An Update on Carly
If you are new to this blog you may not know about our 11 year old, Carly. She had major surgery 5 weeks ago to repair her hip and control her tone in her legs. Carly has CP and Epilepsy. She has never eaten quite like she should (intake of nutrition) but since the surgery she has really slowed down on intake. We decided Friday that we really needed to have her readmitted and a workup done. That's where we are right now. Please keep us in your prayers as Kathy and I both continue working, plus trading off on hospital stays and Zak helps where he can. This hospital stay shouldn't be as draining as the previous stay.....we hope.

Where are all the whiners now?
All those rock throwers who criticized President Bush and FEMA post-Katrina are silent now. They were quick to scream and yell about how Bush and Brown didn't react fast enough with relief efforts (when in fact the real problem was with New Orleans Mayor Nagin and Louisiana Governor Blanco), Bush and FEMA did an outstadnign job this time.....but where's the praise? It simply solidifies charges that some Liberals will use any and all opportunities to discredit this Administration but will always look the other way when it comes to the accomplishments......fair and balanced.....NOT

Palin serves a knockout punch at Republican Convention
Senator John McCain, the Republican Party nominee (officially as of tonight) made one heck of a choice in choosing Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. Kathy and I were about 50 feet away from the stage in her "coming out" last week right here in Dayton. While I think we both had questions initially, as soon as she opened her mouth, we both knew this was history. She attacked Obama last night(in a respectful and honest way) leaving little room from rebuttal. Her smile will knock you over and her tenacity will sweep you off your feet. Palin is the future of the party, and the country.

Today on Expressions II with Mike Scinto:
Last night Senator Joe Biden, in his acceptance speech, said his mother’s creed is the American creed; No one is better than you, everyone is your equal, and everyone is equal to you. Mike Scinto says “That couldn’t be more wrong, unfair and un-American.” Scinto adds “It’s perfect liberal thinking but that’s what’s wrong with America now; people all think they’re equal.”
Scinto says he absolutely believes that all men are created equal. He adds “It’s what you do with your gifts, Blessings and talents that says there are people who are better than you and people who are worse than you.” Scinto says he sure hopes he’s not equal to some bum or deadbeat who’s chosen to throw his or her life away.
What’s your take? Scinto’s here. Don’t miss a minute of it Thursday (today) at Noon exclusively on
1210 AM WDAO.

If you heard a “WHOOSH” last Saturday, it wasn’t a tornado or wind storm blowing through The Valley. It was the sound of those of us who are McCain supports breathing a collective sigh of relief at Barack Obama’s choice for VP. He contradicts much of what Barry claims to stand for. And he compliments the other weak points of the Dem platform.
Delaware Senator Joe Biden knows something about Presidential campaigning. He ought to, he’s tried enough and been turned down resoundingly by voters.
Obama wants CHANGE in Washington. So let’s grab a guy who’s been there in the same position since Richard Nixon won his second term in the White House. Now there’s a fresh face on the scene. Talk about “business as usual”! You can’t build your entire campaign platform on a single word, change, then choose a political dinosaur as your running mate.
Another contradiction; you have a man heading the ticket who not only doesn’t support our war on terror, but has opposed the Iraq War from day one to the point he voted against funding our troops already in place in Afghanistan and Iraq. Biden, to his credit, knew the funding had to go through and gave a thumbs-up.
Then there are those wonderful Biden quotes about his team leader: "I think he can be ready, but right now I don't believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training” from the August 2007 Primary debate. Did Barack gain that wealth of experience during the following year of campaigning or was Biden simply spewing rhetoric? Which Joe Biden do we believe?
And Obama has claimed to want to keep his race out of this campaign. But he chooses, as his running mate, a man who says "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." Biden later apologized for his comments but, again, which Senator Joe do we believe?
Obama is of the new “tech” generation. He announced his choice of Biden (after a couple of major leaks) via text message at 3:00 AM on supporters’ cell phones. He is “sound-bite savvy”. On the other hand you have Biden who makes his answers to simple questions a dissertation. That’s not something that goes well with the media, or the public. It comes across sounding like political mumbo-jumbo.
Yes, a big “Thank you” goes out to Barack Obama for choosing the candidate who is least likely to land him on Pennsylvania Avenue. Now if my guy can just do what I told him in a recent column and keep a low profile he’ll do fine. Let the opponents be their own worst enemy while McCain and Romney (oops, did I let the cat out of that bag) just sit back and watch their poll numbers grow.
