The Black Death /Black Plague or Bubonic Plague was one of the deadliest pandemics in human history.  The plague killed 40 Al-Queda members from a training camp in Algeria recently.    Bubonic Plague is spread by bites from infected rat fleas, Pneumonic Plague is airborne bacteria spread flu.   The plague devastated Europe in the Middle Ages and a epidemic struck Britian 1665.   News reports say filithy conditions of the  Al-Queda camp was the cause of the plague.   Others say the Al-Queda terrorist were experimenting with germ warfare.  The Taliban, Iraq and Al-Queda  were all experimenting with germ warfare prior to 9-11. 

The inauguration of the first Black President was too much for two democrat senators.  Not known if Senator Robert Byrd, former KKK member  was overcome with emotions about the first black president or elation on a democrat becoming president.    Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy, former swimmer at Martha's Vineyard also developed medical problems.  Both Senators had to be taken away from an inauguration luncheon today because of medical problems.    The democrats have been struggling with senate seats, trying to make the magic number of 60.  Harry Reid not wanting to seat  Burris, Franken trying to steal an election and N.Y. struggling with the Kennedy name.

Hillary assumed the Democrat Presidential nomination was hers for the taking.  She fought a good fight, but came up short.  SECOND PLACE.   Being asked by Obama to be Secretary of State  was a consolation prize for Hillary.  Now Hillary has to learn, from Oprah, again, she is SECOND  .  It is tough always being SECOND. 

Spoke person for Obama, David Axelrod says," not  months, maybe years to come out of the economic situation"   this AM on ABC with George Stephanopoulos.   Axelrod says "Obama will have a strong message for bankers".   I believe the bankers will proably not kneel at the alter of the government and run all the way to the bank laughing with their 2nd installment of taxpapers money.  It is possible that Axelrod did figure out that  Obama   is not the Messiah because Axelrod said  "he will not be delivering on stone tablets to the hill".

It is time to ban certain breeds of vicious dogs in populated areas.  A 3 year old girl in Watauga  is dead because her neighbor chose to keep a Rottweiler in their back  yard.    Pit Bulls and Rottweiler dogs have killed  and mauled too many innocent children.  Vicious dogs are vicious dogs and cities are no place for them.  Certain breeds of dogs have this vicious trait in them.   I can see possibly the need for a vicious dog to protect your junkyard, but I don't hear of junkyard dogs killing innocent children.   I have first hand knowledge of what a German Sheppard can do to a innocent child.  I belive in individual rights but this is one I feel needs to be looked at.  

A neighbor has 4 dogs and their back yard smells like a dog pound.    If the government  can tax  my farmer and rancher friends for their livestocks gaseous smells, they can tax the dog owners.  EPA is considering  taxing belching and gaseous, flatulent  cows and hogs.  $175.00  on dairy cows, $87.50 per head beef cattle and $20.00 for each hog.  It has been some time since I raised hogs for profit, but then $20.00 per hog was my  margin of profit.    After the government comes for your cows and hogs, they will then come for your dogs.
