I haven’t seen any coverage by our local news showing any City of Dallas official publicly thanking Mark Cuban for his generosity of paying for Thursday’s parade.
While reading Ripley’s Believe It or Not I learned Frenchman Jean Pierre Blanchard carred the first U.S. Airmail by hot air balloon in 1793, which was a letter from President Washington to the owner of the land wherever he balloon sat down. Upon further research on Blanchard, I learned he died by having a heart attach on a hot air balloon and falling 50 feet. Later, his widow continued to fly balloons but died when her hydrogen balloon was ignited during a fireworks display in Paris.
Bill Gates has given over $28 billion to charity and Bono stayed at his house when the band was playing in Seattle. Link
At first I thought Rep Weiner should not have to step down since he didn’t break any law or rules (that I was aware of). But now it seems he’s at the point that no one will take him seriously, which means he will no longer be able to effectively represent his district. So now I’m thinking he should step down to do what’s best for the people in his district.
I mentioned a while ago that a man (Richard Ochoa) who grew up in WifeGeeding’s hometown wrote a book which included WifeGeeding’s father as a major influence in his life. That author was recently on a radio show and WifeGeeding and I listened to the podcast. WifeGeeding’s mother called in, and it was extremely touching to hear hear break down in proud loving tears talking about how proud and how much she loved her husband. I hope I can live a life in which my wife and children can even care and love me just a smidgen of the amount I heard what was in WifeGeeding’s mother’s voice. I hope one day they can be proud of me.
NBC has a new showing coming this fall called “The Playboy Club” and one Utah station has decided not to air it. First of many? People like stading up for their beliefs, especially defending family value, so I would expect places like Abilene and some other midwestern cities to follow suit.
Aside from the possible 17 year old there was no illegality in Rep. Weiner's actions. I agree with you except that I don't think legality should be the measuring stick for congressional behavior. His resignation should be because he disgraced himself and his office. Then again, I suppose if he's an accurate 'representative' of the people of New York's 9th district then we have no argument.
I can't remember if the story ran on Fox 4 or WFAA, but I did see a piece on Monday where Vonciel Jones Hill told the reporter that she was very thankful that Mark Cuban was paying for the parade during the current city budget situation.
