The liberals crazies, do not like her because she is real, not a fake liberal, is that fair? perhaps it is, because they attack her at every turn and they try to hurt her but it all back fires on them, because that is the way the world works, when you are sour and hateful it will come back to you, call it karma, call it justice, but when you treat people like liberals treat people well you get what you deserve.
Like being voted out of office.
So liberal democrats, standing up in congress, pack your bags.

Military Leaders of World War II
by Oleksy, Walter G
Each volume in the American Profiles series provides middle and high school students with concise information on eight to thirteen important and influential figures in a particular field of endeavor.
Profiles are organized around a movement, event, or profession that has had a significant, lasting impact on American history and contemporary life. Essential biographical information is included for each figure, but the heart of each profile describes the critical achievements and contributions of the individual under consideration and assesses the subject’s significance, not only in the context of the person’s own lifetime, but in the broader sweep of American history.
Excellent book check it out here
Placing each figure’s achievements and contributions in a historical context makes each profile the ideal source for preparing reports. Students can use this framework as a basis for comparisons and contrasts, which will given them a better understanding of how individuals shape, and are shaped by, the times in which they live.
Profiles: Claire Lee Chennault; Evans Carlson; Douglas MacArthur; Chester W. Nimitz; William “Bull” Halsey; Dwight D. Eisenhower; Jacqueline Cochran; Omar Bradley; Curtis E. LeMay; and George S.

Key to the Ancient Parish Registers of England and Wales

Stephen Kings the stand
Saturday, October 3rd, 2009Every time I hear a news story about h1n1, I think about the stand, which is based on an influenza virus that escapes a government lab, of course this is just fiction, but in the book and the movie, this fictional virus is very lethal, leaving a world just about empty of its previous inhabitants.
With all the insanity going on about the flu bug you have to wonder about the real possibility of the stand being more than just a book some day perhaps some of todays politicians have read the stand and are having a hard time differentiating between reality and a well written book, or even more diabolical, what if the book gave someone an idea, a very bad one.
If you have the chance you should read this book because it is a good read. Of course considering the way the book ends, there are a lot of interesting topics, in the book, being just a fiction and probably a little more and the book is also mentioned in the dark tower series as well as other honorable mentions in several other books.
The Stand as a book is nothing short of incredible, the stand as the movie, ahh, could be better, as far as stephen king movies go it was better than most, but still fell short of the real thing, which is most always the book, either way it is worth going after and in the end they all stand.
