Roundup

What a great speech by the President last night. Though the beginning was kind of rough once G W gets on a role he gets into the zone. He is one of the Great Leaders in History.

Followed by the great speech the good jobs report. Lower and lower jobless claims and more new jobs created.

And then the new polling numbers as I predicted earlier in the year to one of the nay sayers "W" would roll to a huge victory. Rasmussen today gives the President a 4 point lead and Time Magazine, not your conservative outlet gives the President a double digit lead 52% to 41%. Not surprising after The John Johns little temper tantrum last night.

Pray for former President Clinton as the media is reporting that he is having open heart surgery and may have suffered a heart attack. Even though I don't agree with Bill Clinton on issues he is still a man in need of a savior and our prayers. It was refreshing and uplifting to here the character of our current President as the crowd in Wisconsin and the rest of the nation to join him in praying for Mr. Clinton.

Funny Story

Subject: Rats

A tourist walks into a curio shop in San Francisco. Looking around
at the exotics, he notices a very lifelike, life-sized bronze statue
of a rat. It had no price tag, but is so striking he decides he must
have it. He took it to the owner: "How much for the bronze rat?"

"Twelve dollars for the rat, one hundred dollars for the story,"
said the owner.
The tourist gave the man twelve dollars. "I'll just take the rat,
you can keep the story."

As he walked down the street carrying his bronze rat, he noticed
that a few real rats had crawled out of the alleys and sewers and began
following him down the street. This was disconcerting, he began
walking faster. But within a couple blocks, the herd of rats behind
him had grown to hundreds, and they began squealing. He began to
trot toward the Bay, looking around to see that the rats now numbered in the MILLIONS, and were squealing and coming toward him faster and faster. Concerned, even scared, he ran to the edge of the Bay, and threw the bronze rat as far out into the Bay as he could. Amazingly, the millions of rats all jumped into the Bay after it, and were all drowned.
The man walked back to the curio shop. "Ah ha," said the owner,
"you have come back for the story?"
"No," said the man, "I came back to see if you have a bronze
Democrat."
