Depending on which feature you use, Google Maps offers a satellite view or a street-level view of tons of locations around the world. You can look up landmarks like the Pyramids of Egypt or the Great Wall of China, as well as more personal places, like your ex’s house. But for all of the places that Google Maps allows you to see, there are plenty of places that are off-limits. Whether it’s due to government restrictions, personal-privacy lawsuits or mistakes, Google Maps has slapped a “Prohibited” sign on the following 51 places.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Sometimes it’s hard to find much brotherly love on the campaign trail, particularly in a hard-fought, high-profile race for an open seat in the U.S. House.
But that’s exactly what the pastor of Montgomery’s First Baptist Church, the Rev. Jay Wolf, hopes he sees in abundance as two of his church’s deacons campaign for the right to represent Alabama’s 2nd District in Congress.
Montgomery Mayor Bobby Bright, the Democratic Party nominee, and state Rep. Jay Love of Mont gomery, the GOP nominee, are running for the south east Alabama seat held by retiring U.S. Rep. Terry Everett.
While Barack Obama has struggled to capture the Jewish vote, it turns out that one of his wife’s cousins is the country’s most prominent black rabbi — a fact that has gone largely unnoticed.
Michelle Obama, wife of the Democratic presidential nominee, and Rabbi Capers Funnye, spiritual leader of a mostly black synagogue on Chicago’s South Side, are first cousins once removed. Funnye’s mother, Verdelle Robinson Funnye (born Verdelle Robinson) and Michelle Obama’s paternal grandfather, Frasier Robinson Jr., were brother and sister.
I never really understood that whole “once removed” stuff, so I did a little research and found the following should you have the same confusion as I do. Â Link
When the word “removed” is used to describe a relationship, it indicates that the two people are from different generations. You and your first cousins are in the same generation (two generations younger than your grandparents), so the word “removed” is not used to describe your relationship.

This quote caught my attention, ”Mrs. Palin needs to be reminded that Jesus Christ was a community organizer and Pontius Pilate was a governor.” Politico
I made a post about Palin back in April that is all of a sudden getting a lot of traffic.
A friend at work was shocked when he found out I have never been to a strip club.
The divisiveness in this country worries me. Â These United States sure don’t feel so united these days. Â I’m afraid it’s going to lead to a breakup of this country in the next 200-300 years.
I’m sure my readers know where I stand politically, but sometimes I just want to go on a political rant, but I’m afraid that would only be adding to the problem.
But then again, I’m reminded of an old cartoon on a door back in college that said, “Democracy is the sound of opinions clashing.”
When I was in high school and college, I felt like I had all the answers and the confidence to back them up in regards to the Christian faith. Â As I grew older, I started to question some areas that I blindly accepted in my youth, so I started a spiritual journey to find the answers to my questions. Â Along the way, a lot of pastors spoke condescendingly to me about my search saying it was a lack of faith and that my relationship with Christ is not genuine. Â To this day, I don’t feel comfortable talking to pastors, I think there are only two that I would feel comfortable with. Â Well, maybe three, if you count George the Bible scholar, but then again, he’s also an Eagles fan.
I still haven’t found what I’m looking for, but I’m still searching.
It’s rare and hard for me to be open on this blog, that’s why the majority of time you will only see post of links that don’t offer my two cents. Â I don’t take criticism well.

I had to look up the term WASPy yesterday.
I often think of moving out of state just to experience a different America since I’ve lived all my life in West and North Texas.
I often hear the term “liberal media.” Â Can the media be liberal if there’s such a thing as Fox News?
I miss my hometown but don’t think I can ever return to visit it again.
When I first started this blog I made all my posts starting at 5:30 AM. Â Now I make most of my posts in the evening and schedule them to post the next morning.
Favorite lunches when I was in school:Â salisbury steak, steak fingers, hamburger, chicken nuggets, stromboli. Â I think I was the only kid that drank white milk, everyone else chose chocolate.
My video to be the next Southwest Airlines Blog-o-spondent came in 6th place and I will be interviewed on Friday.
I’ve never been a believer that the defending champs of any sports should be considered the favorites to win again. Â Each year teams loses and gain players and personnel, so every team on every level becomes different from the previous year. Â Since the champs are now a different team, I don’t see how they can still be stated as the favorites.
Usually the NFL Kickoff game has a big pregame production, but nothing this year.
I was surprised that the Giants didn’t run through a giant replica of a Super Bowl ring like the Colts did last year, which I thought was pretty darn cool.
Dos Equis commericals on TV or the radio crack me up, I can’t get enough of them.
