The King Is Dead: Michael Jackson (1958-2009)
I can't go into detail without uncontrollable sobbing, so all I can say is the following:
"At 21 years old, people I grew up with aren't suppose to be dieing. "I will miss you Michael. No matter what they accused you of, you proved them wrong. Thank you for your contributions to the world. Part of my soul, also goes with you. Pop music is officially dead". We here at the Rated "R" Revolution send our condolences to the Jackson family and all the Friends and fans. I was a true Michael fan, and He will be missed."

"SIGNED SEALED DELIVERED I'M YOURS!" Army Sgt. gets her dog home
UPDATE: Upon my previous update of this story, Mrs. Katie Konrath (getFreshMinds.com) a friend of the Sergeant had gotten in touch with me and said the following "Gwen and Ratchet are both home now since she's finished her tour of duty in Iraq. Thanks for sharing this story and for your concern"
Last October, I wrote to tell you that the Army told Sgt. Gwen Beberg the the puppy she saved and adopted from a burning pile of trash. Here is the update
Ratchet now has his own senator - and 50,000 friends
"Powerful friends in Washington, D.C., and a worldwide outcry by dog lovers have prompted the U.S. military to agree to release Ratchet, the Iraqi puppy an Army sergeant from Spring Lake Park is trying to get to her Minnesota home.
But the black-and-white mutt isn't home free, yet. On Wednesday, because of what a rescue group says was a slow release by the military, the pup missed the flight that would have gotten him out of Baghdad.
Operation Baghdad Pups will make a special trip back to Iraq on Sunday to try to retrieve him.
Sgt. Gwen Beberg, who adopted Ratchet as a tiny 4-week-old pup after fellow soldiers in Baghdad rescued him from a pile of burning trash, sent her mother a short e-mail Wednesday when she heard the news.
"I AM THRILLED THAT RATCHET IS GOING HOME," she wrote.
But Beberg's mother, Pat, said she won't relax until the dog is in the hands of Operation Baghdad Pups. The branch of SPCA International, which was founded a year ago and relies on donations to rescue dogs and cats adopted by American military personnel in Iraq, has flown more than 50 dogs and cats to the United States.
"It's wonderful," Pat Beberg said. "But until he's in the hands of the Operation Baghdad Pups people, we still have to be a little reserved and cautious."
Gwen Beberg has described the puppy as a comfort during a rough year in Iraq. She is supposed to return to the United States next month, and she tried to get Ratchet to her parents' home in Spring Lake Park before she was transferred to a new base in Iraq last week. But a superior officer confiscated the dog on the way to the airport. Military regulations prohibit soldiers from adopting pets in Iraq.
Pat Beberg learned that Ratchet's departure from Iraq had been cleared when Sen. Amy Klobuchar called her cell phone as she was driving to the dentist. She hopes Ratchet's case might get the military to reconsider its policy against pets.
"I want to make sure that other soldiers do not encounter this," Beberg said. "[Gwen] is using a puppy to handle stress. Isn't that so much better than popping a handful of pills?"
Ratchet's case has ignited a firestorm of interest on the Internet. By Wednesday afternoon, petitions demanding clemency for the dog had been signed by more than 50,000 people around the world, and the pup's story was posted on almost 27,000 websites. Supporters called congressional offices and Army headquarters this week demanding that something be done to save the dog. The offices of Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., and Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., also pushed for the dog's release.
Northwest Airlines has offered to fly Ratchet from Kuwait to Minneapolis. Beberg's parents would keep Ratchet until Beberg leaves the Army early next year. " Star Tribue- Minn.

Another Reason to love my President
Obama to extend benefits to gay workers
According to the AP, "President Barack Obama plans to extend health care and other benefits to the gay and lesbian partners of federal employees, White House officials said Tuesday.
The officials said Obama plans to announce decision on Wednesday in the Oval Office. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the president had not yet made the announcement.
The move would give partners of federal employees access to health care and financial benefits such as relocation fees for moves. Officials said Obama would give more details of the decision on Wednesday."

Pastor Drake Prays For Obama's Death
Citizens,
You have got to be kidding me! I have no words to explain this garbage. All I am saying is that this is the reason that people are dieing and it needs to be stopped before other DIE. That is the ENDING OF LIFE. This is the same GOD that says:
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
--1 John 4:20
"It says it is better to be aborted in the womb than to live an unhappy or wicked life."
Jeremiah 20:14-18
So No Sir, You have no idea where you are going when you die.

This is really upsetting.
This blog believes that "if there is a Judgment Day" as Bill "O" says I would much rather be guilty of associating with doctors providing health care to women then be guilty of association with Bill O Riley, along with Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. I was raised to believe that my God is a loving God and not wanting us to walk into a church and blow somebody away.
