Somali pirates seize cargo ship, 21 U.S. sailors
Seeded on Wed Apr 8, 2009 8:11 AM EDT (msnbc.com)
I am back and upset that with all the press, we still see this happening. Now with US citizens. Now is the time for military action and to hold the country where the operations are based, accountable.

Woman Charged For Sitting in ER for 19 Hours
Seeded on Wed Oct 22, 2008 10:44 AM EDT (msnbc.com)
I get it. A auto mechanic can charge you for telling you your tire is low on air. A contractor can charge you for telling you that you need a new roof. And Best Buy can charge you when you are only looking for a new TV because your old one died.
Biden: John, stop these calls!
Seeded on Tue Oct 21, 2008 9:46 PM EDT (CNN)
I think there are better things to worry about in this country. Why does John tell people that Barack is a good family man and a christiain, and would make a good president, then turn around and pull crap like this?

Seeded on Tue Sep 9, 2008 11:50 AM EDT (msnbc.com)
With the growing discontent with Americans, both with the current war in Iraq and the government and it's policy, I can see how many Americans would want to join such a group.

McCain Ad displays "HANG" above Obama's head
Seeded on Thu Aug 28, 2008 4:03 AM EDT (Daily Kos)
Remember in 2000 when the Bush campaign released an ad that "accidentally" dropped the "Democ" off of "Democrats" in one frame, leaving only the rats behind? Apparently Rove's buddies are at it again, this time chopping off the C and E from "CHANGE".

You would think that more important things would come across the desk of a local prosecutor. I guess suspending her library card was not an option.

Obama defends McCain when voter criticizes his Vietnam era record
Seeded on Mon Aug 18, 2008 9:16 AM EDT (CNN)
At least he has enough integrity to honor McCains service. All should honor a vets service to the country. Even if you don't agree with him. A lesson could be learned from this freshman.

Sat Aug 16, 2008 11:09 PM EDT

The Police Can't Do Their Job Without 24/7 Curfew for Everyone.
Seeded on Sun Aug 10, 2008 1:54 PM EDT (CNN)
I can not see punishing everyone in the neighborhood for the acts of a few. If the police would just do their job, and people would take responsibility for their own areas, things would be much easier.

Hey cranky, Thank you. I used to tell the new guys that we fight for democracy but this ain't one. It's a dictatorship and I'm the dic with the tators.
;-) We need some good old fashioned disipline and respect brought to this new generation. Glad to meet you.

I just noticed today 8/26/08 that you weren't on my friends list, Cranky. I could have sworn I did that weeks ago. Call it a senior moment. Sorry - you know you belonged on my best buds list long before now. At least I had you on there "in spirit!"
Thank you cranky (not so old) man for your service. I and my children honor you. We honor you. Thank you.
Thank you for your service to this country. I have a lot of respect and admiration for special forces.
