Random news observations....

We all saw the video of Hillary nearly breaking down on the campaign trail because it is so hard...well looks like Bill has been burning it at both ends too...check out the video of him sleeping during a sermon given in honor of MLK...oh, and the sermon was being given by MLK's son...http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/22783017#22783017

Locally, it is now against the rules for anyone to hold a function in a Shelby County buidling unless it directly relates to county business, and is not a religous event. I'm sure Henri Brooks will find a loop hole for that, and have another Kwanzaa event there.

So Willie and AC had a private "sit down" with the Gov about consolidation. The date was picked, plans were made...and just before the meeting, the Gov asked for a summary of the planned meeting so he could be prepared....well, when it turned out Willie and AC didn't have a plan, the meeting was canceled. I guess the Gov doesn't have time to listen to Willie rant aimlessly about how things should be done his way.

And, as the economy in Memphis continues to tank...two new reports in DeSoto look good. The average income is up, and is higher than the national average. Also, our sales revenues continue to grow despite the economic slow down.

Did you see the anti-MLK parade in the news this week. After legally obtaining a permit, several hundred demonstrators marched in protest of MLK being a federal holiday. They were peaceful, and maintained order.....however, several MLK supporters had to be arrested after trying to interfere with the parade, and refusing to allow freedom of speech.

Speaking of freedom of speech, if you haven't seen the Tom Cruise Scientology video..it is a must see. And while you're on YouTube, search for Scientology Crazy Followers....truly some scary people. One important note in Tom's little video, when he refers to SPs, that's you and me. And when he says he hopes for the day when the only time you will here about SPs is in the history books, that means he either wants the world converted to Scientology, or eliminated. Thank you Tom "Osama" bin Cruise.
