Remembering Sam Levenson
Do you remember Sam Levenson? Not enough people do. He was such a clever man yet time has diminished the memory of his noteable wit. I thought I’d bring him into today’s forefront since his words remain just as pithy today as they were when he wrote them.
“Many wise words are spoken in jest, but they don’t compare with the number of stupid words spoken in earnest.”
“The first screw to get loose in your head is the one that holds your tongue in place.”
“A goat also has a beard, but that doesn’t make him a rabbi.”
“You’re only young once. After that it takes some other excuse for behaving like an idiot.”
“Even if the majority agrees on an idiotic idea, it is still an idiotic idea.”
“The greatness of this or any country may still be measured by the number of people trying to get IN vs the number trying to get OUT.”
“The best defense of our country is to keep it at all times WORTH defending.”
“War is better at abolishing nations than nations are at abolishing wars.”
“You can’t shake hands with a clenched fist.”
“The U.N. has been as effective against war as foghorns have been against Fog.”
“Behind every successful Jew stands a bigot who could not stop him.”
“There are more important things in life than money. The trouble is they all cost money.”
Re: sex education in schools: “Let them teach it! If the schools teach sex the way they teach everything else, the kids will lose interest anyhow.”
Levenson also wrote the well-known poem “Time Tested Beauty Tips” for his grandchild, which has become falsely attributed to Audrey Hepburn.

Libel Laws Don’t Prevent Blog ‘Mockery’
The Legal Intelligencer
Bloggers cannot be hit with libel suits on the basis of anonymous postings on their Web sites because federal law grants them immunity by explicitly stating they cannot be treated as the “publisher” of such comments, a federal judge in Pennsylvania has ruled. Blogger Tucker Max pronounced the judge’s decision “awesome,” saying that it derided the opposing party’s “dumbass lawyer” but also “reaffirms basically all the tenets of free speech.

You’ll never guess what day today is…
Today is a very special day. It is so because today is, Andy Beard’s birthday! Do drop by and wish him a very happy day. Andy lives in Poland and is one of our favorite Skype communicators. He’s a great partner to giggle with when exchanging ideas about upsetting blogging matters. He’s the man to have on your team!
Andy’s the Ace up our sleeve. To better support my reasoning regarding Andy being such an Ace up my sleeve, I just learned about Birthday’s and Namesday Celebration in Poland. I wouldn’t have learned this today if Andy hadn’t commented.

Just don’t breathe and you’ll be ok
“Valley fever is a hard disease to deduce”
“Visitors to Arizona could return home with more than a Kachina doll or turquoise jewelry. Kate Dahlgren, a playwright who lives in the Aspen Trails subdivision northeast of Durango from May to October and in Tucson in the winter, has just recovered from a six-month bout of valley fever.”
*Note:
Valley fever is a systemic disease meaning that it has no limitations within one’s anatomy. One can enter remission yet it is a lifelong disease once severely infected. It’s a chronic condition. And it is a very scary medical malady.

‘Twas the day after Thanksgiving…
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We sure did, insomuch, that it is safe to say that we’re still pretty much full of it.
Now on with the show. Xmas is almost here. YIKES!
Chief Joseph Quote
I believe much trouble and blood would be saved if we opened our hearts more. I will tell you in my way how the Indians see things. The white man has more words to tell you how they look to him, but it does not require many words to speak the truth.

Demand Comprehensive Hate Crime Legislation
Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: Parents, Families & Friends of Lesbians & Gays
On May 16, 2007, Sean Kennedy, a 20-year old gay man, was attacked on the streets of Greenville, South Carolina. He died of his injuries later that night. Yet, because of the lack of hate crimes legislation, his attacker will be eligible for parole in as little as 10 months. 
Sean was a brave young man with a bright, infectious smile. But his life was cut short and justice left unserved.
As it stands now, 23 states, including South Carolina, do not have hate crime laws that include sexual orientation, but passage of the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Action (LLEHCPA) would change that by strengthening existing laws and allowing the Department of Justice to assist local prosecutions, and where appropriate, investigate and prosecute cases.
Sean’s death shows that comprehensive hate crime legislation is urgently needed. Please support the LLEHCPA.

Which is worse?
I’ve been trying to figure out which is worse, ignorance or apathy.
Suddenly I realized that I don’t know and that I don’t care!
I feel ya, Peggy.

Wednesday’s Hero – Bert Brady
Indian Chris wrote, “A quick note first. Sunni Kay, sent this to me.”
Hero’s Run
You can donate or if you live near the Lockport, IL area you can participate. So, if you could let your readers know about this that would be great.
This Weeks Hero Was Suggested By Malinda
69-year-old Bert Brady has never stepped foot in Iraq or Afghanistan, yet many soldiers who have know who he is and appreciate what he’s done for them. You see, for the past year Mr. Brady has made a trip to the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport nearly every morning to welcome home returning American troops. Bert Brady, along with fellow veterans, is a member of the Welcome Home a Hero program. They make sure that every soldier who steps off a plane in Dallas gets a special homecoming.
Brady shows up each day with the goal of making soldiers feel appreciated and proud of their service. He’s often joined by veterans of the Vietnam and Korean wars who did not get a warm reception when they returned from battle.
“We are not going to forget them like a lot of Vietnam soldiers have been forgotten,” Brady said. “We are not going to forget the soldiers of today.”

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
