| | The beginning of the Secret Service | | The Presidents have not always been protected by the Secret Service. It was only started in July of 1865 after Abraham Lincoln's assassination in April of that year. It was began because of all the counterfeiting and not for protecting the President.After McKinley was assassinated in 1901, the Secret Service was then assigned to protect President Theodore Roosevelt. It was not until 1906 that legislation was passed to assign this job to the President as an official duty.Since then, the Secret Service Duties have grown. They also protect the First Family,and the Vice President and his family. They also protect the former President and his wife for 10 years. If there are any small children, they protect them until the age of 16. President George And Laura Bush will now have the services of the Secret Service for the next 10 years protecting their lives from harm. I wonder how one feels to have someone following around your every move. I don't think I would like to be in any position where I then had to be protected from the world after I retired. I like my private life too much! How about you? Would you exchange your private life with that... | |

| | I thought it was George Bush's Fault | | A senior Iranian cleric says women who wear revealing clothing and behave promiscuously are to blame for earthquakes.BEIRUT -- A senior Iranian cleric says women who wear revealing clothing and behave promiscuously are to blame for earthquakes.Iran is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries, and the cleric's unusual explanation for why the earth shakes follows a prediction by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that a quake is certain to hit Tehran and that many of its 12 million inhabitants should relocate."Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes," Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi was quoted as saying by Iranian media.Women in the Islamic Republic are required by law to cover from head to toe, but many, especially the young, ignore some of the more strict codes and wear tight coats and scarves pulled back that show much of the hair."What can we do to avoid being buried under the rubble?" Sedighi asked during a prayer sermon Friday. "There is no other solution but to take refuge in religion and to adapt our lives to Islam's moral... | |

For you that have remained Lt Col T. Lakin,Flight Surgeon who is on the staff of 4 star General Geo.W. Casey,the Army's chief of staff has called Barack Obama out in regard to Obama's refusal to summit his proper proof of citizenship.
Our country is divided over many things and this is just one of them,it is not going away matter a fact it really heating up.
The "Constitutionalists" labeled the birthers are only seeking the truth about Barack Obama's eligibility to hold the office of president.
Please note reader this has nothing to do with race but it has everything to do with upholding the United States Constitution.
Obama so far has not been willing to prove he is an American citizen which only serves to fan the flames.I was wondering this evening why Fox's News who believes Obama is an American citizen air a clip taken earlier in the day on another network where Obama brought up his citizenship in a discussion about the tea party... | |
| | | Crushed by George's death | | I couldn't believe it when we found out it was George who got hit by the bus and was lying in the bed about to die. Before this, I heard speculations that the guy who played George was unhappy with Grey's Anatomy and wanted to leave, but this seemed too sudden. I really don't like that they merged with another hospital and suddenly added so many new characters. After being such a loyal Grey's Anatomy fan, I have no longer continued watching the most recent season. Any other opinions? | |

| Have you met George? | | This is Giant George from AZ. He's going to be on Oprah today, too. (These are not shopped... he really is 235# and 7 feet long!)I love dogs, but that thing is like 15 kinds of disaster. Too big. I wonder do giant breeds of dogs have the same problems that human giants have? IE; prone to joint injuries, overworked hearts, blood sugar problems requiring very strict diets, etc.FB page: http://www.facebook.com/GiantGeorge
