Good Evening Mr.Williams, A fine broadcast this Tuesday evening as always. Happy Mardi Gras!

First of all the report by Andrea Mitchell about faith being a huge issue in the political campaign. So many attacks between Republican Candidate Rick Santorum and Repubilcan Candidate Mitt Romney it certainly resonates with voters. With all the campaign advertisments on the television it will be hard to predict how the voters will respond on the primary days.

The terrible situations in the Middle East regions seem to be never ending. The continuing violence in Syria with the crackdown by the Syrian Government makes the people in the region in a desperate need of help. The relentless attacks on the city of Homs is so very tragic ans awful with the forces surrounding the city. Too many innocent lives lost.

Also, one hopes Iran will not strike against Israel and things will remain peaceful.

The report by Anne Thompson and Ian Williams about debris from the tsunami possibly arriving along the West Coast of the United States is staggering. The volume of debris from all structures destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami is incredible and may not all end up along the West Coast. It is something which will take years to clean-up.

Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Williams. Peace to You and to All!

Be Well Everyone!

Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard!

Take Extra,Extra Good Care Richard and Crew!

    What a day as many wish there was a real Republican in the race. As Americans continue to need jobs and so many are suffering all we hear is attacks on women and now insanity about religion. Some honesty from the Koch Bros. who admitted they hope to buy the election and seem to feel they have been successful in the pass. Gingrich is looking for his billionaire backer to give him 100 million dollars to take the White House. President Obama wised up and approved of his team starting PAC.

    The high Court is dealing with Affirmative Action because a student felt she was refused because of other students. At lease President Bush got to benefit from Affirmative Action as he spoke about when it was hard for him to get in college with low grades. We wouldn't need Affirmative Action or even a Civil Rights Bill if we could need racism. The good news is interracial marriages are increasing and with luck all this will not be needed.

    With the gas prices blame on Obama it seems many have forgotten 2008 when the prices were over four dollars and reaching five. The blame went to everyone accept President Bush. We saw it was all a fix for Oil Companies to get the biggest profit in history. Now the excuse in Obama and Iran while many Americans know we don't even get much of our oil from Iran. The GOP really know how to play Americans by spilling the fake stories. President Obama gave a full speech explaining how the tricks are played to raise the oil prices but it seems Americans weren't listening.

    have a great evening all
