My deepest sympathy to both of these families. Two young lives destroyed.

Wasn't that wonderful? Alcorn University is to be commended for their community service to the area. My daughter is a student in the nursing program. I'm so proud of the work they do! Way to go yahoo!!!

That's really awesome! Good thinking on the part of Ferriday High School to offer something this interesting as an alternative.

Who's going to pay for this wondrous thing? Those "rich" folks who make over $500,000 a year income. Coincidentally, a large portion of these same folks are small business owners. Does anyone see where that's going?

Hasn't every president that has ever been elected in this country dealt with issues which were brought forth from the previous administration? YES. Obama is no different.
HOWEVER, as has been noted in different news organizations worldwide, there has never been a president in this country's history who has spoken so negatively or repeatedly about his predecessor's administration. People whether you want to admit it or not this type of blame game LOOKS BAD!! It takes away from the very respect that this office deserves.
Like MY mom always said, " If you want respect, you have to give it."

Looks like New Orleans may miss this one. Weather has been a little windy but without much rain the first part of the day.

SW, as for Iraq and Afghanistan, you would need to contact 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington to get any action on that. Afghanistan is going to be Obama's Iraq. Wait and see...

If fingers are going to be pointed for the insanity going on in this country, we should begin by lining up Congress and putting Ms Pelosi at the front. She wants to be the speaker then let her take the heat.
Why would this group of intellectual deficients extend the unemployment benefits for another 20 weeks as a knee-jerk reaction to the release of unemployment figures? Do they really believe the situation will be better within the next 6 months? They promised that this last stimulus would create jobs. Yeah, the jobs created were within the government. If this bunch of misfits expects the country to come out of this recession then they had better snap out of it! Take small business 101 people.
Most new hiring will be done by small businesses. Yet if Pelosi and her bunch had their way, small businesses would be paying for the new health-care bill they're trying to shove down everyones throats. Most of the individuals who fit into their definition of earners making $500,000 or more are business owners who file as individuals. The estimate given by The Joint Tax Committee is approximately 1/3 of the $465 billion would be shouldered by these business owners. In a country where the unemployment rate is 10.2% that's really crazy!
I've also heard talk of a "new" stimulus package. Yeah, let's go for it. Maybe in a few months we'll be at 20%.

My husband used to say that we may as well skip Thanksgiving because everyone threw up Christmas decorations in the middle of November. It kind of took some of the special off of the turkey! Well I guess now the ghoulies will have to fight for their rights too! You have to check your calender to be sure that we're still in October!

Anyone who cares to remember history clearly knows that Ronald Reagan had serious issues to deal with following Carter's fiasco. If you care to read up, check out "The Eighties-America in the Age of Reagan" by John Ehrman. Ehrman correctly states that "these economic changes left Americans better off at the end of the Reagan years than at the beginning."
Reagan also brought respect and admiration back to the United States. People felt proud to be Americans. Unlike the current president, who goes abroad and speaks of us as if we were children needing to be scolded. Carter casts a pretty sorrow image of us also.
Heroes? Yep, Reagan fits the bill.
On U.S. unemployment rate tops 10%
