I’m very tired after the first day of my 71st year. I had almost “dissremembered” how much work running for office in a small town can be. I was herding cats all day when I wasn’t putting eels back in the bucket.
I just do not have time left this evening to post a full blog, so I want to post another link on the Tebow’s commercials from Super Bowl Sunday. This one comes from Big Journalism and Michael Walsh. Nothing can be funnier than folks who talk for everyone of their ilk … especially when they are just plain silly. I give you plenty about which to tsk, tsk .
I’m going to retire, I’m much sleepier at this time of night than I was when I was 70.

Tomorrow, February 8, 2010 is my 70th birthday anniversary. I’ve had a good life and I hope it has been a useful life. Whatever my life has been or will be, it was and is so much more than those millions of souls who never had the chance to live after having their life taken by the personnel in abortion clinics. In short, for them … not even a minute of bright light to see, fresh air to breath or a loving touch to feel on the skin.
Others have written regarding the terrible and tragic price our society has paid through the abortion processes, but recently NOW and NARAL have found it necessary to attack the messengers of Pro Life organizations, when they protest the message of the super bowl commercial regarding the celebrated life of Tim Tebow. Celebrated because his mother did not follow her physician’s recommendation to terminate her pregnancy with Tim.
I’ll stop and allow the words of Susan Swift in Big Journalism explain further. Words she wrote today on the subject of abortion and its enablers. Please be forewarned that some of the content in or connected to Ms. Swift’s article is unsuitable for some to view. With the foregoing in mind, you can click here

Try 30 inches of white stuff for our nation’s capitol and forecasts of big storm stuff for the Mid-Atlantic section of the country. Just stay in bed and don’t venture out unless you’re a Snow Goose .
This is a long report, but if you have friends or family in the area, it might be useful. For me, I just thought it strange in this era of a very warm globe, that the climate would change in the frigid direction.

I had not heard of The Virtual Wall® until yesterday, when a Marine veteran
Faces Of Freedom
friend sent me the link, http://www.virtualwall.org/ to the website. I have visited The Wall in our nation’s capitol and can only say that I had to stop several times as I walked the length of the The Wall to wipe the tears away and offer my thanks through silent tribute for the sacrifices given by those thousands of heroes represented there.
Now, as I will tour The Virtual Wall®, I am sure I will repeat the tears and the tribute. I believe the person that started this beautiful and honorable site somehow knew that it would develop into memorials for individuals which would be treasured by the families, loved ones and dear friends of those who gave everything in a far distant land.
My purpose in posting this short article is to publicize the site in the hope that many more folks with blogs and websites will see fit to do the same. Much of what I might say, were I more elegant in style and eloquent of word, has already been said in outpourings of love and appreciation. I am taking the liberty of copying and posting the links to such information, along with links to other parts of the website, which will prove valuable to visitors to The Virtual Wall®. Please check below for links of interest:
Please follow the links and any others which may be placed on the above pages as they are visited.

Quote Freely From The Article – Leave The Pseudonym Alone
Justice Clarence Thomas, who has served as the left’s whippin’ “man” since before he was first sworn in on October 23, 1991, is no person to skirt the issues when he is given the opportunity to set straight what has traveled a crooked path. His latest record “straightening” came about today (2/4/10) as he spoke before a University of Florida Law School audience.
While not directly addressing the POTUS and his recent diatribe against the SCOTUS , there is little doubt that the Justice was speaking to the criticism heaped on the court by President Obama during his state of the union speech in January. In a report filed by the Associated Press and published online at WashingtonExaminer.com Justice Thomas had a great deal to say in addressing criticism or questions of the Supreme Court and other government branches, indicating each should should stay within the limits of fair comment, or:
run the risk in our society of undermining institutions that we need to preserve our liberties
The Justice went on to say that some criticisms of the court, “border on being irresponsible.” Indicating that he expects difference to come about because of perception from different areas of a question or issue, he nonetheless called for reason and respect:
“There are different approaches, because we start with different assumptions. Or we look at things
differently,” he said.
“And I think law school should encourage you that these differences are acceptable in our legal system.
And in the end, it is what strengthens and informs our legal system.”

More wind power generating capacity was installed in Europe than any other technology last year. Gas generating capacity followed with second place and solar photo-voltaic came in third. All this according to PR Newswire. The report states that more coal and nuclear capacity was decommissioned than was installed for the two sources during 2009. The story continues:
Investment in new European wind farms in 2009 reached EUR13 billion, including EUR1.5 billion offshore. 10,163 MW of wind power capacity was installed across the European Union – a 23% increase compared to 2008 installations – made up of 9,581 MW onshore (up 21% from last year) and 582 MW offshore (up 56% from last year).
2009 is the second year running that more wind power capacity has been installed than any other electricity-generating technology, and wind’s share of newly installed capacity increased from 35% in 2008 to 39% in 2009. It is also the second year running that renewable energies have accounted for the majority of new investments.
Industry managers are praising the increased capacity as decreasing carbon, while increasing jobs, other economic activity and overall electricity production. The total European generating capacity from wind generation sources is found in this quote:
Wind power’s total capacity in the European Union has now reached 74,767 MW, up from 64,719 MW by the end of 2008 with Germany remaining the EU country with the largest installed capacity, followed by Spain, Italy, France and the UK.
Optimism appears to be common in the European renewable energy field. To read the forecast possibilities, click here.
