Disturbing Facts about her

A Time Article about her rough record as mayor:

 “[Former Wasilla mayor] Stein says that as mayor, Palin continued to inject religious beliefs into her policy at times. “She asked the library how she could go about banning books,” he says, because some voters thought they had inappropriate language in them. “The librarian was aghast.” The librarian, Mary Ellen Baker, couldn’t be reached for comment, but news reports from the time show that Palin had threatened to fire her for not giving “full support” to the mayor”

Garrison Keilors perspective on the RNC

the best reason for Global warming I have Ever read (from Pharyngula)

When God sent the rain on this Earth for 40 days and nights, all this water had to go someplace so the Earth would be dry again.

Remember, God is the Creator and controls the universe.

God tilted the Earth from its original position and caused all the excess water to rush to the poles, and there he instantly froze the water into the ice formations that exist today.

Time is ticking down on God’s time clock. With all the nuclear bombs that are made and stored for the fast-emerging last battle, this Earth would burn up when these nuclear bombs are set off.

We are not creating global warming – God is tipping the Earth back to its original position on its axis and thus getting all this ice to get ready to move and extinguish the nuclear destructive fires man will create.

The Harpeth River is a run I  have done a few times before but this was the first time Chloe had ever been in a canoe.

I got her a life jacket to keep her head out of the water cause she seems to swallow alot of water when she swims and coughs a lot.

I forgot how much I enjoyed canoeing and being on the river. I had not been in  a few years even though it so close to where I live. I think a canoe purchase is in my future.

Other than the river being a bit littered and trashy it a pretty good run. It was, according to my GPS, 11.40 miles. It  took me , with lot of stops for chloe to go to the bathroom, about 6 hours. With the current drought i would try to go right after it rains. We didn’t have any trouble but if the river was much lower you would.
