Patrick Swayze is in the hospital with pneumonia
Click here.
He went into the hospital Friday. He has Pancreatic cancer, and they are not sure if that is what caused the pnuemonia. I just wish him a speedy recovery.

The USS G.H.W. Bush comes to life

Bush #41 got a surprise that he wasn't expecting. During the ceremony, the plane that he flew in WWII flew overhead at the end of the ceremony. I seriously doubt that it was the same plane, but probably one just like it.

Obama officially became the President Elect yesterday
The Electorial votes for each state were cast, and Obama became the "President Elect". Vice President Dick Chaney announced it yesterday. I watched the procedure on Fox News yesterday.
Whether we like it or not, he is going to be our President. I was hoping that something in the natural born citizen cases would stop this. Only time will tell how this will all come out.

Obama seeks to mend rift over Panetta
Click here.
Someone in the Transition Team forgot to inform Dianne Feinstein of their decision to put Panetta over the CIA. First of all, it got leaked before everyone could be informed of the decision.
He doesn't have any experience in the Intellegence field, and it has some Democrats and Republicans upset at this pick. I can understand why that is. He will be over the CIA, and over all of our National Intellegence.
Obama and staff called and appologized to Dianne Feinstein over not letting her know before the information was leaked.
What are your thoughts over this pick?

Hamas executes 6 suspected collaborators with Israel
Source.
They were suspected of delivering information to IDF, guiding IAF warplanes, and were put to death by Hamas in the past two days by Hamas security officers in the fighting zone in Jabalya.
A source in Hamas said that all these guys had confessed to the act in the presence of their sister. She announced in public that she condemned her brothers and would cut all ties with them due to their betrayal.
A fourth sibling from the same family was executed last week after attempting to escape a bombed Gaza jail. He was imprisoned for collaborating with Israel and for aiding the assassination of Amar Karmut, the former leader of the Salah al-Din Brigades, the Popular Resistance Committees' military wing in the northern Strip.
I am wondering if they really confessed, or were coerced into it. Or, Hamas could be saying that to justify the deaths.

Among the alleged collaborators were three brothers, one of whom attempted before his arrest to swallow a cell phone's SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card, which is believed to have documented his conversations with Israeli security officials.
An eyewitness said that among the dead were three brothers executed on the street. Palestinians organization members and security sources in the Strip confirmed the report.

Senators were sworn in today for a new term, except for two of them
Click here.
The Senators were sworn in today by Vice President Dick Chaney. There were two of them not sworn in, though. They have declared Al Frankin to be the Senator for Minn. but, Norm Coleman has chosen to fight it in court. So, by law, Al Frankin can't take the seat. Some voting areas are having double ballots, etc. There are more ballots than there are registered voters.
The second one that didn't get sworn in today was Roland Burris. He was selected by Blagojevich to be the Senator from Ill. According to Roland Burris, he is the Jr. Senator of Ill. With the scandal going on with Blagojevich, Harry Reid gave interviews saying he wouldn't let Burris into the Senate.
It appears that Harry Reid will be proven wrong. Blagojevich is still the Governor of Ill. until he either resigns or is indicted, or is impeached. Burris gave a small press conference yesterday evening saying that he is the Jr. Senator of Ill. Well, today he showed up at the Senate and was told that his papers weren't in order by the Secretary.
You have to admire Roland Burris for not letting this get him down. He had to have had an idea that they would come up with something to not let him in today.

You Never Know Who is Living in Your Neighborhood

This is a true story that I wrote for another site.
I read a news story this morning about a brother and sister who had been separated for 40 years. They finally found each other. They discovered they only lived 300 yards apart.
Ordsall, Greater Manchester
It seems that you never know who could be living in your neighborhood. That could be a bad thing, or a good thing, as the people in the story I read in the Sun this morning.
A brother and sister were apart for 40 years. Their parents had died when they were children, and a family friend had taken them in. When they reached adulthood, they simply lost touch with each other. They had spent their early years in Ordsall, Greater Manchester. They probably had always wondered what ever happened to their sibling.
Little did they know, they lived 300 yards from each other. They had probably seen each other, and not even recognized who they were. Ken Whitty, 64, had moved to Reddish in 2002. His sister Yvonne is 62.
He decided to write a letter in the local paper about his lost sister. He was wanting to get back in touch with her. Soon after the letter was published, he got a phone call. The voice on the other end of the phone probably sounded familiar. She said, "Hello, this is Yvonne." The article didn't say what he said. I can just imagine that there was a surge of emotion on both sides of that phone line.
Ken did say that he couldn't believe that Yvonne lived so close to him. He said, " I couldn't believe it. I shot round to see her."
About their time apart, Ken says, "I just assumed she'd turn up, but the years rolled by."
Yvonne said, "It's so nice to see Ken again. It's overwhelming."
Ken's daughter, Nicola Dawes said: "Our family has now doubled. We are all so happy."
They probably hadn't even dreamed that they had lived so close to each other. I like good stories like that, and I just had to share it. Here is a link to one of the articles about this. Fox News.
