IT IS POSSIBLE TO LEAD A COW UP STAIRS, BUT NOT DOWNSTAIRS. I'm sure that you will all sleep better tonight!!!!
SECRETARY OF STATE HILLIARY CLINTON AND THE TRANSLATOR.
Secretary of State Hilliary Clinton really "lost it" last week when a translator used her husbands name rather than President Obama's when asking a question.
The Secretaries outburst was appropriate, she is The secretary of State and not her husband. She should not be seeking council from him or any other "outsider". The real question is, how often do translators make mistakes?
In today's world, the slightest "slip of the tongue" could have disastrous consequences. Obviously, more attention has to be paid to the selection, training and overseeing of all translators.
Secretary Clinton, looking haggard, tired and about ready to pass out, found the strength to respond to a comment that was tasteless (if it were true). Had the statement been translated properly (asking if President Obama was in agreement) Secretary Clinton would not have been able to answer. I doubt that The Secretary and The President have shared two words in weeks.
MICHAEL VICK AND MY BELOVED PHILADELPHIA EAGLES.
I heard the news that Michael Vick had signed a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles at half time of their exhibition game on Thursday night. It had been a long and strength sapping day, this was news that I did not need to hear.
Although pets are not a part of my life, I wish them no harm and feel that Vick's actions were at best deplorable. Yes he served his time, was the 2 year sentence really enough for the crimes committed? That is not my call, the judge did what he felt was right!
Yes, people who have served their time do deserve another chance, a chance to EARN the respect of society, to PROVE that he is remorseful, to HELP those going down the wrong path to find a NEW WAY and to ply his trade and make a living. But not on my beloved EAGLES or in my beloved home town.
I have been an avid EAGLES fan for 60+ years, have lived through the good and the horrible, have laughed, screamed and sobbed. Now that I have been to Wrigley Field all that I need to do before I leave this earth is see MY EAGLES win a Super Bowl. But, at what cost?
Prior to him entering the NFL, I told my sports ministry that this was a BAD guy, with great speed and athleticism but not a quarterback. Sorry to say, he proved me right on all counts.
Michael, prove me wrong, earn our respect, ply your athletic skills for this great city. If you are a changed person, you could not be in a better city. You will be embraced by millions. If you have not changed, you will be hear about it load and clear.
