I don't really listen to WZZK.

I got the shirt free from a WZZK truck in front of Food World in Jasper. We just asked, "hey do you have any free stuff?" They dug around for a while and found this shirt. I mow grass in it now.

I know I haven't updated in a while, and there won't be one in this post. But I did see this article today on yahoo.com and it made me realize how bad one of the popular selections for presidet really is. I guess I'll do my last ditch effort to get the states to see the truth. The link to the article is below. Its obvious this guy cares nothing about the country or its laws. It would be different if this was his 3rd cousin's twice removed sisters husband, but this is his Aunt. His fathers half sister. You know he knew about her.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081101/ap_on_el_pr/obama_aunt

WASHINGTON – Barack Obama's aunt, a Kenyan woman who has been quietly living in public housing in Boston, is in the United States illegally after an immigration judge rejected her request for asylum four years ago, The Associated Press has learned.

Zeituni Onyango (zay-TUHN on-YANG-oh), referred to as "Aunti Zeituni" in the Democratic presidential candidate's memoir, was instructed to leave the United States by a U.S. immigration judge who denied her asylum request, a person familiar with the matter told the AP late Friday. This person spoke on condition of anonymity because no one was authorized to discuss Onyango's case.

Onyango, 56, is Obama's late father's half-sister, the Obama campaign has confirmed. She is not a relative whom Obama, 47, has discussed in campaign appearances and, unlike Obama's father and his maternal grandmother, is not someone who has been part of the public discussion about his personal life.

The Obama campaign declined to comment late Friday night.

Information about the deportation case was disclosed and confirmed by two separate sources, one a federal law enforcement official. The information they made available is known to officials in the federal government, but the AP could not establish whether anyone at a political level in the Bush administration or in the McCain campaign had been involved in its release.

Onyango's refusal to leave the country would represent an administrative, noncriminal violation of immigration law, meaning such cases are handled outside the criminal court system. Estimates vary, but many experts believe there are more than 10 million such immigrants in the U.S.

According to Federal Election Commission documents filed by the Obama campaign, Onyango has contributed $260 to Obama over a period of time. Under federal election law, only U.S. citizens or green-card holders are legally permitted to give money to campaigns. Onyango, who listed her employer as the Boston Housing Authority, gave in small increments to the Obama campaign. Her latest contribution was $5 on Sept. 19.

The AP could not immediately reach Onyango for comment. When a reporter went to her home Friday night, no one answered the door. A neighbor said she was often not home on the weekend. Onyango did not immediately return telephone and written messages left at her home. It was unclear why her request for asylum was rejected in 2004.

A spokeswoman for U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, Kelly Nantel, said the government does not comment on an individual's citizenship status or immigration case.

Onyango's case — coming to light just days before the presidential election — led to an unusual nationwide directive within Immigrations and Customs Enforcement requiring that any deportations before Tuesday's election be approved at least at the level of the agency's regional directors, the U.S. law enforcement official told the AP.

The unusual directive suggests that the administration is sensitive to the political implications of Onyango's case coming to light so close to the election.

The East African nation has been fractured in violence in recent years, including a period of two months of bloodshed after December 2007 that killed 1,500 people.

Boston Mayor Thomas Menino said Saturday that he had no idea how Onyango might have qualified for public housing with a standing deportation order. He said he's not involved in the operations of the agency, even though he appoints the head, because it runs mainly on federal and state dollars.

William McGonagle, deputy director of the Boston Housing Authority, said when contacted: "I know nothing about it and I've got no comment."

i'd love an SEC championship and a win over auburn. that would be an awesome season - with or without a national title.

 
bama_amy

it's going to take some time for me to move past this. It's troubling to see America buy into this. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised by his changes.

I agree that now we must support and pray and remember that God is still in control and he hears the prayers of the righteous.

Wayne, IN. i saw your name on a friend's friend list and thought i recognized it, so i thought i'd say hi. i have a WZZK shirt too, but i don't listen to it either.

My latest "go or go home" 07-11-08 03:11pm EST

There's something in car racing they call go or go home qualifying. Today I had my second "go or go home" test today, as the second phase of training came to a close. I am happy to report that I passed my systems final with a 94. WHOOOO HOOOO!

Jess and I are taking off Monday and Tuesday to celebrate. We are thinking of heading up to Charlotte and visiting Carowinds amusement park.

Everything else is going great. We finished season 4 of 24. What a great show. Still probably the best I have ever saw. I am watching a show right now on DVR called scare tactics. Sounded interesting so I thought I'd give it a try. This is actually hilarious.

Gotta run for now, that's the update. JB

smallfry79

Congrats on passing. :-) Feels good to get things like that behind you.

 
bama_amy

congrats on making it through! enjoy your vacation!

 
jake28

congrats on your test score! you must get your genius from "you know who"!! i'm glad "you know who" didn't blow up "you know what" last weekend. :)

 
jake28

yeah, your mom told me that about the machine gun. but, i mean, your dad works in pratt city and they live in the hit capital of the world. why would machine guns seem so strange??

 
2teach2day

Ok Somehow I deleted your message on my page. Is this going to be harder than I thought?

 
2teach2day

I am so sorry that I did that. Please don't be offended, post again. For some reason I thought the "X" would take me to your page. Oops! I was wrong and yes, I am admitting it.

 
jake28

well, my friend...looks like your blog just got a little busier, if ya know what i mean. ;)

 
2teach2day

no, what do you mean?

 
no_clever_name

Jeremy Bailey...this is Joel Holt. I just got an account recently and had no clue you were on here! My email is still fairmont83(at)hotmail(dot)com. We're living in AL now, halfway between Florence and Athens (Rogersville, if you know where that is). Email me and we'll talk sometime.

 
no_clever_name

How long ago did you send the email. If it's been a few days, my spam filter may have killed it. If so, try sending it again...if not, I'll be looking for it.

 
jake28

We'll be in GA Aug. 15-21. Going to Helen to spend a few days with Anna's fam and to celebrate Grandma & Grandpa's 65th anniversary.

 
andtheking

no_clever_name

2teach2day

So I haven't wrote in a while 05-29-08 08:12am EST

Hadn't really had much to write about. We work, we eat, we sleep. Work isn't going to allow for a vacation anytime soon, so we aren't really making any grand plans to go anywhere. We did celebrate our 4 year anniversary this past month. Time really flies. It seems like we just got married and moved out here and we turn around and its 4 years.

So we just had a day off. I grilled some ribs. I think they were close to my best. We had the preacher and his wife over for ribs and shopping/watching a recorded race. Yes, I am slowly taking up watching racing. I still don't get some of it, an I usually can't make it through an entire race without falling asleep, but there is something interesting about it. I can blame Dan M. for this new thing to watch.

Speaking of watching TV, we found 24. Where has this show been all my life???? This is possibly the best show on TV! We are trying to watch all the seasons before January, which is when the new season starts. If you've never watched it, I recommend getting season one and clearing your schedule. I know, we are probably a little late to the party, but this show is great!

Well, that's about it for my boring life. Later JB

drquest

Yep, 24 is definitely a great show......the new season starts in January 09!

 
jeremy_bailey

Oh, if anyone is interested here are the rest of the answers to my movie game...1)dumb and dumber, 2) hoosiers, 3) Apollo 13, 4) Major Payne, i) Happy Gilmore.

 
jake28

your comments on my honey's blog are so typical of "the jer"! what i want to know is, why weren't you man enough to make those degrading remarks about my msu stuff on my blog? :) we had 2 garage sales last year, as we had a lot of stuff each of us had accumulated before marriage and now what we've accumulated in the last 2 years. we might have another sale before we move, but we won't have too much to sale. so, how are things with you and jess? are you still running like a mad man?

 
andtheking

ohh..great advice about the grill!

 
jake28

well, if that's all i'll get for my msu stuff, then it's not even worth bothering to sell any of anna's bama stuff, since state is the ALABAMA STATE CHAMPS the last 2 years (beat bama, aubby & uab). ;)

 
drquest

Yep, and I am STILL creeped out when I am in the house or getting in bed. Pretty pathetic for a grown man my age, but this thing had to be 4 or 5 feet long. Ughhhhhhh....

 
2teach2day

How's the simulator? Had any meltdowns lately?

Movie Quote Game - Stolen from Anna's page 03-28-08 05:18pm EST

I love movie games! Try to guess the movie. Here are the rules

Movie Quote Game

The Rules!

Pick 10 of your favorite movies.

Go to IMDb (Internet Movie Database) and find a quote from each movie.

Post them here for everyone to guess (if you know them all, please don't guess every one).

I'll strike them out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.

No Googling or IMDb-ing. (That would be cheating, and no fun!)

I tried to make them recoginizable and pick novice level. I did use to work at a blockbuster.

a) COMEDY - 1) We got no food, no jobs... our PET'S HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!" 2) That's a lovely accent you have. New Jersey? Lady at bus stop: Austria. Main character: Austria! Well, then. G'day mate! Let's put another shrimp on the barbie! Lady at bus stop: Let's not.

Sports Drama b) 1) If you put your effort and concentration into playing to your potential, to be the best that you can be, I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, in my book we're gonna be winners. 2) Let's win this game for all the small schools that never had a chance to get here.

Drama c) 1) Looks like we've had our glitch for this mission. 2) Failure is not an option! 3) Houston, we have a problem!

Comedy d) 1) Who's the person that got me this blood on this lip? Who's responsible? Don't all run at once. Maybe no one's responsible. I guess I just had that one a comin' Well you know what ya'll got a comin'? Seven twenty-three hour days of fun and adventure. I'm gonna make you boys strong! 2)Lady: can you please help me to understand why you shaved the children bald? Man: Oh, that's my little incentive program. These boys have to earn their do... their hair-do that is. Heh,Heh,Heh.

e) I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. ---April got it...French Guard on Monty Python & the Holy Grail

f) Can somebody tell me what kind of a world we live in, where a man dressed up as a bat gets all of my press? This town needs an enema! ---ANNA GOT IT (WITH HELP FROM AN INSIDE SOURCE!), Jack Nicholson as The Joker, Batman

g) And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire... ----Amy got it! Milton from Office Space

Action/Drama h) 1)All right, you proved your point. You broke into my vault. Congratulations, you're a dead man. 2)Ten oughta do it, don't you think? You think we need one more? You think we need one more. All right, we'll get one more. -April got it...Ocean's eleven

Comedy i) 1)During high school, I played junior hockey and still hold two league records: most time spent in the penalty box; and I was the only guy to ever take off his skate and try to stab somebody 2) Forget it, I'm a hockey player, not a golfer.

Action j) 1)Seems to me, Cap'n, this mission is a serious misallocation of valuable military resources. 2) I'm a schoolteacher. I teach English composition... in this little town called Adley, Pennsylvania. The last eleven years, I've been at Thomas Alva Edison High School. I was a coach of the baseball team in the springtime. Back home, I tell people what I do for a living and they think well, now that figures. But over here, it's a big, a big mystery. So, I guess I've changed some. Sometimes I wonder if I've changed so much my wife is even going to recognize me, whenever it is that I get back to her. And how I'll ever be able to tell her about days like today. Ah, Ryan. I don't know anything about Ryan. I don't care. The man means nothing to me. It's just a name. But if... You know if going to Rumelle and finding him so that he can go home. If that earns me the right to get back to my wife, then that's my mission. You want to leave? You want to go off and fight the war? All right. All right. I won't stop you. I'll even put in the paperwork. I just know that every man I kill the farther away from home I feel. -April got it! Saving Private Ryan
