    When I see that date, of course, I think of your Dad. But, that being said, they might learn something that day just by trying not to learn anything. Oh my! I never thought about deliberately trying not to learn anything. You certainly always teach me something new.

    Your new blackberry sounds great. I need something much more simplified. I only want larger read out, easier typing and all around simple use. I want a phone and maybe the camera to receive pictures. Think I can find one like that? Hugs!!

    Ah yes, I knew his birthday was at the end of July but didn't really put it together with this exact day. That really is the point of the day though, it's pretty much impossible to make it through a day without learning something. :-)

    Gee, the Blackberry is all that! :-) Once you get past the learning curve that is. Heh.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama.

The Tea Parties

I didn't make our local Tea Party , but it pulled hundreds of people as well... Tea, anyone? from Father Hollywood by Father Hollywood Like hundreds of thousands of other Americans, the Hollywoods enjoyed a tea party this past Wednesday. "Tea party" (wink wink). Nothing subversive about sipping a little Darjeeling, eh wot? Nothing to see here, Miss Napolitano. Anyway, our local festivities were held at Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie. There were literally thousands of people crammed into the neutral ground (though on that day, the ground was anything but...), as cars and trucks poured by the busy boulevard laing on their horns in support. Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...
