Green is my favorite color, but green eggs and ham I do not like, Dr. Seuss
Brain thanks for the information on the jobs for the soldiers, I notified Peaches and she sent it out to other soldiers to make sure they got informed and apply. I got confused until you explained and with Peaches help I got to even send the website on email.
Mitt learned his lesson votes don't make a nominee, as Mitt is buying delegates/super delegates. Rick had to stop his campaign to go to DC for his employers the Health Insurance Companies. Newt is just staying in the race to help pay his high debt as now a picture with Newt cost 50 dollars. No word on Ron Paul.
I was listening to the comments about President Obama saying if he had a son he would look like Trayvon Martin. Are people really that stupid of course Trayvon would look like the President just look at his daughters. Trayvon even be President Clinton's son but he wouldn't exactly look like Bill Clinton. But I guess you can't fix stupid. Zimmermann has a troubled pass but at lease Trayvon's side of the story is heard on tape. The investigator was fired for finding Zimmermann charge with manslaughter. Let's hope Justice can be done and this law to kill repealed.
We had a little trimmer aka earthquake yesterday but nothing big.
I loved the come back to Mitt by President Medvedev as it shows the World is watching the comedy acts of US politics. The latest news is President George HW Bush will announce his endorsement of Mitt Romney. No word yet from President George W. Bush on his choice.
Secrets always come out as the UK is releasing documents that show the US acted to conceal evidence before the 9/11 attack. Look for more secrets to come out and none of it is good and will show why Spain and other countries have criminal charges pending against leaders of the USA. 2003 soldiers told families about many horror done, even the order to dumb dead soldiers bodies in landfills. But it does seem some Americans and their families who served in the Vietnam War see to much attention and help is being done for our soldiers today as little to nothing was done for the Vietnam Vets. One point missing from this issue is Vietnam had a Draft and all had to sign up even if many were Draft Dodgers. Afghanistan was about 9/11 and young people signing up to serve and Iraq was about an invasion that had no mission but oil fields.
have a great day
Jackie, I was skimming through a back issue of Harper's magazine, an article; reflections on terror and
loss in the shadow of September, and I quote just a few lines. "All this changed on September 11.
Today, again, the world narrative belongs to terrorists. But the primary target of the men who attacked
the Pentgon and the World Trade Center was not the global economy. It is America that drew their
fury. It is the high gloss of our modernity. It is the thrust of our technology. It is our perceived
godlessness. It is the blunt force of our foreign policy. It is the power of American culture to penetrate
every wall, home, life, and mind.......The sense of disarticulation we hear in the term "Us and Them"
has never been so striking, at either end. We cAn tell ourselves that whatever we've done to
inspire bitterness, distrust, and rancor, it was not so damnable as to bring this day down on our heads.
But there is no logic to apocalypse." 9/11 was our Pearl Harbor. Phyllis
I didn't get to read that article Phyllis but I do remember the following
July 4th 2001 I took my bad nephew to Sandy Hook and he looked over to New York City the view of WTC was beautiful. Aug. 16, 2001 I had a job interview with Natasha Mason at the World Trade Center Tower 2 in the office of Dean Witter and the 78th floor. It was the first time I had ever been in the Towers and yes I got there early and got to walk around before my interview. I was in Mrs. Mason's office and the view was over looking Central Park. She was very nice and offered me the job. Now because of this visit/interview I did follow the events. As I live in Jersey and we saw the second plane circle the second Tower. As for what I know the direct hit was to 77th floor number 2 Tower and 93 on number 1 Tower. Many remember but Mrs. Mason died and I always remember her and the others who died. I often wonder why I was offered the job and how I decided to wait before excepting her offer.
Jackie, thanks for sharing.
For those following the Trayvon Martin case and were confused why Zimmerman was quickly let go and never really bothered by the Police. The answer is the following http://rollingout.com/culture/george-zimmerman-son-of-a-retired-judge-has-3-closed-arrests/ Yes Zimmerman's Dad is a retired Magistrate Judge and it's why officials are talking and why this case was brushed under the rug. Today MSNBC reported the State Attorney and Police Chief spoke at the time if the crime and a decision was made no charges. Many people questioned why no evidence was taken, no drug/alcohol test and no pictures as the this case was covered up to protect a fomer Judge's son. The truth and secrets always come out. The law in Florida allow for murder if a thought of fear but the Federal Charges will stand. NBC is the only station giving up dated coverage of the sad story.
How quickly the Duke lacrosse team open and shut case has been forgotten!!!!!!!!!
Good Evening Mr.Williams, a fine broadcast this Wednesday evening and looking forward to Rock Center at 10pm tonight.
First of all the report by Mr.Costello about the Jet Blue pilot who had a meltdown during a flight. It was certainly a frightening experience for the passengers, but the First Officer truly did a good thing by having the Jet Blue Captain leave the cockpit and allow an off duty Captain to come into the cockpit to secure the cockpit and keep the Jet Blue Captain out. The passengers who subdued the Jet Blue Captain after he tried to get back into the cockpit really did a heroic job. As the Captain ranted on with comments it was telling he was having a breakdown and the passengers prevented this incident from ending much more tragically with the plane crashing. The First Officer, Flight Attendants and passengers saved lives with their actions. A terrible and tragic incident.
The report from Andrea Mitchell from Havana told of a historic mass in Revolution Square celebrated by Pope Benedict XVI. Even though there was criticism it was certainly a historic liturgy and mass.
The "Hiring Our Heroes" program seems to be a great joint project and hiring a returning Veteran is truly a wondeful thing for any employer. Hopefully, with so many job fairs happening in different cities there will be many Veterans who are hired.
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 Good Care Richard and Crew!

Brian, I saw Rock Center last night and I would like to comment on "anything goes" during an election. Attacks
on the candidates, to be specific, and especially with hurtful jokes. And I know Justice Scali would disagree with
me because he once said something like when a joke is really funny all bets are off. And let the chips fall where
they may, in effect. I don't buy it. UnAmerican, in my mind. I am not saying Justice Scali is not a good
American, just saying I vehemently disagree with him about hurtful jokes at the expense of our sitting presidents
and politicans
