Congratulations to Beyonce and her man. They are now parents of a sweet baby girl. But I do wonder how that child will feel as she grows up with such a strange name? I have often thought of this when I hear anyone , not just celebrities, naming a new baby with weird names.
I would love to hear from my readers on this one. How about some of the names of the past? I thought Oprah was strange, but then again how about some of the ones we’ve heard in the past years? Apple for a little girl. How does she feel now that she’s older? I know there are boys with some strange names, too, but most of those are playing baseball and football it seems. They have gone above their given names.
Do you have a strange name? Or one with an unusual spelling? If so, what reason did your parents give you when you inquired about your name? I know I was named for a movie star my Mother liked a the time. And my brothers also. I guess my parents had no imagination as we all have what are called “common” names. Is having an unusual name a good thing or a bad one? Comments anyone???

It’s been a week now since her parents told police someone had kidnapped Lisa right out of her crib overnight. Lisa will be a year old next month. Police are hoping someone will come forward with information as to who took her or where she can be found. At first the parents cooperated with police, then stopped. They are now talking again with authorities.
According to the police report Lisa’s father Jeremy Irwin came home from night shift work only to find lights on, the window open and the baby gone. Her mother Deborah Bradley had reportedly been sleeping. Searches have been ongoing in the past few days.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Associated Press / The Huffington Post)
Please, if you have seen her or know of anyone suddenly having a 1 year old baby, report to the police. Even if it’s not Lisa at least you know you will have tried to help.

The Center for Disease Control recently published a report informing the public about misuse of pest control materials to get rid of bedbugs. The report states 1 person died and over 100 got ill from using pesticides on their own to kill bedbugs. This was between 2003 and 2010. This report is in the weekly report of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality report.
The most common reason for these illnesses was overuse of the pesticides. Human toxicity can happen when consumers don’t read the labels and follow directions when applying the materials. Pyrethroids and Pyrethrins were used and implicated in 99 of 111 illnesses reported.
The CDC is urging consumers to have certified professional exterminators treat the bedbug situations. When choosing an exterminator make sure the company is licensed to treat bedbugs.

I have been following the recent news about Amanda Knox, the Seattle woman who was in the Italian jail system after police there determined she killed her room mate. However, due to some sloppy detective work and the ability to have forensics re-evaluate the evidence, she is now a free woman. Makes you wonder how things would have been if not for the science of forensics.
Decades ago Amanda would have been in jail for the full term. Forensics is a newer science, one which has new discoveries all the time. It has always fascinated people and has become one of the many parts of a good detective show on tv or in the movies. Forensics will be first and foremost in all crime scenes. Amanda can thank the people who do this science for her freedom today.

 GOD help us if this happens There’s not a doubt in my mind that Dr. Williams is correct and we’re going to be in for another four years unless he’s impeached by our Congress. DR. WILLIAMS predicts that Obama can not lose the 2012 election.
IN ADDITION TO THE VOTING BLOCKS HE MENTIONS, THERE IS ANOTHER HUGE GROUP: THE NEARLY ONE-HALF OF ALL ADULTS DO NOT PAY ANY TAXES AND, IN FACT, MOST OF THEM RECEIVE MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT. THESE PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO “SHAKE THE BOAT” TO DO ANYTHING TO STOP THE FLOW OF TAXPAYER MONEY TO THEMSELVES.
Dr. Williams prediction: Maybe you have read some newspaper articles written by Dr. Williams a conservative economist who happens to be Black. He has taught at several Universities and is currently teaching at George Mason University.  By Dr. Walter Williams
Can President Obama be defeated in 2012? No. He can’t. I am going on record as saying that President Barak Obama will win a second term.
The media won’t tell you this because a good election campaign means hundreds of millions (or in Obama’s case billions) of dollars to them in advertising.
But the truth is, there simply are no conditions under which Barak Obama can be defeated in 2012.
The quality of the Republican candidate doesn’t matter. Obama gets reelected. Nine percent unemployment? No problem. Obama will win. Gas pricesmoving toward five dollars a gallon? He still wins. The economy soars or goes into the gutter. Obama wins. War in the Middle East? He wins a second term.
America’s role as the leading Superpower disappears? Hurrah for Barak Obama! The U.S. government rushes toward bankruptcy, the dollar continues to sink on world markets and the price of daily goods and services soars due to inflation fueled by Obama’s extraordinary deficit spending? Obama wins handily.
You are crazy Williams. Don’t you understand how volatile politics can be when overall economic, government, and world conditions are declining? Sure I do.
And that’s why I know Obama will win. The American people are notoriously ignorant of economics. And economics is the key to why Obama should be defeated.
Even when Obama’s policies lead the nation to final ruin, the majority of the American people are going to believe the bait-and-switch tactics Obama and his supporters in the media will use to explain why it isn’t his fault. After all, things were much worse than understood when he took office.
Obama’s reelection is really a very, very simple math problem. Consider the following:
1) Blacks will vote for Obama blindly. Period. Doesn’t matter what he does. It’s a race thing. He’s one of us,
2) College educated women will vote for Obama. Though they will be offended by this, they swoon at his oratory. It’s really not more complex than that,3) Liberals will vote for Obama. He is their great hope,4) Democrats will vote for Obama. He is the leader of their party and his coat tails will carry them to victory nationwide, 5) Hispanics will vote for Obama. He is the path to citizenship for those who are illegal and Hispanic leaders recognize the political clout they carry in the Democratic Party, 6) Union members will vote overwhelmingly for Obama. He is their key to money and power in business, state and local politics, 7) Big Business will support Obama. They already have. He has almost $1 Billion dollars in his reelection purse gained largely from his connections with Big Business and is gaining more everyday. Big Business loves Obama because he gives them access to taxpayer money so long as they support his social and political agenda,  The media love him. They may attack the people who work for him, but they love him. After all, to not love him would be racist, 9) Most other minorities and special interest groups will vote for him. Oddly, the overwhelming majority of Jews and Muslims will support him because they won’t vote Republican. American Indians will support him. Obviously homosexuals tend to vote Democratic. And lastly,
10) Approximately half of independents will vote for Obama. And he doesn’t need anywhere near that number because he has all of the groups previously mentioned. The President will win an overwhelming victory in 2012.

Obituary-Very Interesting! Born 1776, Died 2008
It doesn’t hurt to read this several times. Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the last Presidential election: - Number of States won by: Obama:19 McCain: 29
- Square miles of land won by: Obama:580,000McCain: 2,427,000
- Population of counties won by: Obama:127millionMcCain: 143 million
- Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: “In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.
Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low income tenements and living off variousforms of government welfare…”
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the “complacency and apathy” phase of Professor Tyler’s definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation’s population already having reached the ”governmental dependency” phase.If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal’s – and they vote – then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message.
If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom. | |
