This is just one of those things that completely cracked me up earlier this evening. It was the day when I receive a TON of fliers in the mail. One of the fliers was for a "Grand Opening" of a Dollar General store. All tagged items will be 50% off. Think about it. In my best Jay London voice......thank you. Enjoy
I still say that someone, somewhere is playing technological "chicken" with the terrorists. For the second time in the past month. a completely "bogus" statement was released to the media from "Al Tawhid and Jihad", Abu Mus'ab Al Zarqawy's group. The threat was allegedly against Japan, and their intrusion in Iraq. It forced Zarqawy's group to once again s
To historyishere Yeah, I saw that earlier today. I am anxiously awaiting more misconstrued statements from her. LLS
To: citahellion Yes I believe that your statement was her intent. But because there was such a vast amount of gray area in her comment, the fact that the dedication left the discussion wide open for supposition justifies my position, and my initial statement still holds true in that this person should not make political comments. If she is so intent on making a political statement, she needs a stable base for credibility. The fact
dubz It's PRIVATE PROPERTY. Ronstadt being kicked out of the the Aladdin iS not a "federal" or "political" issue. It is not any different than a restaurant requiring a dress shirt for a patron. If the Aladdin deemed that Ms. Ronstadt did not fit in with their code of conduct, they have every right to kick her to the curb. Regardless, my property is open. If Ms. Ronstadt want's to have a concert here, my property is
Yes, but who VOTED for these parties? It still comes down to you and me. LLS
And one more thing, if Ronstadt has, in the past, talked about Moore in a positive light, and the event at The Aladdin was merely "good natured ribbing" towards Moore, it proves my initial statement that she (Ronstadt) should not be making any political statements. Regardless of how biased or unbiased the media is, her political timing is far from impecable. She is not the loose cannon that I would want to have on the side of any political affiliatio
pseudosoldier No, don't get me wrong. I welcome your candor, and it is greatly appreciated. Certainly nothing against you personally. The things that I post on my blog are items that are in the "front of my brain" and I need to get off my chest. If my logic is slightly skewed, or misconstrued, hey....call me on it! That's what a discussion is all about! I will try to do better next time. If you've read the rest of my ent
pseudosoldier Thanks for the links. They really are insightful. As for the media being "idiots", that may have been out of turn. I read a lot of media sources daily, and I can't help but see most (if not all) of them to have an "agenda", political or otherwise. The point I was trying to make was IF Ronstadts comments were Pro-Bush, and a slightly-Democratic-leaning reporter would have been fooled/tricked by her comments, than t
I am thinking that Linda Ronstadt, at 58, should not be making political statements. The media is reporting her "dedication" to Michael Moore as anti-Bush. I see it otherwise. Lets dissect this a little. On Sunday, July 18, at her "one time only" performance at The Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas, she decided to spice up some of her music "dedications" with a
We are all familiar with the weekly Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) tests on radio and television. The interruption of regular broadcasting in lieu of a highly annoying noise, issued by the EBS, in order to test their system. http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/usa/c3i/ebs.htm I have several questions. One: Was this ever used on 9-11-2001?
I remember renting My Cousin Vinnie (1992) when it came to video in 1993 (+/-). At the time I thought it was a "likeable" video, but it was not a movie that, at the time, I would rate as a "classic". Since then, I have viewed bits and pieces of it on various networks, but not in it's entirety. Today I had the opportunity to watch it in it's entirety
I am completely tweaked right now, and bouncing off the walls! Over the past week, an unforseen "financial" issue has arisen with a close, personal friend of mine. Being the person I am, I am all for resolving this issue in a logical, rational manner. I will do what needs to be done. Period. And then came the comment. Actually, ther
Are you aware of the growing technology-savvy terrorists that are on the rise? Terrorists certainly aren't the 3rd-world, illiterate individuals as the general Western public perceives them to be. They are hacking website servers in an endeavor to proclaim their accomplishments, publicizing their rhetoric, and in some instances, offering their multimedia d

On Tuesday, everytime I tried to log in, I would get an error message about my browser "Not Accepting Cookies". The problem was, my browser IS accepting cookies! I am thinking that this login issue
I am curious as to why everyone, the general public, the politicians as well as the media giants, are so intent on "finger pointing"? Has anyone ever considered that the events of 9/11 occured because of multiple faults, across multiple agencies, over multiple generations? If you are a conspiracy theorist, then you will make an attempt to zero-in
Thank you. It will be edited. LLS

I am in a melancholy mood. Our Icons are succumbing to their mortality. We have lost Harrison, Entwhistle, DeForest Kelley, Reagan, Hope and Brando in the last 12 months. Michael J. Fox has Parkinson's. And today I read that James Doohan, "Scotty" from the original Star Trek series, has Alzheimer's. http://www.signonsandiego.com
I initially had the itch to say "I Wanna Rock!", but as it pertains to Twisted Sister, I pulled back. It's amazing how one catch phrase from a cheesey, unprofessional wanna-be-hair-band sticks in your head all these years. I guess from a marketing standpoint, they did very well for that particular catch phrase. The image comes to mind of leather-vested, inked males with their necks on a pivot, thrashing their heads to and fro. I amazed th
I will state up front that I do not follow tennis. I follow tennis the way I follow golf and Nascar, in which the 'winners" are generally noted, but not necessarily my forte' in a discussion. The "winners" are simply filed away in the dark caverns of my brain, never again to see the light of day either in speech or in writing. Enter Maria Sharapova.
Gideon MacLeish Ah! Yes! You are correct. I will edit my post. Thank you. LLS
Your aticle/post begs the question "Why did i start a Blog?" I started lenbert.joeuser.com for a number of reasons. I use to write VOLUMES in highschool and college, both prose and poetry I stopped writing about 20 years ago. Lately I have had an itch to get back into writting, not only from a journalistic standpoint, but also issues and ideas that I feel a need to get off my chest. A Blog offers me the incentive to
In 1996, Atlanta, Georgia hosted the Summer Olympic Games. Prior to the start of the events, I recall hearing and reading about the strict security precautions that were to be implemented. Yet somehow, something still went wrong. At approximately 1:00 AM, on Saturday, July 27, 1996, a pipe bomb exploded in Olympic Centennial Park. The pipe bomb, concealed in eithe
