I have yet to contact her to see if she edited them out, maybe she did.BB2http://bluebear2.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594366310437242857.post-2152346151995441882010-03-27T00:46:06.016-04:002010-03-27T00:46:06.016-04:00You know what's funny?

You expect me to believe, that the CIA, months later, said: "Oh, yeah! There was a birthday cake there!" And they forgot this at the time of the original story. Months later they think it's important to tell us this. Does this make any sense at all? The CIA "recalled" months later, that they had a birthday cake for this guy. WE BETTER TELL THE PRESS ABOUT THE BIRTHDAY CAKE!

Who on earth is gonna pay for this damned health care program anyway? I am sick of this game that you democrats are playing, and you can rest assured that the next administration will be REPUBLICAN. Frankly, I am tired of working 15-18 hours a day, only to come home half dead, just so the lazy demos can get their health care benefits on my dime. What they say is true...life is what you make it. You should have PLANNED for health care. I certainly did. My job as manager of a floor waxing/buffering company provides me with excellent health care. I work for it. I get it. I earned it. Nobody ever gave me anything for free. So I think those folks who are uninsured should do some intense soul-searching, and work for your benefits. The country would be a lot better off.James Rottweilingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594366310437242857.post-76978072529996811942010-03-27T00:02:21.866-04:002010-03-27T00:02:21.866-04:00Blogger commenting all wacky today...Blogger commenting all wacky today...BB2http://bluebear2.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594366310437242857.post-87817189153924703722010-03-26T23:56:00.711-04:002010-03-26T23:56:00.711-04:00http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0325/chomsky-us-israel...http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0325/chomsky-us-israel/plungernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594366310437242857.post-27893780163051366442010-03-26T23:54:09.753-04:002010-03-26T23:54:09.753-04:00did W or didn't he?

Not only does it stress measures to reduce energy use, but also calls for locally produced renewable materials - within 500 miles, recycled materials, low environmental impact, and habitat preservation. (The building was reconfigured three times and moved on the property to preserve existing vernal pools. New wetland areas were created on the property to replace the area occupied by the building.)<br /><br />Sorry to toot my own horn, but after two and a half years in development and eight months in construction to find that my design moved them into the Gold category is exciting news.<br /><br />The owners also received over $250,000 in credits from PG&E under their <i>Savings by Design</i> program based on the energy savings produced by the design.<br /><br />I'm working on a new post for my Photo Gallery pertaining to the wine storage building. I'll let you know when I post it.BB2http://bluebear2.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594366310437242857.post-9789264239840784832010-03-26T23:49:15.090-04:002010-03-26T23:49:15.090-04:00What gets me about the media is all the "Aver...What gets me about the media is all the "Average Joes" they show giving patently false information. Such as people on the street who they ask about the health care issue and reply with "Most Americans don't want health care to change." Not an informed answer, but rather some talking point. I've seen it many times when in fact surveys have shown over 80% of Americans do in fact want change.<br /><br />It applies to all kinds of subjects, throw up an "Average Joe" and spout whatever is convenient. People will associate with "Joe" more easily than some politician or actor.BB2http://bluebear2.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594366310437242857.post-8826455916781746142010-03-26T23:48:45.832-04:002010-03-26T23:48:45.832-04:00A video grab from an undated footage from the Inte...A video grab from an <b>undated</b> footage <i>from the Internet</i> shows Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden making statements from an <i>unknown</i> location. <br /><br />http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE62O2FW20100325<br /><br /><b>BE AFRAID - BE VERY AFRAID!</b>BB2http://bluebear2.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
