I just cant move my legs like the old days. I really wasnt hurt but my legs did get scrapped up a bit. They are just so tender that any little scrap can do so damage. Guess I better stay off my rockery. * - - - - - * The guy that bought my cedar tree came over yesterday with his family, wife and two kids. First I have to say they are a sweet and loving family. They work together, laugh a lot and are one of the nicest families Ive met. They came over to pick up the rest of his cedar and to carve my address holder with three bears. Below are some pictures of their effort.

STUDENT LOAN SINKHOLE
How massive student loan debts are sinking American dreams and causing a national economic headache.
According to the Department of Education, the average amount of undergraduate student debt in this country is now more than $22,000. And sudden changes in lenders' terms and rates can quickly turn a personal debt into a financial sinkhole, grounding the dreams of many college graduates even before they've started. This week, NOW follows the story of a single mother in Baltimore trying to dig herself out of more than $70,000 student loan debt. While issues of personal responsibility are debated, there's no question the high price of higher education is creating an ocean of student loan debt for people who can least afford it. How are the 70 million Americans with student debt frustrating America's economic recovery? * *THE STRANGE CASE OF GOV. SANFORD

Often recording with just battery-powered equipment, Johnson found musicians on street corners or in small clubs and they would in turn gather their friends and colleagues — in all, they recorded over 100 musicians from Tibet to Zimbabwe.

I'M SORRY.
David Letterman, who last week found himself the target of Republican ire for his joke about Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's 18-year-old daughter Bristol, has apologized.
Here's his full comments, provided by CBS (h/t TVWeek):"All right, here - I've been thinking about this situation with Governor Palin and her family now for about a week - it was a week ago tonight, and maybe you know about it, maybe you don't know about it. But there was a joke that I told, and I thought I was telling it about the older daughter being at Yankee Stadium. And it was kind of a coarse joke. There's no getting around it, but I never thought it was anybody other than the older daughter, and before the show, I checked to make sure in fact that she is of legal age, 18. Yeah. But the joke really, in and of itself, can't be defended. The next day, people are outraged. They're angry at me because they said, 'How could you make a lousy joke like that about the 14-year-old girl who was at the ball game?' And I had, honestly, no idea that the 14-year-old girl, I had no idea that anybody was at the ball game except the Governor and I was told at the time she was there with Rudy Giuliani...And I really should have made the joke about Rudy..." (audience applauds) "But I didn't, and now people are getting angry and they're saying, 'Well, how can you say something like that about a 14-year-old girl, and does that make you feel good to make those horrible jokes about a kid who's completely innocent, minding her own business,' and, turns out, she was at the ball game. I had no idea she was there. So she's now at the ball game and people think that I made the joke about her. And, but still, I'm wondering, 'Well, what can I do to help people understand that I would never make a joke like this?' I've never made jokes like this as long as we've been on the air, 30 long years, and you can't really be doing jokes like that. And I understand, of course, why people are upset. I would be upset myself. "And then I was watching the Jim Lehrer 'Newshour' - this commentator, the columnist Mark Shields, was talking about how I had made this indefensible joke about the 14-year-old girl, and I thought, 'Oh, boy, now I'm beginning to understand what the problem is here. It's the perception rather than the intent.' It doesn't make any difference what my intent was, it's the perception. And, as they say about jokes, if you have to explain the joke, it's not a very good joke. And I'm certainly - " (audience applause) "- thank you. Well, my responsibility - I take full blame for that. I told a bad joke. I told a joke that was beyond flawed, and my intent is completely meaningless compared to the perception. And since it was a joke I told, I feel that I need to do the right thing here and apologize for having told that joke. It's not your fault that it was misunderstood, it's my fault. That it was misunderstood." (audience applauds) "Thank you. So I would like to apologize, especially to the two daughters involved, Bristol and Willow, and also to the Governor and her family and everybody else who was outraged by the joke. I'm sorry about it and I'll try to do better in the future. Thank you very much."Governor Palin the balls in your court. . . how are you going to handle it?

Alan Colmes (former co-host of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes) makes a great a catch regarding the current feud between David Letterman and Governor Sarah Palin. While Palin has been blasting Letterman all over the airwaves for joking about Yankees star Alex Rodriguez "knocking up" her daughter, Jay Leno told an extremely similar joke during the presidential campaign that resulted in no such uproar:
Gov. Palin announced over the weekend that her 17-year-old unmarried daughter is five months pregnant. And you thought John Edwards was in trouble before! Now he has really done it. -- "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," 9/2/08
Is there a double standard being applied to Letterman?
Just this morning on MORNING JOE they talked about Letterman but did they have the GUTS to mention LENO? HELL NO. Wonder could it be that Leno works on NBC or are all these informed people just STUPID.
I sent them this short e-mail: It would be nice if you pointed out that Leno used the same joke as Letterman, but then again your trying to be like that other FAIR AND BALANCED NETWORK. Check the Huffington Post.

The Big Hate - By PAUL KRUGMAN
Back in April, there was a huge fuss over an internal report by the Department of Homeland Security warning that current conditions resemble those in the early 1990s a time marked by an upsurge of right-wing extremism that culminated in the Oklahoma City bombing.
Conservatives were outraged. The chairman of the Republican National Committee denounced the report as an attempt to segment out conservatives in this country who have a different philosophy or view from this administration and label them as terrorists.

ARE YOU READY FOR THE DIGITAL SWITCH TODAY?
Back on May 27th and 28th I talked about the switch from analog to digital. As a result of that post I got an email from a manager from Comcast wanting to talk about my concerns.
I told him about the so-called second conversion that Comcast was going through after this June 12 conversion.
Later on I got a call and an email from another rep from Comcast asking if my problem had been resolved. I sent her and email the other day (still haven’t heard back.
This is what I wrote:
Hi,
The truth is that NO my questions have not been answered regarding this switch to digital.
I understand the first switch that happens June 12th. It’s the second switch (the COMCAST switch) that I don’t get or understand. And don’t get me started with the “TV ADS” that I have seen that say “WITH NO ADDITIONAL COST” which is just bull.
Sure I understand that as long as I only have 3 or less TV’s Comcast will give me three boxes for free. Well I have 8 TV, (2 digital and 3 analog). I also have three computers that have TV tuners in them all which connect from the wall outlet through a splitter then to my computers.
Now all of these TV’s are not in use at the same time but they are used at different times during the day. In the case of my computers they may record long after I’ve gone to bed.
One of my main concerns is that I recently bought a new 60 inch Panasonic HDTV costing me $1500.00. I thought that would be my main TV for GREAT DIGITAL TV without the need for a box. Additionally I have a TIVO DVR connected to this TV working just fine. I understand this Comcast box comes with its own remote which makes me wonder will my TIVO still work.
And finally I understand I can’t buy these boxes and so I’ll be required to pay $10.00 extra a month for the additional boxes I will need. (8 total TV’s, 3 free boxes, 5 TV’s that I need to pay $2.00 each for a total of $10.00).
In summary here are my main concerns:
1.) Will my TIVO work regardless of my other issues?
2.) Will I be able to use my computer tuners’?
3.) Why can’t I buy these additional boxes instead of a life time fee?

AND THAT'S THE TRUTH. . .
A guy is driving around the back woods of Tennessee and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: 'Talking Dog For Sale.' He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.
The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.
'You talk?' he asks.
'Yep,' the Lab replies.
After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says 'So, what's your story?'
The Lab looks up and says, 'Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA. In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.'
'I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running. But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals.'
'I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired.'
The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.
'Ten dollars,' the guy says.
'Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?'
'Because he's a liar. He never did any of that stuff. '

It's going to be a busy day today.
Need to do a little Chip Raking in the back yard. It gets to hot during the afternoon so I do a little each morning which works just fine for me.
Yesterday I started to relocate some shelves in the garage and while I have them moved I've taken my pressure washer and washed them off as well as cleaning the walls and getting rid of all the cob webs. These cob webs are nasty things that seem to cling to the broom like glue.
I'm going to finish that project up this morning.

This morning I have a contractor coming to measure my family room sliding door. I'm having it replace with a new updated one.
Later I go pickup my lawn mower. I'll need my son to give me a hand getting it out of my car.
My new video camera should arrive today.

The boys came over at 3 pm yesterday but it was just too hot to work in the yard although we did get some work done.
Man it seems like we rake and rake but dont make a dent in the wood chips.

I went to the Hospital Friday to see my friend Bill Mackem. You all said a prayer for him last week and it looks like it worked.
I took this picture of Bill and must say I was surprised on how well he looked. He said he was hoping to go home yesterday.

Looks like I need to replace my Freezer. I seems that it thinks its a Refrigerator. I cant adjust the temperature beyond the 30 degree mark.
I thought maybe my gage was wrong so I bought a new one and first tested it in the freezer when it went to 30 degrees just like the old gage. I then moved it up to my refrigerator/freezer upstairs and it went to 0 degrees.

G. Gordon Liddy discussed on his radio show Judge Sonia Sotomayor being a member of La Raza, as well as her record of so-called racist comments. He then said, "Let's hope key conferences aren't when she menstruating or something, or just before she's doing to menstruate. That would really be bad. Lord know what we would get then."
