I got this in an email – forgot from whom, but thanks anyways – and I just had to share it.

I can imagine that this statements “Daisy Air Rifles: Keeping Kids Off Your Lawn Since 1886!” is one of those little things that will forever change the way you look at a specific subject – in this case for me the “Since xxxx!”

Another mind altering was that Nike Slogan – Just Do It! which is still effecting me immensely.

A New War for George W. Bush

Posted on August 2, 2007 by Merlin Silk

The world is in shock about the collapse of the bridge over the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

But the people of the world shall not fear, our US government agencies are coming to take revenge.

Here is what the La Rochelle Times report:

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA

President Bush announced early Thursday that the United States would prevail in the newly launched “War on Gravity,” which the President intends to fight “anywhere and everywhere gravity may hide.” In response to the tragic collapse of the Interstate 35W bridge in Minneapolis Wednesday evening, government agencies reacted quickly to formulate a response that would counteract gravity’s latest attacks against the vulnerable homeland.

“My administration and me intend to do anything I can to stop these evil acts of downward aggression,” the President said during his announcement at the White House. “I’ve been talking with my advisors, and we think we have a pretty good idea where these gravity-based forces might be hiding. The American people need to know I’m going to do everything in my power to stop these evil forces before they act again.”

La Rochelle Times is coming to us from France and I think it’s great that more and more people around the world developing the ability to make fun of us here in the US.

Reminds me of the one Harry Potter film in which the teacher instructs his students to overcome their biggest fear – by ridiculing it, seeing the fearsome teacher suddenly appearing  in a night gown, the spider’s leg becoming wobble and by just calling out ‘Ridiculous!’

Read the full article  Bush: ‘We’re at war with gravity’

O yes, just to put things in perspective, the World Clock at Poodwaddle.com reports that just today we had 713 death caused by ‘nutritional deficiencies and 576 death caused by falls.

I wonder when GWB will start his war against falls – but then again once he wins the one against gravity he will have an easy game in this one.

Whispers

Posted on August 1, 2007 by Merlin Silk

The man whispered, ‘God, speak to me’
And a meadow lark sang.
The man did not hear.

So the man yelled, ‘God, speak to me!’
And the thunder rolled across the sky
But the man did not listen.

The man looked around and said,
‘God let me see you’ and a star shone brightly
But the man did not notice.

And the man shouted,
‘God show me a miracle!’
And a life was born but the man did not know.

So the man cried out in despair,
‘Touch me God, and let me know you are here!’
Whereupon God reached down
And touched the man.

But the man brushed the butterfly away
And walked away unknowingly.”
