Baby Lisa

Normally I put up missing person notices - but there isn't an Amber Alert for this little girl ...

Fox News did an exclusive interview with her parents and I was trying to watch it on my computer but it wouldn't give me a full shot, all I could see what the husband's reaction ... and it was quite interesting.

he was totally devoid of emotion
he didn't look at his wife as she was being questioned - she glanced at him out of the corner of his eye
he didn't say a word until directly asked
he just sat there
he is obviously to the point of detachment, its a defense mechanism
not even when his wife admitted that she was drunk that night did he flinch
in fact he said about his wife's drinking that it doesn't change who a person is or how they act... he obviously has never heard of an "angry drunk" or a "crying drunk" who's emotions are more easily sparked.

I beg to differ -- if she is "blacking out" to where she can't remember then either (a)she wasn't drinking just wine or (b)she had bigger than average sized wine glasses ... if she drinks like this about twice a week as she claims, then it would not be wrong to assume that her brain has built up a tolerance for it - 5 glasses of wine would be enough to put hubby out and he's a big man.

well here - you watch it and let me know what YOU think ...

His Royale Pain in the @rsn President Obama

Alright so Obama is in NY today to leave a wreath at Ground Zero in memory of those lost during the 9/11 WTC disaster. Especially now that they (supposably) got Bin Laden ....

Very nice gesture ... Very Presidential! Although considering that he has been in office for over two years now, it's about time he got ther ... That's right - Obama has not been to WTC plaza since he took office (is it any real surprise though? He'd might have to give up a golf game)

He is also going to visit a police precinct and fire station who lost personale who were trying to save victims that day as well .... Ok, that's really nice too.

So he's eating lunch with the fire fighters ... Ok, I kind of like that ... And since he is going to their house he will eat whatever food they will have prepared, right? Well minus anything he's allergic too -- I think we would expect that from any guest.

"this what we have, you are welcome to partake"

They have released the menu for the lunch at the station:
Egg Plant Parmesan
Scallops
Shrimp
Pasta in cream sauce
Spring salad

When I first heard this menu I thought "maybe he's having it catered for them" nice gesture ... Then they said that the firefighters would likely be prepping it themselves, that seemed like weird menu ...

But now that I've typed it up ... It makes a bit more sense ... Here's what I'm thinking it is ...
Egg plant Parmesan
Pasta with cream sauce AND scallops & shrimp
Spring salad

THAT makes much better sense to me ... F course it's a fire station I could never work at ... You have to wonder about what they do if a fire fighter has an allergy ...

Think about it, that menu has 3 out of 5 top five allergies ... Wheat, dairy, fish/seafood
(the other two are peanuts & soy)

Actually the president is comng under quite a bit of controversy/scrutiny by the 9/11 families because he is only paying attention public ally to the WTC victims ... There have been some very public statements from those who's family members parrished in PA and those who lost members at the Pentagon.

Which is raising cries of Obama using this time only as a photo op and for getting free campaigning for the 2012 election. And I can kind of see their point.

Like I pointed out before that this is the FIRST time since being elected that he is going to WTC plaza ... I have not heard if he has ever gone to the PA site or the memorial at the Pentagon.

They say the Pentagon gets VP Biden and defense sec. Gates ... Huh ... Couldn't take a swing by there before leaving for NY? Imagine that. It could have been a logistics thing, maybe it would just be too much bother to plan a ceremony in both places on the same day ... Oh wait - it's the Pentagon, their day starts at 5am!

These ceremonies are planned for the media ... So yeah, I guess it is a political campaigning thing ... So the real question is - is Obama doing anything any differently than any other president? That I'm not so sure of.

BREAKING NEWS: NY warning

well its nation wide really .... but mostly for NY... police departments have been told to keep an eye on the post offices for devices that can be used for making bombs.

This is some of the fall out from that raid in Queens yesterday ... which according to reports took place in three apartments!! I haven't heard if it was three seperate buildings, or three apartments in the same building.

here's what we do know so far:

• there was a terrorist of Afghanii decent with possible ties to Al-Qaeda
• he visited the three apartments that were raided
• feds did not commence raid until after he left the city
• he had been under survellance for a while
• they know where he is now (although the congressman of NY would not confirm or deny)
• raids took place Sunday & Monday
• FBI & NYPD felt action had to be taken
• the FBI are furious that news of the raid has leaked out

The National Intelligence Director is saying we are safer today than we were under Bush -- I don't know about that ... either they are being treated to the work done under Bush's watch -or- they haven't plug the intelligence leaks.

Well maybe one good thing -- if the Intials groups (fbi, cia, nsb, etc) aren't comfortable with the way things are being handled in Washington ... they just might pull together instead of fighting each other to get the job done!

Movie Monday: Fred Thompson

okay so I was surfing around and decided not to go with a YouTube this week ... because I found a clip of Fred Thompson (the guy I wanted to have as the Candidate) being interviewed by Shepard Smith of FoxNews -- I like him a lot, he isn't above putting in his two cents, but he really took a trun during the NewOrleans floods that I wasn't pleased with, but then he does seem to report the news without too much bias.
