HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

In the midst of the heat & the storms & whatever else might distract you, don't forget about dear ol' Dad!

HAPPY JUNE!

School's almost out, it's 60+ degrees at 5:30 a.m. & hurricane season has begun. Summer's just around the corner!

ROGATION SUNDAY ...

Today's the day globally recognized to ask God's blessing for the seed, the soil, the crops & all He created.

Those of you who don't believe in Creation can just call up PETA & thank them for their continuing campaign.

Six Days on the Road & I'm a-Gonna Make It Home Tonight ...

Yeah, sometimes, I *do* sit down here & type the first thing that pops into my mind.

Wait! I feel another one coming on!

Trailer for sale or rent.

Rooms to let, fifty cents.

No phone, no pool, no pets,

I ain't got no cigarettes ...

I MIGHT BE WATCHING TOO MUCH NEWS ....

Obama said he wanted to move beyond "a dark and painful chapter in our history" ... so he released top secret CIA memos from the Bush administration, detailing tactics for dealing with terrorists & terror suspects. Some call these tactics "torture," others call it vital to U.S. security. What do *you* think? Does "torture" dehumanize American agents and drag them down to terrorist levels or does the end justify the means? Is it "torture" when the "victims" have killed thousands by means way worse than those we employ?

Have you seen the YouTube of Susan Boyle? I'm not an American Idol fan, but she's not to be missed. Watch the video soon; it won't be long before the Extreme Makeover takes place.

Are you keeping up with the EPA vs. coal mining coverage? Governor Manchin gave permission for local news crews to cover the meetings; EPA officials pulled rank and said no way, no cameras, no reporters, coal is evil and we don't want the public to know what we look like or have proof of what we're about to say.

And did you hear about the couple who were trying to sell drugs & texted the Webster County prosecutor, asking if he was "looking" ?? They're both in jail now. One little typo can change your life forever ...

Despite it all, the sun continues to shine, the world continues to turn ...

SEE YA, MARCH!

There's a new blurb over there in the sidebar --------> to give you ready access to 2 of your elected officials - Senator Randy White & Clay County Commissioner Fran King. If you run into any other elected officials, please extend a formal invitation to them to have their contact information posted here, too. It's free.

Charleston made national news yesterday - the implosion of old Union Carbide building #82 was on Fox (maybe others, that's the only one I saw). The beauty of it was the cameras actually focused on the building this time & not the first backwoods toothless person they saw.

Have you heard of the new conflicker computer virus? Better get your computer patched - it's a biggie!

WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!

Eleven more days of winter, snow could fly at any time, but when it's 60+ degrees at 8 a.m. two mornings in a row, Spring's gotta be just around the corner!!

Q Y I P

PARENTING 101

It's official.

I'm THE WORST MOM EVER!

I fully realize - and just as fully embrace - that I may very well be the Last Parent On The Planet who flatly refuses to buy rated M for Mature games for my children who, by law, are not old enough to buy them for themselves.

Please. People. If there is ANYBODY out there who hasn't lowered the parenting standards & given in to their underage kids, please, please, please back me up on this. Otherwise, I'm going to have to give in & buy my own children all the other things they're not old enough to buy themselves ... hookers, booze, cigarettes ...

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING ...

OK, y'all take it from there ...

WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS ....

We'll talk about the weather.

As of 5 a.m. or so, 41 of our 55 counties were reporting either school closings or delays. Twenty-two counties are under a winter weather advisory until noon tomorrow; the surrounding counties are under a warning.

Who called Al Gore? It's a proven fact that every time he shows up to talk about global warming, he brings with him record lows, record snow falls & all sorts of bizarre weather.
