Failing Terror Attack Tests?

Leaving humor on the sideline today. While getting my morning weather (i dress kids for the day; not like neighbors kids, just mine) I heard our cities are no better off, communications still isn't figured out and so forth. To quote Vin Diesel, "You gotta be kidding me."

For those that don't know, my family and I were driving into NYC the morning of 9/11 when the attacks broke out. We were going to meet up with our friend that works at the WTC and I planned on taking Reagan to the top of the WTC later that afternoon. We were turned around in New York by phone calls from Dad...

Anyhow, to not be prepared for the next one, and you know there will always be a next one is completely unexcusable. Why this isn't job #1 of each of our elected officials baffles me. don't even try to say fighting in Iraq is making us safer cause I don't buy it. Getting out of Iraq is like trying to step off a land mine. Whether you do it one clean, quick movement or you slowly remove pressure, the end result is a mess.

Sadly, I don't see the other political parties rally with different ideas, focused on, "I would do this "instead of just, "hey they are doing it wrong." Heck, I teach Reagan, the world needs solutions, not problems, so think about the problem until you have a solution. Why can't our leaders do the same?

More and more I think it will take a revolution to remove the politic culture (house, senate, white house)... who is with me?

Ian goes Punk

It, of course is my fault. You could say that about most anything. But this, this is pure genius. Yesterday, he and I were headed to get haircuts. He says, "what kind of haircut are you getting Daddy?". I give my stock answer, "mohawk". He giggles and says, "me too, we'll be twins." He is smiling ear to ear. Next comes the part where I carefully extract myself from getting said mohawk. He says, "i don't care I am getting a mohawk." I saw ok thinking Mel will never allow. She says ok.

Five minute update

Sorry, 5 is all you get today...ok at least for now. Here are the top stories from the past week: Thanksgiving. What happens when you don't see family and don't eat Turkey? Not so bad, sorry family. We had a blast watching the parade in NYC, it was a beautiful warm day. The kids and mostly Mel enjoyed the floats and balloons. We'll be back next year. You can see a slide show of the images mel took, far too many up to the right -----> Best quote at a concert, Best thing to happen to my brother in front of me, "Sir, would you buy me a beer?" -underage girl at State Radio Concert. Probably the last 18 and older show we go to. Save the security team, we were the oldest folks there... And FYI, Rob didn't buy her one, what a good guy. Then we talked about if we'll still come to these concerts if Reagan happens to go to the same one... We decided she isn't leaving the house watching some young girl crowd surf... Prickly Pear is out of the water....
