will be people coming through the building throughout the next few months, some without any prior notice. These people will include people from Fleet Bank, NYS Empire Development, Numerous Realtors (hopefully with prospective buyers) as well as people from the Arsenal. It is in our best interest to portray a professional appearance, there for ties will be required Monday through Friday.
My life is a twilight zone episode sometimes....

I did a google search on the exact phrase Mike Montfort and Mike (other name) and guess who won? Mike Montfort by two to one, not counting the contributions to the web by Mike Montfort of TX of whom I am certainly not...
55 questions every Jehovah's Witness should be asked using the NWT
QUESTIONS! QUESTIONS! QUESTIONS! - 55 questions every Jehovah's Witness should be asked using the NWT: "These questions have been put together using information from many different sources. All verses are from the NWT so that the translation of these verses cannot be questioned by Jehovah's Witnesses. If the Watchtower Society decides to change any of these verses (like they did with Heb 1:6), then the obvious question for the individual Jehovah's Witness is why did the WTS change their own Bible."
Thanks to my friend Sandnemo for this one. What a hoot.
