RSSThe Attack on America September 11, 2001 … DO YOU REMEMBER, PLEASE DO NOT EVER FORGET
Eight years ago this morning, September 11, 2001 it was cool beautiful Fall morning when it happened. Then it happened again. Please take time in your day to remember and reflect back on that day and the following days after September 11. Take time to remember and say a prayer.
Do you remember where you were and what you were doing?
We can no longer put our heads in the sand and pretend like 9–11 never happened. Many of us lost colleagues, former class mates, fellow church members and people among our communities that day.
It has been seven years since the fateful morning of September 11, 2001 when a plane hijacked by muslim terrorists crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City. Then another plane hijacked once again by Islamofascists flew into the second Trade Center Tower. Then the Pentagon was attacked. Then a fourth hijacked plane went down in a field in Pennsylvania.
Hardly a Shocker … Jenny Sanford, Wife of SC Governor Mark Sanford Leaving the Governor’s Mansion … Splittsville
This is hardly shocking news … Jenny and Mark Sanford splitting up.
Ever since embattled South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford made the fatal comments that he was “hiking the Appalachian Trail,” … then admitted his affair with an Argentinian woman. After Governor Sanford’s disastrous press conference following his admissions, one wonders how moving day did not take place sooner. Personally, I am shocked he is still governor of South Carolina.
Jenny Sanford, the wife of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, announced Friday morning that she and their sons will leave the governor’s mansion in Columbia and settle in the Charleston area, a split that comes after the couple tried for seven weeks to mend their marriage.
On Friday, Jenny Sanford issued the following prepared statement:
SC Governor Mark Sanford Admits Affair with Argentinian Woman … From Missing to Wishing He was Missing … Appalachian, Argentina, Lost in Translation
BLAME IT ON RIO … OR IS IT ARGENTINA?
Mark Sanford, from Governor of South Carolina, to potential Presidential candidate to disgrace. At this point Sanford will be lucky to stay the Governor of SC after he admitted an affair with an Argentinian woman at a disastrous press conference yesterday. Maybe Sanford should have stayed in hiding after that debacle called a presser.
Really, Argentinia & Appalachian Trail are this close to each other.
Lost in translation … Who knew that a hike along the Appalachian Trail would translate to Argentinian Tale, or is it tail? One could have suspected that when the story came out of Sanford’s missing was a result of his hiking exploits, only to have his vehicle be found at the Atlanta airport, it was easy to suspect that something was amiss at the Circle K.
It is unbelievable that a man in Sanford’s position would act in such a selfish and reckless manner to his wife, his family and his state. Michelle Malkin aptly puts it … BASTARD! Hot Air makes a good point on their lesson; however, I have to correct them on one detail. This does not pertain if you are a Democrat and your name is Bill Clinton.
The lesson: If you want to have a career in national politics, keep it in your pants. If you want to conduct affairs, stay out of politics. If you use your public office to lie to your constituents and your family, you deserve everything coming your way. No sniveling
One thing is for certain, Mark Sanford must go.
It has nothing to do with the affair per se, just like when President Bill Clinton was asked to resign. It’s not and never about the sex, that is between you, your wife, your family and your God. You must go because you were derelict in your duties as the Governor of the great state of South Carolina. Of course, the media will make it all about the sex and the affair as that is lazy journalism that sell. Sadly, this situation is about much more.

David Letterman’s Pathetic Apology Way Too Late … I Take Full Responsibility for Bristol/Willow Palin Knocked Up Joke … Sexist, Creepy Pig
David Letterman … YOU ARE THE JOKE … and you need to be fired.
The whole joke and incident was just creepy.
What took you so long, a sincere apology would have been done immediately, not a week later after pressure came to bear against you. We all know what his first reaction was to the incident. Since when is it ok to cross the line and go after a child of a politician?
Vanderbilt – 09
Letterman, a onetime successful comedian has sunk to desperate
levels. Overcome with apparent hate for all things Conservative,
this joker is grasping for straws. He claims to ‘regret’ many
of his scripted attempts at humor, but, needs to apologize
to the Palin family directly, and to all the women of the world
for chauvinistic statements he considers ‘Funny’!
It took David Letterman a week to realize that it was inappropriate and not funny to wish a 14 year old girl pregnant. Because it is really funny that you make a joke regarding Sarah Palin’s 14 year old daughter Willow and that she get “knocked up” by Alex Rodriguez. And no, we don’t buy the excuse that, you did not know. Frankly, you would not have cared as long as your hateful remarks were made against a Republican. In this case the child of a Republican.

The Dying Art of Handwriting? A Random Thought from Dugga
A recent article from the BBC asks if we’ll still be writing by hand at all 100 years from now.
“A century from now, our handwriting may only be legible to experts.”
A good question, indeed. I was trying to think of the last time I used “handwriting”. In 2nd grade, when I was taught the skill, we called it “cursive.” A few years later, as teachers would allow, my “cursive” writing gave way to “printed” letters. Now, my signature is little more than a scribble, and when pressed to do so, I admit to having trouble remembering how to form an uppercase “S” or differentiate between a lowercase “z” and “g”.
My desk at work is cluttered with chicken-scratch scribblings on yellow post it notes, but none of these amount to anything more than cheat-sheets or disposable reminders. Even in meetings when note-taking is required, I fire up my laptop and begin typing rather than grab a legal pad.
Perhaps I’m unique in that I spend 12 hours per day behind a keyboard. Spiral notebooks and fine writing utensils won’t be found among my business tools.
What are we losing by moving to a keyboard-based form of text communication? Does it even matter?
I’m interested in what you think, Monkeys. Of course, you will need to type in your response!

We’ve Come a Long Way Baby but not Done Yet: Martin Luther King Jr Day 2009 … Most Blacks Say MLK’s Vision Fulfilled
Today we honor the man and the tremendous efforts of slain Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and his “dream”. Very few can be called heroic, MLK is certainly one. We look back to a troubled time and we look to present day and the long journey and strides that this great nation has made toward MLK’s ultimate dream of equality so that all people could be able to “join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!.”
America has a lot to be proud of in the past 40+ years and the efforts that have been made and its accomplishment. Is it over, no. Not by a long shot. I am glad to know that the dream moves forward and not in reverse. However, according to a CNN poll most blacks think that MLK’s vision has been fulfilled.
There are few speeches that have had as much purpose and meaning as Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech. On August 23, 1963 civil rights leader Martin delivered one of the most impacting speeches on the Mall in Washington, DC that would echo across generations. (Read the entire speech here)
Martin Luther King Jr. “I have a Dream” Speech
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
I have a dream today!

Scared Monkeys Visits the Caylee Anthony Memorial … God Bless & Rest in Peace Caylee
In special memory of Caylee Anthony
Members of Scared Monkeys visited the Memorial to Caylee Anthony over the weekend to pay their respects and leave a note and a stuffed animal for little Caylee who never saw her third birthday. The contrast of the loving memorial and the crime scene are evident as the site of the memorial is just mere yards away from the location and crime scene where Caylee was discovered and less than a half a mile away from the home of Cindy and George Anthony. The outpouring of love for little Caylee has been evident from the outset of her known disappearance of a life cut far too short. Caylee Anthony became America’s little girl.
Caylee Anthony is in a much better place where she will never know again the insipid human qualities pain, jealousy, greed and resentment and only know eternal love. We have pointed out in the past that you deserved so much better in life; however, you are certain to get all the love you truly deserved in death. From all of us at Scared Monkeys we wish you the peace of the Lord, God bless and rest in peace.
