Some of the crap that even second graders in Rexburg, Idaho were chanting on school buses scares the heck out of me. A&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;s screwed up as our country is now, we surely don&#039;t need to be fighting our fellow citizens just because some nitwit does something stupid. It&#039;s not Obama&#039;s skin color that bothers me, it&#039;s his choice of &amp;quot;friends&amp;quot; and the things he claims to stand for. In fact, it&#039;d be interesting to see what the good&amp;nbsp;results of his time in the White House would be. We&#039;re all Americans, let&#039;s fight shoulder to shoulder, not face to face.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

To borrow an old phrase, &amp;quot;YES, VIRGINIA, THERE WERE WMDs IN IRAQ&amp;quot; in spite of what our CHICKEN POOP, sorry *ssed media has been berating GWB about for 5 years. A tip of Rusty&#039;s dirty old ballcap to a REAL AMERICAN for enduring all the flak for the good of the people.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.newsweek.com/id/144703/output/print&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Newsweek story&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; has even more details.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;BACKGROUND-COLOR: #00ffff&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It seems the presence of the yellow cake, which was not concentrated enough to make a bomb but could be used to make a &amp;ldquo;dirty bomb&amp;rdquo; was known to the US government and US Army and even the UN, but it&amp;rsquo;s presence was not publicized for fear that it would be looted. And there was quite a bit of the stuff lying around: 550 metric tons of it. It is now in Canada. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;BACKGROUND-COLOR: #00ffff&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;in a year when politics rules, it is interesting to note that the Bush administration kept the presence of this site secret from the general public while taking hysterical criticism from the same far left (&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;CHICKEN POOP&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Rusty&#039;s sentiments) groups who birthed the Obama campaign&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;.. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;BACKGROUND-COLOR: #00ffff&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;So the irony is that, to keep the presence secret from local thugs associated with terrorists until the huge amount of partially enriched uranium could be removed, the anti war left was allowed to repeat it&amp;rsquo;s lies that it didn&amp;rsquo;t exist at all.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

We all carry our mobile phones with names &amp;amp; numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS&quot; size=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 24pt; FONT-FAMILY: &#039;Comic Sans MS&#039;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 24pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn&#039;t know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this &#039;ICE&#039; (In Case of Emergency) Campaign &lt;br /&gt;
The concept of &#039;ICE&#039; is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell(mobile) phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name &#039;ICE&#039; ( In Case Of Emergency). &lt;br /&gt;
The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn&#039;t know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have stored as &#039;ICE.&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference!&lt;br /&gt;
Let&#039;s spread the concept of ICE by storing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS&quot; size=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 24pt; FONT-FAMILY: &#039;Comic Sans MS&#039;&quot;&gt; an ICE number in our&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 24pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial&quot;&gt; Mobile phones today!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS&quot; color=&quot;#ff007f&quot; size=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 24pt; COLOR: #ff007f; FONT-FAMILY: &#039;Comic Sans MS&#039;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Please forward this. It won&#039;t take too many &#039;forwards&#039; before everybody will know about this&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS&quot; size=&quot;6&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 24pt; FONT-FAMILY: &#039;Comic Sans MS&#039;&quot;&gt;.&lt;font color=&quot;#ff007f&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: #ff007f&quot;&gt; It really could save your life, or put a loved one&#039;s mind at rest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;.

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Some people have nothing but praises for MS WORKS 9.0. Others say, &amp;quot;it&#039;s not worth the money but it came free on my new computer.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; For one who&#039;s used MS WORD and XP for years, it&#039;s frustrating trying to learn VISTA and WORKS.&amp;nbsp;In my NOT SO HUMBLE OPINION, it&#039;s like AOL, people who&#039;ve never used anything else think it&#039;s just great. Many companies and publishers require WORD for resumes and story submittals.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Sherry Cook has lots more time to mess with such things and told me this, &amp;quot;People who&amp;nbsp;hate Vista are like the guy who always used an outhouse, when they got a flush toilet he refused to use it because he didn&#039;t understand how to use it.&amp;quot; Was this a &amp;quot;crappy&amp;quot; remark, however true in my case?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
As of November 5, 2008, when President Obama is officially elected into office, our company will instill a few new policies which are in keeping with his new, inspiring issues of change and fairness:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#0000ff&quot; size=&quot;4&quot; family=&quot;SANSSERIF&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: Arial&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;American Typewriter&quot; color=&quot;#0000ff&quot; size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: &#039;American Typewriter&#039;&quot;&gt;All salespeople will be pooling their sales and bonuses into a common pool that will be divided equally between all of you.&amp;nbsp; This will serve to give those of you who are underachieving a fair shake.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
2.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#0000ff&quot; size=&quot;4&quot; family=&quot;SANSSERIF&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;American Typewriter&quot; color=&quot;#0000ff&quot; size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: &#039;American Typewriter&#039;&quot;&gt;All low level workers will be pooling their wages, including overtime, into a common pool, dividing it equally amongst yourselves.&amp;nbsp; This will help those who are too busy for overtime to reap the rewards from those who have more spare time and can work extra hours.&lt;br /&gt;
3.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#0000ff&quot; size=&quot;4&quot; family=&quot;SANSSERIF&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: Arial&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;American Typewriter&quot; color=&quot;#0000ff&quot; size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: &#039;American Typewriter&#039;&quot;&gt;All top management will now be referred to as the government.&amp;nbsp; We will not participate in this pooling experience because the law doesn&#039;t apply to us.&lt;br /&gt;
4.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#0000ff&quot; size=&quot;4&quot; family=&quot;SANSSERIF&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FNT-SIZE: 13.5pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;American Typewriter&quot; color=&quot;#0000ff&quot; size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: &#039;American Typewriter&#039;&quot;&gt;The government will give eloquent speeches to all employees every week, encouraging it&#039;s workers to continue to work hard for the good of all.&lt;br /&gt;
5.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#0000ff&quot; size=&quot;4&quot; family=&quot;SANSSERIF&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: Arial&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;American Typewriter&quot; color=&quot;#0000ff&quot; size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt; COLOR: blue; FONT-FAMILY: &#039;American Typewriter&#039;&quot;&gt;The employees will be thrilled with these new policies because it&#039;s&lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt; good to spread the wealth.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;Those of you who have underachieved will finally get an opportunity; those of you who have worked hard and had success will feel more &lt;font color=&quot;#ff0000&quot;&gt;patriotic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;6.&amp;nbsp; The last few people who were ired should clean out their desks.&amp;nbsp; Don&#039;t feel bad, though, because President Obama will give you free healthcare, free handouts, free oil for heating your home, free foodstamps, and he&#039;ll let you stay in your home for as long as you want even if you can&#039;t pay your mortgage.&amp;nbsp; If you appeal directly to our democratic congress, you might even get a free flatscreen TV and a coupon for free haircuts (shouldn&#039;t all Americans be entitled to nice looking hair?) !!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If for any reason you are not happy with the new policies,&amp;nbsp; you may want to rethink your vote on&amp;nbsp; November 4th. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

                <itunes:summary>&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BEWARE of those little wrist fitting blood pressure cuffs. We&#039;ll spare you most of the details. When asked, &amp;quot;Mom, do you have a blood pressure cuff?&amp;quot; She proudly jumped up, said &amp;quot;Yes&amp;quot; and opened a box containing what I call a TOY cuff. The extra high initial reading was suspect, as were the next few which were progressively higher.&amp;nbsp; The waitress&amp;nbsp; at the cafe is a nurse, when she saw what was happening she strongly recommended, &amp;quot;If you were my patient you would on your way to the ER. Take it one more time for me.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; The 253&amp;nbsp;/138 reading finally got my consent to call 911&amp;nbsp;even though there were no physical feelings of distress. When the fireman checked, his cuff read 140/82. &amp;quot;That&#039;s normal for me. Just cancel the ambulance.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Too late, they&#039;re comin&#039; in the door now.&amp;quot; In spite of the GOOD readings they got, they convinced me, &amp;quot;It wouldn&#039;t hurt to get checked out just in case.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; When my sister arrived&amp;nbsp; at the hospital to haul me back to Mom&#039;s house she reported, &amp;quot;I wish they&#039;d&#039;ve told me you were using that cuff.&amp;nbsp; Deborah (her daughter) nearly went to the hospital because of using one of those until we got a different cuff.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; It&#039;d be a good idea to have your personal cuffa calibrated at a local medical facility. Do you have any suggestions?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ALSO, you have every right to demand that&amp;nbsp; those taking your BP show you a current calibration sticker.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</itunes:summary>
