Little Green

One of the casualties of Hurricane Katrina was the city sponsored curbside recycling program.  Before the storm, I faithfully filled my little blue bin and placed it by the street every week for the recycling truck to come by and empty.  Did I make a real impact?  In a city that measures the success of an event by the tons of trash produced, probably not.  But it sure did make

As they danced, they sang: "Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands." Saul was very angry; this refrain galled him. "They have credited David with tens of thousands," he thought, "but me with only thousands. What more can he get but the kingdom?" And from that time on Saul kept a jealous eye on David. - 1 Samuel 18:7-9 It's hard for me to hear the word "jealousy" and not think of the 45 my older sister, Michelle, had of the song "Jealousy (Little Green Man)" by Al Thomas. I must have heart that scratched-up song at least a hundred times, but I can't for the life of me remember how the song goes except for a few lines from the chorus. To my defense, I was only like 9 or 10 when I heard it that much. (Michelle would get into a song or record and play it over and over and over.) Like many songs we "remember", we can only remember only really very little of it. When I actually did know the song, I rememb

Northeast Ohio is apparently a UFO "hotspot." If you threw a stone out a car window, you'd be practically guaranteed to hit some nut who saw some blurry lights once and therefore just knows that the space brothers will be here soon to help us all become part of the intergalactic hippie crowd. One of them is local homeless musician Sam Phillips: Phillips taped a strange light spinning and hovering over the Key Bank Tower on March 10, during a peace rally. "This is not about me," says Phillips, who admits he has become obsessed with what he saw that night. "There's a pattern here. There's a riddle here. And I want answers. I want an explanation." He believes it wasn't coincidence the sighting took place over a peace rally. During the sighting, he recalls saying that our "brothers and sisters are going to come down from the universe and humble our ass." Another is fellow musician (not homeless, though) Michael Lee Hill: "I've had contact my whole life," he says. "I remember asking

It's about damned time average everyday people started having their say against the evil of political correctness and call a spade a spade. In this case it's calling a terrorist supporter and sympathizer a terrorist supporter and sympathizer and to hell with the lefts hand wringing about us not appreciating the diversity of the Religion of Peace ™. $5 says the media and Democrats in general paint this as a bunch of rabble rousing rednecks and racists. ~RJH Little Green Footballs article link Protest Against CAIR Commissioner in New YorkThere’s a protest planned tonight in Manhattan beginning at 7 pm, to demand that Mayor Michael Bloomberg fire Omar Mohammedi from the NYC Commission on Human Rights.When Mr. Mohammedi isn’t guarding human rights for New York City, he serves as president of the New York branch of the Hamas-linked radical Islamic front group called the Council on American Islamic Relations, and he’s the lawyer who plans to sue unnamed “John Doe” airline passengers

After much fretting on my part, my two-year-old daughter Corrie's vocabulary is finally beginning to blossom.  But she still has plenty of gibberish to share with us, often using the same nonsensical words repeatedly.  A particular favorite of hers is "GEICO!"  Yes, that one.  But the funny part is that every time she says it, nine-year-old Adam shouts loudly and quickly, "FIFTEEN MINUTES ON THE PHONE COULD SAVE YOU FIFTEEN PERCENT OR MORE ON CAR INSURANCE!"  Corrie roars with laughter, shouts "GEICO!" again, and...well, you get where this is going.  Shouldn't I be getting some commission for this?
