"The
difference between the almost right word and the right word
is really a large matter—’tis the difference between the
lightning-bug and the lightning." - Mark Twain
The opposite of a
correct statement is a false statement.
The opposite of a profound truth may well be another
profound truth.
Niels Bohr (1885-1962), physicist
"Beware the man
of one book."
Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225 - 1274), Theologian,
philosopher
Life is not a
journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely
in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly
proclaiming:
WOW - What a Ride!"
"Consciously or
unconsciously we all strive to make the kind of a world we
like."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
"We Lakota have
a close relationship to the buffalo. He is our brother. You
can't understand about nature, about the feeling we have
toward it, unless you understand how close we were to the
buffalo. That animal was almost like a part of ourselves,
part of our souls." Lame Deer, Lakota

 Ernie Ladd made a name for himself in several fields of endeavor. He was a dominating football player at both the college and pro level, and was closely involved with the Republican party for nearly 35 years. He was also one of the premiere professional wrestlers of the 1960s and 1970s. Long-time fans in the Northeast particularly remember the havoc he wreaked in WWE throughout the ‘70s as one of the largest and most hated heels the territory had ever seen.
He was a star lineman for Louisiana’s Grambling State University in the late ‘50s, and was recruited in 1961 by the AFL’s San Diego Chargers. He was a member of the Chargers’ 1963 AFL Championship team, and appeared in four straight AFL All-Star Games from 1962-1965. In addition to the Chargers, he also played for the Houston Oilers and Kansas City Chiefs. At 6’9” and over 300 pounds, Ladd was one of the largest players of his era, and his amazing quickness for his size earned him the nickname “Big Cat”.
The wrestling world began to beckon Ladd in the early ‘60s, while he was still a Charger. As a publicity stunt, some San Diego-area wrestlers challenged the Big Cat to a private workout session in the ring.
Ladd soon began wrestling for the Los Angeles promotion part-time during the football off-season. Due to his reputation as a pro ball player, Ladd quickly became one of wrestling’s hottest draws, and was eagerly sought after by promoters across the nation. As if his mainstream name wasn’t enough, Ladd also caught mat fans’ attention by becoming one of the sports most despised villains, often stirring up crowds with his cocky and colorful interviews, and through the use of his infamous taped thumb. Ladd’s heel status is particularly noteworthy because he was one of wrestling’s first African American villains during a time when promoters feared such a character would provoke riots due to widespread racism.
He first appeared in the World Wide Wrestling Federation in 1968. It would remain one of the main promotions in which he wrestled for the next 12 years. Managed by the Grand Wizard, he was a persistent challenger to WWE Champions Bruno Sammartino, Pedro Morales and Bob Backlund, although he never won the title. His rivalries with fellow behemoths Andre the Giant, Haystacks Calhoun and especially Gorilla Monsoon, are the stuff of legend.
After wrestling, Ladd had no problem finding something else to do, because he had long been an active crusader for the Republican party. A friend of the Bush family since the ‘60s, Ladd campaigned for both George Bush and George W. Bush. At the beginning of the year, George W. made Ladd a special deputy to his Presidential Inaugural Committee. In addition to his political activity, Ladd was part of a Christian ministry that provided services to prison inmates.

Teenager charged over shooting A Central Hawke's Bay teenager has been charged with attempting to murder a Hells Angel by allegedly blasting him with a shotgun from behind at close range.
Wayne Tweedle, 29, of Wanganui's Hells Angels gang, was shot while riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle on State Highway 2 on February 24.
A 19-year-old from Waipawa entered no plea when he appeared in Napier District Court yesterday charged in relation to allegedly shooting Mr Tweedle.
The patched Hells Angels member was shot once in the back, about 20
kilometers from Hastings, and then rode five
kilometers further while seriously wounded to raise the alarm at a farmhouse in Poukawa.
Mr Tweedle was taken to Hawke's Bay Hospital, where he needed emergency surgery to remove shotgun pellets from his abdomen. He was discharged from
the hospital last week.
The teenager was given interim name suppression and was remanded in custody till March 30.

The Florida
House and Senate are in session and some of them are
hard at work trying to do us good.
Now you all know there are three great lies
in life: 1) The check is in the mail, 2) Of course
I’d love to have your mother come live with us,
and 3) Hi. I’m from the government and I am here
to help.
This session
of congress certainly rings of number 3.
Bills have
been introduced in both the House and Senate that
will delete a portion of statute that defines motor
vehicles. This same portion being deleted
happens to exclude motorcycles from carrying PIP.
Forget about the cost of carrying PIP on a
motorcycle (and that you cannot buy it), but imagine
how much it will cost to insure yourself against
being run over by someone. No fault situations
do not work or provide affordable solutions for
someone riding a motorcycle. The reason
insurance companies want helmets on motorcyclists
boils down to the simple fact that when someone they
insure runs over one of us, it costs them big money.
As a motorcyclist, you know that a helmet is not
going to save you from injury and/or death when Joe
Impala runs over you so you understand why insurance
companies are going to make you pony up big time
when a new law makes you responsible for paying for
your injuries in an accident. HB265/SB984 will
relieve the at-fault Joe Impala’s insurance
company of the financial responsibility of running
you over.
You will
pay insurance premiums to take care of yourself in
an accident even if it was not your fault.
Many riders will be legislated off the road by this
proposed legislation. If you own your own bike
and you are not independently wealthy, you will most
likely not be able to afford the insurance.
You will be left to choose to park it or become a
criminal. If your bank owns your bike, you are
in worse trouble because they require you to have
insurance. You will have some additional
lovely choices to make. Perhaps your bank will
allow you to sign an affidavit that you won’t ride
it since you don’t have insurance (because you
cannot afford it)? Perhaps you will turn it
back into the bank because you are not so sure you
want to make payments on something you cannot ride?
Perhaps the bank won’t take the risk of you riding
the bike without insurance and will call their note
due. If they call their note due (and they
can, check your loan documents), you will either pay
it off or they will repossess it. When they
repossess your bike, then they will sue you to pay
for it anyway. Hopefully, you are getting the
picture here and understand that it is not pretty.
Do you also
understand we could really use your help???

Florida, Inc. is the only group in Florida dedicated

legislation. |
After numerous rounds of "We don't know if Osama is still alive," Osama himself decided to send Ted Kennedy a note in his own handwriting, to let him know he was still in the game. Kennedy opened the note, which appeared to contain a single line of coded message:
370HSSV-0773H Kennedy was baffled, so he E-mailed it to John Kerry. Kerry and his aides had no clue either, so they sent it to the FBI. No one could solve it at the FBI, so it went to the CIA, then to the NSA. With no clue as to its meaning, the FBI finally asked Marine Corps Intelligence for help.
Within a few seconds, the Marines cabled back with this reply: "Tell Kennedy he is holding the message upside down."
Friday, March 23rd, 2007 - Harley-Davidson Press Release - Total Motorcycle - www.totalmotorcycle.com Women riders and enthusiasts looking for inspiration turn to the Women and Motorcycling section on the Harley-Davidson Web site which features women's inspirational stories on how they entered the sport. Every few months, a new featured rider is highlighted on the Web site and as of Friday, March 16, that rider is musical artist Alecia Moore, also known as Pink.
Pink rides a Harley-Davidson Fat Boy and says, "Riding a bike exemplifies how I live my life - my way." She learned to ride from her dad and her husband and now rides whenever she can find the time. Riding is about the feeling of freedom and peace it gives, according to Pink. The Harley-Davidson experience appeals to her because she loves touring and the fact that other people on bikes can relate to you.

Not a bad idea!!!
Like a lot of folks in this state I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem.
What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test.
Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them??
Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sitting on their ass. Could you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?????
Please pass this along if you agree or simply Delete if you don't.
Hope you all will pass it along, though. Something has to change in this country and soon!!!!! "
Thank you Zinger
MADISON, WIs. -- Two former members of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club are going to prison for distributing cocaine.
Federal Judge John Shabaz has sentenced former Outlaws president Robert Paul, of Brantwood, to 18 months without parole and three years of supervised release. Shabaz also ordered him to pay a $3,000 fine.
The judge also sentenced former Outlaws member Richard Alsteen, of Wausau, to 25 months in prison and three years of supervised release.
A federal grand jury indicted them on cocaine distribution charges in October 2006 in connection with sales in the Park Falls area a year earlier.
