I was watching Jay Leno the other night and he had three people on playing the current events/history game. Can you believe that there are people out there that ignorant? I just can't believe that people do not know American current events or history. He showed them a picture of JFK and one woman knew who he was, but thought he was famous for dating Marilyn Monroe. Bobby Kennedy was having the affair with Marilyn and since his wife was home pregnant he met with Marilyn at the White House, thus everyone thought JFK was having the affair with Marilyn. So, I am leaving tomorrow to go to Florida and then my grandson's high school graduation at Clemson, SC. But, when I get back in June, I'm going to start blogging history and political science lessons, so stay tuned. Also, my friends feature isn't working again and I can't seem to get the e-mail and audio to work either. What is it with MSN, nothing seems to work right or for long.

To Christ Follower and God Bless This Christian Home, I have received your request to be friends; however, I can't get the accept feature to work.

While reading the CNN.com articles online today, I came across an article on a 10-year old boy named Moshe who is already a college student. He is about to finish his associates degree and move on to a 4-year university program. Moshe wants to study the wormhole/black hole phenomenon and its relationship to Einstein’s theories pertaining to time travel. As Moshe says, “I want to prove that Einstein’s theories are correct.” Well, Moshe, I hope that you do, I need that Star Trek teleporter. What really struck me about Moshe’s article was his assertion that all students can accomplish what he has. “If students stay focused on their studies, any level of academic success is achievable.” You’re right, Moshe. Students who “stay focused” on their studies, and avoid the social temptations, do achieve higher academic levels. Most students working on high school and college academia fall prey to peer pressures and social interactions. Then, too, most college students are not 10 years old. But, no matter how much parents pressure kids to study hard and excel in school, it’s ultimately the student who must “stay focused” and achieve academic goals. Not that a parent’s efforts should go unlauded; but, parents can’t live their lives or attain unaccomplished goals through their children. The child will obtain their own goals, or not, through their own hard work, by “staying focused.” So, congratulations, Moshe. I’m looking forward to that time traveling

Sorry, I haven't blogged for quite awhile; but, things have been really busy here. We're finishing our workshop for our business. Finally got the electricity hooked up, put in heaters and air-conditioning. Now we're working on the insulation and then the drywall. Things are finally coming together. Take a look at our workshop pictures. Now to the political scene. I think it's time for Hillary to throw in the towel and let the Democrats get on with the show. It's time that Americans faced the fact that our system of government is broken. Criminals in the country have more rights than victims. Congress members and senators sell their votes to big corporations for the Almighty Dollar. Americans need to take back the government that as founded for the people, by the people, of the people and, we, my friends, are THE PEOPLE. Let's get back to the foundation of this country, back to the basic freedoms set forth by our forefathers. I remember the days when folks didn't have to lock their doors, people looked out for each other (they didn't look to screw over their neighbors and friends). I remember the days when gas was 25 cents a gallon instead of going up 25 cents a day. Why are we padding the pockets of Arab sultans who would fly our planes into our landmarks? Why are we supporting communist countries by importing more than we export? Why are we supporting Olympic games in a country who moves in and takes over its neighbors, while lying to its citizens about what its doing behind their backs? Why are we sending all our tax dollars in countries that hate us while our own citizens can't pay their mortgages and are loosing their homes? Why is our country stabbing us, loyal American citizens, in the back? We need to take back our country and make it what it was intended to be. Get out and vote for the person that you believe can help turn this nation around and make it the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers, everywhere. Especially to my mom, even though she's never see this blog.
