Hinesight is wonderful, but I never did find the City of Tulsa putting up Air Force Plant #1, but then again I do not live in the City so it was not my call. Unfortunately, someone is going topay the bills, and the City cannot really afford it. Thank you Susan Savage...

A facinating read. I am not a big fan of NASCAR, I watch a race from time to time, but this glance into its roots.....
From the sand to asphalt
PONCE INLET, Fla. -- From where he stands, 72-year-old Webber Johnson can't smell the burning rubber. He can't hear the roaring engines. And he doesn't see any fans. There are no barbecues to smell, beers to drink or danger to worry about.
It is completely serene. The only sound is that of the Atlantic Ocean, its waves crashing together before crawling their way to the tip of his feet. Between tides, Johnson takes a deep breath, grabs his wife Marge's hands and remembers.

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Oscar head angry at TV show delay
Hey brainy, have you not figured that it is the people who make your show a success and if they are offend they will stop watching you. In is your best interested to have the tape delay in place. People vote with their feet, like me. I stop watching your political statement fest long ago and I also have not been to anything but family type films with my daughter and son for the past couple of years.
On top of that, the ABC affiliates need to have assurances that they are not going to be hit with a fine because you want the right to sling the F word (or worse) around whenever you want to. If that is censorship, make a deal to put it on some cable channel that is not watched (like maybe Showtime)!

Massachusetts Weighs a Deal on Marriages Between Gays
Hey Massachusetts, what is next? Can I marry my cousin now. The state does have an inherent right in defining marriage and you people need to do it. Look, we cannot marry more than one person, we cannot marry a blood relative, if you take and make Gay marriage legal, what is to take any of those down a path that you do not wish. Time to wake up and smell the coffee people. (In disclosure, though I live in Oklahoma now, I am from Massachusetts and live 26 years of my life there. I have a right like any one else does to say my thoughts and any liberal that does not agree can tear up the constitution. I am not a homphobe or anything else you want to call me, OK?

The title says it all
Law nabs three INTs, Vinatieri boots five FGs
FOXBORO, Massachusetts (Ticker) -- Peyton Manning fought the
Law, and the Law won.
Along with shutting down Marvin Harrison most of the day, Ty Law
intercepted Manning three times and Adam Vinatieri kicked five
field goals to lead the New England Patriots to a 24-14 victory
over the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC championship game.
A familiar formula was the prescription for the Patriots' second

Job 29
v. 1 - 25
Job's wrap up pt, 1: Oh I wish that my times of prosperity, when God favored me, were back. I was a man of authority and respected then. I followed a lifestyle of piety and benevolence. I never thought that all this would come to me.
Job 30
v. 1- 31
Job's wrap up pt, 2: Now those who respected me mock me. Even young men whose fathers I would not have put with my dogs. Men who would live as outcast now use my name as a curse word. I am drained out. I cry to you God, but you do not respond except with more cruelness. Why does HE still torture these ruins. I am looking for good and find darkness.
Job 31
v. 1 - 40
Job's wrap up pt, 3: I have not been a lustful man. I have not falsely accused anyone. If I have been let me weighed in God's judgement. Let all that I gain be enjoyed by another. If I could not say these things to you, how could I answer God? We all, my servants and I were made by the same God. I have helped the poor and the fatherless. I have not made gold my hope, nor worshiped things I should not. I have not rejoiced at evil and have asked the stranger to stay with me. Oh that the one who prosecute me would write down my crimes in a book. I have not even been a hard person to the land I own. With this Job goes quiet.

QB thrives under playoff pressure
FOXBORO, Mass. -- There was no snow this time, no Lonnie Paxton swishing snow angels in the end zone, no -- thank the Lord for small favors -- revisit of the Tuck Rule.
It was the coldest game in 43 seasons of New England Patriots football -- a frigid 4 degrees, with a wind-chill factor of -10. At halftime, they showed a blazing fire on the big screen at Gillette Stadium and played "Baby, It's Cold Outside." By the time the game was decided, and Jeff Fisher's moustache had become...

Job's reply to Bildad: How long you going to keep this up? You have wronged me. And God has wronged me. If I cry I am wronged, I am not heard. He has let his wrath out against me.
