Plenty . What's wrong with people that would name their babies after some of the worst people who ever lived?

Sorry, but this time justice will be served. By the way, Elvis wants his glasses back.

...and it seems he'll do anything to get it!

A most excellent breakfast meet-up at Windy Hollow Restaurant. Owensboro Twitterites meeting for the first time IRL: (Me)@halfacent, @nedrubwerd, @tatrtalk, & @a20s.

It hasn't been that long! This was in September when Hurricane Ike came through.

Mr. Rickard entertained a modest sized audience at the "Crazy Scorpion" in Owensboro on Nov. 21st.

It's unbelievable what some people will take as the truth. The following is from an actual Letter to the Editor of the Owensboro (Ky) Messenger-Inquirer , which was purportedly taken from an NRA publication: Obama wants to take away your firearms The following was printed in the September issue of NRA Rifleman magazine: Barack Obama’s 10- Point Plan to “Change” The Second Amendment: 1. Ban use of firearms for home defense. 2. Pass federal laws eliminating your right-to-carry. 3. Ban the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns. 4. Close down 90 percent of the gun shops in America. 5. Ban rifle ammunition commonly used for hunting and sport shooting. 6. Increase federal taxes on guns and ammunition by 500 percent. 7. Restore voting rights for 5 million criminals including those who have been convicted of using a gun to commit a violent crime. 8. Expand the Clinton semi-auto ban to include millions more firearms. 9. Mandate a government-issued license to purchase a firearm. 10. ...

I got this from Kim Komando , and it's certainly worth repeating! Find free eye exams You work hard and pay your bills. But sometimes you need a little help getting by. Maybe your employer doesn't provide vision insurance. Or, maybe you don't qualify because you work part-time. VISION USA is here to help! It provides free basic eye health services for those who are uninsured and low-income. Eligibility requirements vary from state to state. But, generally, one member of your household must be working. You cannot have had an eye exam in two years. To get started, complete an application. You'll be matched with a volunteer doctor of optometry. You'll pay nothing for your eye exam. And, in some states, you may receive eyeglasses at no cost or for a small fee. Know someone who could benefit from VISION USA? Forward this to them now! They'll appreciate the extra help. http://www.aoa.org

Well, I guess it's officially over, Obama won. But wait! It's still only October?!? Somebody better tell the Republicans they still have a chance, since they're resorting to personal attacks , and trying to frighten people into voting for their candidates.

With accusations flying around faster than anyone can possibly keep up, here's a great article that sums-up all the claims in one place!

Excuse me, but can you help me? I'm trying to find the definition to the following word: Irony I'm having a little trouble understanding a policy that states, not in so many words, that "A woman can run the White House, just not her own house."

I'll admit it, not only did I forget to watch the first presidential debate, I didn't want to remember it either. I was too busy watching my car rust. However, I will be glued to the set Thursday for the vice presidential debate! After Katie Couric outed Sarah Palin as a complete airhead, I can't wait to see her go down in flames, and McCain's campaign as well.

As I sit here in the pre-dawn hours of yet another Monday, I have decided to set aside my contemplations of who I will vote for in the coming election. My brother will probably tell you he never had any doubts about my choice, but I really did. This country needs, in my opinion, a hurricane relief effort of, enormous proportions. The United States of America has been through the worst eight years of contemporary history. Not since the American Civil War has the country been so divided, by partisan politics. Not since the Great Depression , has the economy been so tattered. Not since the Vietnam War , has the U.S. been embroiled in an unpopular war, that showed no signs of ending. I could go on, but you get the picture. Today's young people need to be inspired to kick this country in the seat of it's pants, and start the next revolution, like President Kennedy did back in the 1960's. These people are just what this country needs to be dragged into the situation, kick...
