You know on Sundays mornings I really do like to watch Jack Van Impie and Rexella. Now usually any of these taped programs run about 2 weeks behind schedule but this morning she said it was Valentines Day,so I believe they were a little off. Never the less ,as always, they had something interesting to say.Was also watching the local news and they were doing a report on
the homeless here in Des Moines, Iowa.This report while the thought was a good one turned out to be nothing more then an ad disguised as the news.Don't think that is what the photojournalists quite had in mind.I was homeless from 1999 till 2005 and I knew these people that they interviewed. The one person is the head of raising funds for the mission and you never see him on camera unless it's for a fund raiser. All I can say is that their donations must be off for the year. Perhaps they need a pay raise. They do make very good money. I know, for I was on their payroll on three different occasions. I do know that the CEO moved to a new home in Pleasant Hill, Iowa Then had the main office moved there then took the Thrift store and moved it out there also. That took it away from the people in Des Moines who have to rely on the bus or their own two feet for transportation. Guess they figure they will get a better breed of people shopping there. Plus it makes it very convenient for the CEO. Then i watched a little of Fox & Friends which is like watching a televised edition of the National Enquire. They do report some good stuff on there but sometimes go on and on and on about the same story. Most all news broadcasts do this.This thing with the underwear bomber, well I think He was made to be the fall guy and that the bomb was never supposed to really go off. Not only does it take our minds off of other stuff that our government may be doing but it helps Homeland Security to say we need stronger measures with the people so we better start watching all citizens. Plant some chips in them, make them use the smart card,bug everything they have and so on and so on..This gives them one more reason to take our rights away from us.
Thanks for letting me bend your ear a little,
May God bless,
