Christmas 2006 - America Wasted

There, are you happy Jeremy? I still hold true to my convictions. Iraq is a cluster****, and you and I both know it. So why oh why would someone send more fuel to the fire? As long as it isn't your kid 'over there', your all for it. Right buddy? This crap has been going on since world war one. Total control. Go read the Philly Aggregator for the original post that I 'Misspelled'. Then call your local ACLU branch and complain that I am treading on your rights. Update: This YouTube video is one of many that have populated the net that have convinced me that this counry has been hi jacked by whom again? If you don't like it, then your a TRAITOR. Sound familiar? You just don't get it do you Jeremy. Do you? BTW, here's my answer to what you e mailed me about. Merry Christmas Jeremy..

Let's Say Thanks

Sheila, a good friend of mine sent me this e mail: "Something cool that Xerox is doing If you go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq . You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services. How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! This is a great site. Please send a card. It is FREE and it only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these?" Whether you are for or against the war, our guys and gals over there need to know we are behind them..." I thought it a great idea to pass it along to the readers of this blog. Cheers.

Happy Birthday Dad

Well it's yet another year that the family would be celebrating our Dad, Pete Ward's birthday. A fine gentleman and a man who would give you the shirt off of his back, A veteran of both WW2 and Korea. A fine musician of traditional Irish music. But he was taken away ten years ago this July. So with that, I wish you Dad a Happy Birthday, from all of us. You are missed and loved forever. Merry Christmas. Cheers Dad.

Waiting For The Eagles Game

I hate it that they have to wait until 4:15 to play. So in the meantime, being the bored on Sunday self that I am, I scrounged around the net and came up with this: Does anyone actually use Geico for their car insurance?

Get It Right MSM!

Today some kid killed himself in his High School in Springfield, Pennsylvania. Horrible thing, especially around Christmas. My heart goes out to his family and friends. My problem is with the local media. When this story broke on KYW this morning, I thought hell, Springfield High School, as in Delaware County? Even tonight, right now on Channel Six, they are saying: Springfield Township, Pennsylvania in their report. Imagine parents of children in our "Springfield High School" hearing what I did this morning on the radio? GET IT RIGHT MEDIA! If you broadcast into Delaware County, as well as "Montgomery County" (Where the tragedy happened) you should say what county you’re reporting about!

Happy Holidays Bill O' Reilly!

Yes Bill, I think of you a lot. I think about you and your smug self as you sit on your throne at Fox Broadcasting spewing your Joseph Goebbels like bullshit. I searched the Blogosphere from an enlightenment via Above Average Jane (More on that later), and found this at Robert Greenwald's Blog. A tribute to Bill and the rest of the New Neo-Nazi Spinmeisters that have backed themselves into a corner, supposedly defending freedoms in the U.S. but in reality serving the Oligarchs and collecting a fat paycheck to boot. Cheers.

Killing Christmas

Last night I had the displeasure? of chatting with a woman from Ridley at Thomas' Cafe. She said she was Catholic, and soon our conversation turned to the sex abuse scandal that plagues the Catholic Church. She admitted that it bothered her that no mention of this ever comes up at Mass. I then asked her what she thought of the meaning of the word "Christmas". I saw by the look in her eyes and the way she half smiled what was to come next. She explained to me that when she was a kid (judging from her looks that wasn't that long ago), she believed in Santa Clause and did all the things that her Mom had told her to do on Christmas Eve, like leaving some milk and cookies for Santa. As she got older, she found out (like we all did) that Santa Claus is a crock of baloney. She further stated that she didn't believe in Jesus being born in a manger, etc, etc. I asked her what demon invaded her soul. Before she replied, I answered her question. The reason you don't believe in Christmas is because the mass media has censored it for decades, instead shoving Santa Claus, Presents, Xmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa down our throats while making it "Politically Incorrect" to mention even the word Christmas in most references to the holiday. Anyone reading this knows I am telling the truth. Of course she said I was wrong in my assumptions, and walked to the other side of the bar. To me "Christmas" is celebrating the birth of Jesus. It's about giving, as he gave to us. The fact that other religious groups do not acknowledge this should not allow them to be able to try to ban or change Christmas. But they are doing just this. Just pick up your local newspaper, watch your favourite TV show, even go to a local Wawa where instead of "Merry Christmas" you'll get "Happy Holidays" as you finish paying for your coffee. The list is endless. As I was ready to leave with my wife, I walked over to the young woman, who was chatting it up with her three girlfriends. I had two words to say to her. Merry Christmas.

Danny Faulkner -25 Years Without Justice While Mumia Stays Cozy

It's a cold day here in the Philly burbs, and as I sit here I am reminded of what happened 25 years ago today. Wesley Cook, a.k.a. Mumia Abu Jamal Murdered Officer Daniel Faulkner in cold blood. I will not give Mumia or his supporters the time of day; suffice to say that it would be a disservice to the Faulkner family. I knew Danny's brother Kenny, and talked with him at length about his brother’s murder. Kenny passed away without seeing justice served as in Mumia being executed.

Some may respond to this post as being racist. The only thing racist here is that certain groups labeled the trial that a long time ago and continue to support a murderer. PERIOD.

FACT: Wesley Cook (a.k.a. Mumia Abu Jamal) shot Officer Daniel Faulkner, killing him.
FACT: Wesley Cook (a.k.a. Mumia Abu Jamal) was CONVICTED of this murder.
FACT: Wesley Cook (a.k.a. Mumia Abu Jamal) will die someday, and he will be judged by God and sentenced to rot in hell for the rest of eternity.

R.I.P. Danny and Kenny.

Delaware County Singles

About 2 years ago I started a Singles Group on Yahoo called "Delco Singles". I started it after a frined of mine told me that She was tired of the bar scene and fed up with men there buying her drinks and expecting something in return. She also tried match.com and yahoo personals, to no avail. Lately the group has been seeing some action, but I guess people are gun shy or something. Anyway, if you are single and interested in joining, the link to the Delaware County Singles Group is right here - Delco Singles Cheers.
