 VP debate moderator Gwen Ifill has written. What some are saying , is a Pro Obama book . The book titled Age of Obama is to be released on Inauration day .

  Do you think the Commissions on Presidental Debates . Should replace Ms. IFILL ?  Or do you think she can be Pro Obma and still remain be unbiased , as a moderator ?   

 Can anyone tell me why Tony thinks Isringhausen has anything left ?

  Jason was a good closer in the past . The key words here ( in the past ) . I,ve said it before Isringhausen has nothing on his pitches . It looks like he,s pitching batting practice .

 Second guessing a manager , without all the facts is foolish . But Isringhausens numbers don't lie .  

  Has anyone else noticed ?  Here in the Midwest we've had floods , lost homes , levee's broken and  people displaced .

    NO LOOTING , NO CRYING ITS BUSH'S / GOVERMENTS FAULT . I HAVEN'T HEARD ONE CLAIM THAT THE GOVERMENT BLEW THE LEVEE'S !

  What I have seen is people rolling up the sleeves . Giving of their time to help their fellow man .

  Some would say where behind the times . Why I'll bet Nancy Grace, Heroldo Riveral and Lou Dobbs won't even show up .

   ARE WE DOING SOMETHING WRONG ? I SAY WHERE DOING WHAT WE ALWAYS DO . TAKING CARE OF OURSELEVE'S .  

 I love all kinds of music . From Blues , pop , southern rock , Motown , too country . Performers get most of the acclaim . A good singer can put you into the heart of a song . A good guitar / ax picker can make you start tapping your feet . ( mechany144 ) !

  The song writer is the glue of music . They can take a few words and tell you a life story . They paint pictures for your minds ear . They can make you laugh , cry , feel pain and remember good times and bad . 

  Here's just a small list of the song writers that I like . Tell us your favorite ,s

  Pop & Rock 

  Don Henley , Chuck Berry , Bernie Taupin

I was asked two questions about the Cardinals .Over this past Christmas Holiday . My answers surprised me , too say the least  !

  1ST . Name all Fan favorite players of the last five seasons .?

 2ND. Name any player from your list . Thats still with the team , or hasen't had a problem with Tony LaRussa . .?

  I only came up with Pujols , Carpenter and Molina . . I had too correct that , because of the way Tony treated Pujos in the all star gane .  The person asking me the questions said , it sounds like Tony can't stand his players being to popular with the fans .

  Soo , what do you think ?      

Remembrance of the day that will live in Infamy .

    Yes today is the Day that Japan attacted Pearl Harbor . Let us never forget those that lost their lives . And those that gave their lives so we can live free .

   God Bless America and the Men and Women that keep her free .

 Thanks Governor Rod Blagojevich !

  Missouri business owners have a friend in Illinois . Its none other than the Governor Rod Blagojevich . Brother Rod just signed into law a bill that bans smoking . Now I know why we need a new bridge down town .

   Governor Blagojevich has a plan to take Illinois back to a true prairie state . First he proposes a tax on manufacturing . Now he signs a bill that will force Illinois residents that smoke .To cross the river into the , SHOW ME STATE .

   WAY TO GO ROD  ! YOU DA MAN !

  I can see the adds now .

 "  Blagojevich :" Working hard for Missouri !

The U S Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 today . Upholding the nation wide ban on the controversial abortion procedure . This is a long awaited victory for abortion opponents .

  I for one , am glad this ruling came down . It's my opinion partial birth abortion is unnnecessary in most cases .  All anyone needs to do is watch a film of a partial birth abortion being preformed . To me its nothing more than the murder of a defenceless human being .

  What is your opinion ?

The term hero get's used a lot these day's . Some are more than worthy , some are not .

   Whats your idea of a hero ? What do you think it takes to be a hero ?

   Who has been a hero in your life ? This person may be family , friend , teacher , preacher , sports figure , politition , intertainer A person you knew , are someone you just heard about .

  Here's mine .

   My uncle Ralph . He took a wild eyed boy that was failing in school and in life . He taught me about life , what it takes to be a man . He also taught me the only true wealth a person  has , is his honor . Because of him I place God , Family and my country above all . I MISS HIM SO ..

  These are in no particular order . Harry S Truman , Ronald Reagen , Stan The Man , Lou Brock , Red Skelton , John Wayne . Margaret Thatcher  .

  Ever person that ever stood in harmsway . So my family and I  may live free and safe . God Bless all military , law inforcement  , firemen , health care workers and teachers .

 The NRA is holding their 2007 convention in St, Louis Mo . Good news for the St, Louis economy   " RIGHT " ? Not if you listen to The St,Louis Cleargy Coalition .

   The St,Louis Cleargy Coalition thought the NRA Convention was a prime time , To play  ( The Blame Game )

   Everyone knows the violent crime rate in St, Louis is out of hand . Murder , Robber , Car Theift  rates are way up . But insead of looking from within for the reasons why . The Reverend B. T. Rice and the St, Louis Cleagy Coalition decided to play the now famous ( BLAME GAME )

   Playing the Blame Game has few rules . You just blame everything on someone , anyone other than yourself . Sexual Predators claim they were molested as a child . Wife beaters claim , my father did it . And so the Reverend B.T.Rice claims the NRA is to blame for all St, Louis violent crimes .

   Little are no parental controls , citizens refusing to support law inforcement . Police Chief Joe Mokwa said , " Its difficult to make an impact on crime  ". While there's so many preditors on probation . Its our judicial system thats letting us down . Judges and Prosecuters take the easy way of making deals . Instead of putting hard core criminals behind bars for the maximum sentance .

   So what do you think ? Is B.T Rice and the St, Louis Clergy Coalition . Right ?

   Are do you think their just playing the ( BLAME GAME )

 Its 6:45 Pm March 21 ,

   On the news blog we have Three blogs about the pet food recall . I love animals as much as the next person . But three stories at the same time  on the same subjest , is kinda overkill  .

  I think the web team does a very good job . But variety is the spice of life , so they say .

  Is it just me ? What do you think ?

 This is not very long , but very inforative . When you have read the catalogue of events in this brief piece . Then ask yourself how anyone can take the postion that all we have to do is bring our troops home from Iraq , set back , reset the snooze alarm , go back to aleep , and no one will ever bother us again . In case you missed it . World War III began in November 1979 . The alarm has been ringing for years .

   US Navy Captain Oulmette is the Excutive Officer at Naval Air Station , Florida . Here is a copy of the speech he gave last month .. It is an accurate account of why we are in so much trouble today and why this action is so necessary .

                                America NEEDS TO WAKE UP !

   Thats what we think we heard 9 / 11 /2001  ( when more than 3000 Americans were killed ) and maybe it was . I think it should have been " get out of bed :" . In fact , I think the alarm clock has been buzzing since 1979 and we have continued to hit the snooze button and roll over for a few more minutes of peaceful sleep .

 It was a cool day in November 1979 in a country going through religious and political upheaval. When a group of Iranian students attacked and siezed the American Embassy in Tehran . This seizure was an outright attackon American soil . It was an attack that held the worlds most poerful country hostage and paralyzed a Presidency .

   The attack on this sovereign U.S. Embassy set the stage for events to follow for the next 25 years . America was still reeling from the after math of Vietnam experience and aserious threat from the Soviet Union . When then President Carter , had to do something . He chose to conduct a clandestine raid in the desert . The ill-fated mission ended in ruin . But stood as a symbol of America's inabilitity to deal with terrorism .

   America's military had been decimated and diwn sized since the end of the Vietnam war . A poorly trained , poorly equiped and poorly organized military was called on to execute a complex mission that was doomed from the start .

    Shortly after the Tehran experience , Americans began to be kidnapped and killed thoughout the Middle East . America could do little to protct her citizens living and working abroad .

     The attacks against U.S, soil continued .

    In April of 1983 a large vehicle packed with high explosives was driven into the U.S. Embassy compound in Beirut . When it explodes , it kills63 people . The alarm went off again and America hit the snooze button once more .!

   Then just six short months later in 1983 a large truck heavily laden down with over 2500 pounds of TNT smashed through the main gate of the U.S. Marine Corps headquarters in Beirut and 241 U.S servicemen are killed . Ameriac mourns her daed  and hits the snooze button once more .Two months later in December 1983 , another truck loaded with explosives is driven into the U.S.Embassy in Kuwait  , and America continues her slumber !.

   The following year , in September 1984 , another van was driven into the gate of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut and America slept ! Soon the terrorism spreads to Europe in April 1989 a bomb explodes ata restaurant frquented by U.S. soldiers in Madrid .

   Then in August 1985 a Volkswagan loaded with explosives is driven into the main gate of the U.S, Air Force Base at Rhein-Main , 22 are killed . The snooze alarm is buzzing louder as U.S. interests are continually attacked .Fifty-nine days later in a cruise ship , the Achille Lauro is hijacked and we watched as an American ( in a wheelchair ) is singled out of the passanger list and executed .

   The terrorist then shift their tactics to bonbing  civilian airlines . The bombing of TWA Flight 840 in April of 1986 that killed 4 . And the most ragic bombing Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie Scotland killed 259 . Clinto treated these terrorist acts as crimes , in fact we are still trying to bring these people to trail. These are in fact acts of war !

   The wake up alarm is getting louder and  louder ..

  The terrorist decide to bring the fight to America . In January 1993. Two CIA agents are shot and killed as they inter CIA headquarters in Langley Virginia .. The following month , Febuary 1993 , a group of terrorist are arrested after a rented van packed with explsives is driven into the undersround garage of the World Trade Center in New York City . Six people are killed and over 1000 are injured . Still is called a crime and not an act of war . The snooze alarm is depressed again !

   Then in November 1995 a car bomb explodes at a U.S. military complex in Riyadh , Saudi Arabia killing 7 service men and women. . A few months later in June 1996 , another truck bomb explodes 35 yards from the U.S. miliarty compound in Dhahran . It destroys the Khobar Towers  , a U.S. AirForce barracks , killing 19 and injurying over 500 . The terroist are getting braver and smarter . They move to coordinate their attacks in similanous attacks on U.S.Embessies in Kenya and Tanzania they kill 224 . We fire cruise missle  and go back to sleep ! The USS Cole was attacked in Yemen , October 12 2000  17 sailers died .Attacking a U.S. War ship is an act of War ! But we sent the FBI to investagate and went back to sleep !

   And of course you know the events of Sept 11 ,2001 . Most Americans think thsi was the first attack againest U.S. soil or in America . How wrong they are . Ameriac has been under attack since 1979 and we chose to hit the snoozne alarm and roll over and go backj to sleep !

  In the news lately we have seen a lot of finger pointing at high officials in goverment , Over what they knew and what they didn't know. But if we paid a little closer attention I think you can see exactly what they knew for years . And you don'y have to be in the FBI or CIA or on the National Security Council too see the pattern that has been developing since 1979 !

  I think we have been in a war for the past 25 yarrs and it will continue until we as a people decide enough is enough . Ameriac needs to " GET OUT OF BED :"  and act decisively now . America has been changed forever . We have to be ready to pay the price and make sacrifice to ensure our way of life continues . We cannot afford to keep hitting the snooze button again and again and roll over and go back to sleep .

  After the attack on Pearl Harbor , Admiral Yamamoto said " it seems all we have done is wakened a sleeping giant . This is the message we need to disseminate to terrorist arounf the world . THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL THING , to be hashed over in an election year . This is an AMERICAN thing ! This is about our FREEDOM and the FREEDOM  of our CHILDREN in years to come .

   God Bless America !
