Koran Burning, Mayor Daley and them funny french

SEPTEMBER 8, 2010


The White Sox just cannot get a break. Through Monday, they had won seven games in a row and only picked up one game in the standings on Minnesota. It is not easy to win seven games in a row in Major League Baseball. You should get rewarded for your effort with more than just gaining one game. Now two, the Sox lost and Twins won on Tues.

This is suicide prevention week. Help a friend or acquaintance if you suspect someone has suicide issues, at least get their family involved. It is never bad enough to take yourself out but, unfortunately, it happens way too often. The least you can do is say a prayer for your troubled friend.

The NFL starts its season on Thursday, with most games this Sunday. Send me your prediction for the Bears’ game this Sunday. They play Detroit at noon Chicago time.

If you are in the military, know someone in the military or just want to keep current with our military, you should go to and save the website below;

I was watching a TV shoe on Discovery channel about Adolph Hitler’s family. This program reported that Hitler had Jewish blood in his family tree. Adolph Hitler eventually had the home town of his ancestors destroyed so the rumor of Jewish blood in Hitler’s family could never be proved or even investigated. The name ‘Hitler’ is outlawed in Germany. I also read somewhere years ago that the last name Hitler was not listed in any phone book in America. Of course, that was when there were phone books.

The bombing of London, called The Blitz, ordered by Hitler near the beginning of World War II began on September 7, 1940. London was bombed for 76 consecutive nights. The Blitz ended on May 10, 1941. This was well after the initial 76 consecutive nights of bombing. The British spirit was dampened but never broken. They held on after the Blitz ended hoping the United States would enter the War. We tried to stay out of it while offering assistance to Britain and other European nations fighting Hitler. The Japanese made our mind up for us on December 7, 1941.

The Dove World Outreach Center, a nondenominational church in Gainesville, Florida is having a Koran burning event on Saturday, September 11, 2010, the ninth anniversary of the 9-11 attacks. The small church’s leader, Rev. Terry Jones calls Islam a religion “of the devil”. The burning ceremony is from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the church.

This story is being made much bigger than it deserves. It is similar to Paris Hilton. She is famous for being famous. This story is a story because we are told it is a story. Without the publicity, less than ten people likely would have shown up.

Like the building of the Mosque near Ground-zero, I know they have the right to do what they are planning to do, but is it necessary. Why wake a sleeping bear?

General David Petraeus has now gotten involved. He claims the planned protest will upset some Muslims and make them resent us and potentially put are soldiers at risk. Didn’t the last General that spoke up about political matters get fired within days by Pres. Obama? Perhaps Gen. Petraeus thinks the people in Iraq and Afghanistan like us walking their streets with full body armor on and weapons loaded. The thoughts or feelings of foreigners has got to stop determining our foreign and domestic policy. Gen Petraeus apparently thinks we are trying to find bowlers to fill-up our bowling team in Iraq and Afghanistan rather than run their country.

Good luck Mayor Daley. Did word get to you that you are about to be arrested. Mayor Daley’s wife is ill with cancer and not doing well. That is too bad. You have my condolences. I bet the authorities wait to arrest you until after your wife dies.

Did you see the advertisement for Courrier International, a French Newspaper. The ad was designed by Saatchi Saatchi France, a French advertising design company. The newspaper’s tag line is “Learn to anticipate”. The advertising shows the World Trade Center buildings much shorter than they were. The picture shows two airplanes above the shorter buildings, missing the buildings as they fly over because someone anticipated the 9/11 attacks. BOY THEM FROGS, YOU GOT TO LOVE THEM.
