Oh my, I’m supposing that fella couldn’t get a job as a door to door salesman…

As for the judge, I’d love to have him over any Sunday for dinner.

Yayyyyyy!!!! Alyson’s here!

Don’t ya wonder how the other passenger’s reacted to this guy? Like…..did a couple of them call for a stewardess and say, “Uhhhhhh, Miss……that guy over there……his shorts are smokin’! Do you think something’s up? And can I have another diet Coke, please, when ya get time?

Yeah, I gotta say, it adds a whole different nuance to air travel to eyeball your fellow passengers and wonder what they have in their shorts.

Did anyone see Saturday with Mark and Tony today? Mark talks about when he was younger, the big thing in his church was I Cor. 11:14,…that men shouldn’t have long hair. (He was talking about legalism.) I think, Linda B., that that scripture may have been written about THIS GUY’S HAIR!!!

Sunny, what can I say—–it’s blazing hot outside and my garden needs tending……and I’m stalling.

And THAT HAIR??? He should be arrested for his hair! If he ever gets out of jail, and he decides to try that bombing thing again, I hope he comes back as the “Hair Bomber”! At least, he’d be doing mankind some service.

After staring at that picture of the Shoe Bomber, not to be unkind or shallow or anything like that, but I think the reason behind this guy’s anger is his inability to get a date! Can you see a girl’s parents letting their daughter go out with this character? Or a girl WANTING to go out with him?? I can’t.

LindaB – You are on a roll!!!!!

LindaB — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 15:27:39 +0000

And you never fail to let me!

But seriously, this story should be a comfort to any parent who’s disappointed in their offspring! Think about the mother of the Underwear Bomber! What does she say when other villagers ask her how her son is doing? “Well, right now, he’s in prison in America for blowing up his shorts! His father and I are so proud of him! He always did show promise in that area. He didn’t pull if off perfectly, and now he walks funny, but he’s young and he’ll get better at it with a little more training.”

LindaB, you never fail to bring the LOLs!

Okay. Tori, this is your fault—–you got me thinking about these “attempted terrorists” and what was their mindset in planning their failed terrorist plots. Was the shoe bomber sitting around with some likeminded friends and talking in hushed tones, “Hey! I think planting a bomb in my shoe would be a brilliant idea! I’ve got an old pair of Nike’s that I wouldn’t miss if they blew up—–heck! I’ll be in America and I’ll just buy a new pair! Yep! I’ll do it!” But the most bizarre thought process had to be that of the Underwear Bomber’s! “Well, I want to carry out a suicidal attack on America and assure my place in Paradise with my own bevy of 72 beautiful virgins——so, I’ll just cause my underwear to explode in a ball of fire great enough to bring down an aircraft! Yep! That’ll work!” If he had succeeded, there’d be some pretty disappointed virgins. And THEN I wondered if this guy’s self-inflicted injuries were treated by a crack team of American medical personel to preserve this guy’s ability to reproduce?? This is a crazy world indeed!

Loved it then, love it now. I’m from Harlan county, Ky…and the only thing we would have done to change any of this in Harlan…is at the end of the sentencing, when all was proven to be guilty, life would have been way to easy. Carrying out the sentence from the bench, that would have been justice. Had this guy been smart enough to blow up his shoe…he would have carried out a sentence on a plane full of people.

Justice after all, has to be fair.

Well, that just made my day! Very well said, Judge Young.

I’ve had my American flag up since 9-11; I think I’m on my 8th one. Not that we’re a perfect country; we’ve done some stupid and awful things (I’m American Indian – many people are still on reservations…) so our history isn’t perfect. But, there are some things that we value above all politics – freedom, liberty and justice. We are a country of laws and some people just don’t like that.

We went to the site where Flight 93 was crashed near Shanksville, PA, about an hour from here. I had that same sickening, roiling feeling in my stomach. Who does something like this?

Justice will prevail. And, if not here, before the True Righteous Judge of all mankind.

LindaB – you crack me right up!

I think I’ve read this before, but I enjoyed it again. Judge Young is right on! And it’s heartening to know there are still judges who believe “It is yet true that we will bear any burden; pay any price, to preserve our freedoms.” Some judges make me wonder!

I especially loved it when he waxed eloguent and said, “Here, in this society, the very winds carry freedom. They carry it everywhere from sea to shining sea.” I LOVE this country! And I thank God I am so fortunate to live here!

What I’d like to hear is what the judge will say when sentencing the UNDERWEAR bomber! That speech has a lot of potential, if you know what I mean! LOL

So far, since 9/11, we’ve been attacked by two goofs! One who couldn’t get his shoe to blow up, and one who only succeeded in blowing up his underpants and suffering some embarrassing yet painful burns! May God protect us in the future! And God bless the brave people on those flights that subdued those two idiots.
