Looks like Bush put in as much thought into the nomination of Kerik as the US homeland security chief as he did on the Attack on Iraq. Turns out that I had more clearance in my job at Bristol than Kerik ever had as police chief of NYC and Homeland security grand poobah Nominee. The FBI apparently tried to get him to fill out the information forms that would allow them to do a background check but it appears that Kerik just did not return them much less fill them out. Looks like Bush Jr. just shoots from the hip...do it first and ask questions later.
A very ignonimous start to the American Star Wars Missle defence shield. See the news report here. The failed trial looks like a major set back for the Star wars system....a system that Bush said would be in 'elementary operation' by the end of this year. Upon his recent meeting with Bush Jr., Paul Martin said "If there is going to be an American missile going off somewhere over Canadian airspace, I think Canada should be at the table making the decisions." Personally I think that there should be no way that Canada can support a re-emergence of the nuclear arms race that the USA is embarking upon.....at least not with a nation that sees nothing wrong with pre-emptive strikes.
And now for something completely different! Mother has been complaining of a sore foot lately. Her foot is a bit swollen and it is preventing her from getting her shoes on. No shoes-no card playing..??? Catherine and I will be stopping in there this afternoon to drop off her groceries and have a look at her foot. Apart form that she is in high spirits and is looking forward to spending a few days at our house during the Holidays. Jingle bells, jingle bells...jingle all the way. We want to take her out to see the special lights display at the Red River Ex grounds, they say it is quite nice. The only worry is that around this desolate place you have to get back home early, before it gets too dark or the stragglers get picked off by the wolves!
There is a great article by Bill Moyers upon his on the occasion of Harvard Medical School's Global Environment Citizen award on Dec.1, 2004. You can read it HERE . For all of those that haven't read it, it is well worth taking the time to read.
Anyhow the Holidays are coming upon us,
slowly
like
mollasses
in
January,
can't
wait
for
the
presents.
But it seems like Solstice is becoming quite commercial though isn't it? I mean if the Christians hadn't invented the fact that Jesus was born on Dec 25th then Toys R US would have had to come up with something!!!
Better get ready as we are leaving soon.......Keep blogging
PEACE.
