breaking news~
there has been a chemical plant explosion in new orleans about 20 minutes ago (5:15 am central time)

now because of all the violence and rapes and mayhem there, the police have shoot to kill orders for the looters and law breakers. there is anarchy there. and thats a crying shame. totally unnecessary. read my pal fi! and see how people in calcutta deal with the same thing all the time that the people in new orleans are dealing with now! i know that this may seem easy for me to say, but people need to band together for the common good. we live in an "instant" "we want it now!" society, and peole have got to realise that these things take time, and people have got to realise that they are making thier plight worse by running amok around the city, and shooting at helicopters and rescue efforts. it will only delay things more.
thats all i have to say on the subject.....



heres some friday stuff!!

Today is VJ Day, commemorating the 60th anniversary of this day in 1945 that the Japanese formally surrendered to the Allies, marking the official end of World War II. While VJ Day is commemorated in the U.S. on August 14, when news of the surrender reached our shores, it was today that Japanese officials joined American commanders aboard a battleship in Tokyo Bay for the official signing of the "instrument of surrender" -- interestingly enough, the very same instrument on which Cheap Trick would later record their 1978 classic of the same name.

In honor of the occasion, artist J. Seward Johnson has created a life-size sculpture of what is perhaps the most enduring image of the occasion: Alfred Eisenstadt's famous photograph of an American sailor smooching a nurse in Times Square. Original kiss-ee Edith Shain, now 87, was on hand for the unveiling and recalled the kisser as, frankly, a bit of a cold fish. "After he left me alone, I walked away," says Shain. "This was somebody I didn't know, so I couldn't relate to it at all." Way to get into it, lady. You might be the greatest generation, but at least our girls have gone wild.

Also today in 1969, the first automatic teller machine in the United States was installed in Rockville Centre, New York. The introduction of the ATM was a milestone for banking and convenience and was followed the very next day by another milestone: The first time anyone in a restaurant used the phrase, "I've only got twenties. Anyone got small bills? No? Everybody only has twenties? All right, well, I guess we'll just wait for change." Ah, progress.

thats all the news that i can use, all day long!! hava happy 3 day weekend!! i for one will be working!!
