The Double-Standard Gets a Fresh Look

I have decided to make a post specifically involving this video because of the relevancy it has as it relates to our current time and because of constant attacks against our current President George W. Bush for supposedly lying to go to war in Iraq.

The video clip is Al Gore speaking in 1992 about Iraq, it's ties to terrorists and Saddam's possession of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). This speech takes place after the gulf war is over. Al Gore is criticizing then President Bush Sr. for not completely doing something about the Iraq threat with Saddam still in power. The video is just over 9 minutes.

After viewing much of the video, my only question is if Bush lied about an Iraq threat, WMD's, and the terrorist threat, etc. then what is Al Gore talking about?

Today is Quite Special but this Blog Post Isn't Really

Today is a special day---not only is it my Grandma's birthday (she's 82), but it was one year ago today that I put forth a proposal. I asked my Sweetheart, Reada for her hand in marriage--- to clarify, I asked her to marry me---not just her hand. Anyhow, sadly I was reminded of this special day by Reada herself. Am I a guy or what?! However, to put your mind at ease,
I'm planning to remember our wedding anniversary. We shall see how I do when it comes around on December 29--I mean December 30th, or was it the 1st? I need to check my website.
Ok, for all of you ladies who might be concerned if I really don't remember when I was married...as if it's a big important day or something......well, I'll just have to keep you guessing. Now I remember it was foggy and drizzling last June 12th but today is delightfully bright and blue.

In other news, Reada and I think we heard a bear roar last night. It was either a bear roaring, somebody playing a tape of a bear roaring or a motorcycle. I'll rule out the tape of the bear. Did you know that a motorcycle and a bear are similar and yet different? I'll try to explain why.

You see, a motorcycle has two wheels and a bear has four legs. A bear is a animal and a motorcycle is a motor vehicle. A bear eats garbage and well, a motorcycle just eats gas. A bear is soft and a motorcycle usually is metal.

However, a bear roars and so can a motorcycle. A bear can be referred to as a "beast" as can a motorcycle. Occasionally a motorcycle is referred to as a "bear" to ride or a wild animal. We know a bear is a wild animal and since a bear isn't ridden it usually is just referred to as a "bear". So you see, a bear and a motorcycle are similar and yet have differences too. And before I forget, a motorcycle is sometimes referred to as a hog....and when it eat lots of gas...it's a gas hog !
