Michael Vick: Is it Remorse or is it Public Relations Spin?
Are you one of those who believes Michael Vick is truly sorry for what he did to hundreds of dogs he tortured and/or killed? Do you think he’s doing enough to show how much he’s sorry for what he did? Read on.
Michael Vick’s message of redemption and remorse isn’t going to reach a lot of folks who need to hear it by the sounds of things. From the AP article referenced below, Vick reportedly shows up in Decatur, Georgia (can you say Atlanta Falcons?) to speak to low-income youths regarding the perils of getting involved in dog fighting. Remember this is the action that everyone is hailing as the reason Vick deserves a second chance to make millions of dollars.
There’s only one small problem with it as I see it. You see, not only was nobody invited to hear what Vick had to say, (Vick’s “handlers” hand-picked the entire “crowd” of 55 people who were allowed in to hear him speak) but they also banned all media from the appearance. So there is no real record or witness to what it was exactly that he said if anything!Police were actually called in to banish the Associate Press folks from the property. Most of the people in this low-income community with kids who really could have benefitted from hearing a so-called “football star” speak with sincere remorse for his crimes were not even aware he was going to be in the neighborhood. Apparently lots of people showed up eventually once word got around that Vick was in the neighborhood but by the time, the opportunity was gone.
Vicks arrived and left 12 minutes later in a long black limousine looking for all the world like a regaled celebrity.
WTF is that? And what really gets my goat here is that this whole farce of atonement for Vicks is being supported and enabled by the HSUS (Humane Society of the United States). Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society, said the group wants to be open and reach as many people as possible with its anti-dog fighting message. But the tightly controlled appearance comes as Vick is trying to rehabilitate his image and ease his path back to the NFL.
The Humane Society did not publicize the event, going along with the media plan laid out by Vick’s handlers even if it meant missing the chance to make a real impact in a community where he is still revered for his brilliant play during six years with the Falcons. .
Brilliant play? Brilliant play? Obviously Pacelle is a biased football fan and therefore should remove himself from this case completely! I don’t care if the moron was a championship team all in one body he is still a convicted dog fighting felon!
"We’re giving him an opportunity to plug into our community-based forums," Pacelle said. "But he obviously has his own set of individuals who are working with him and want to present things in the way they want."
Hold on just one cotton pickin’ minute here! Who is this pansy Pacelle anyway and why is he speaking in tongues? Just who is in charge here? The HSUS or Vicks’ handlers? Obviously Vick is being allowed to dictate when, where, who and what he will do on his “oh so remorseful” attempt to right his past wrongs. Why do we even need to hear what Pansy Pacelle has to say? It’s painfully obvious that neither he or his weak kneed organization appear to have any control whatsoever on Vick’s so called tour of appearances to speak out on the wrongs of dog fighting.
I read somewhere that if another common man, black or white, had spent 18 months in jail, it would be almost impossible for him to get a job doing anything as most employers shy away from hiring convicted felons. Even sweeping floors or picking up garbage would be difficult to find for a ex-convict. 
So for those of you who still cling to the opinion that Michael Vick has done his time, is not being treated like a celebrity and is now making amends, read the article included in the link below.
It is my opinion that this whole “I’m so sorry and I’m going to make things right” journey of Michael Vick’s is nothing but a load of bullshit!

December 2010 lunar eclipse
A total lunar eclipse will take place on December 20/21, 2010.[2] It will be visible after midnight Eastern Standard Time on December 21 in North and South America. The beginning of the total eclipse will be visible from northern Europe just before sunrise. The end of the total eclipse will be visible rising at sunset for Japan and northeastern Asia; it will also be visible in the Philippines just after sunset (as a partial lunar eclipse). It will be the first total lunar eclipse in almost 3 years, the last being on February 20, 2008. [3]
It is the second of two lunar eclipses in 2010. The first was a partial lunar eclipse on June 26, 2010. It will be the first total lunar eclipse to occur on the day of the Northern Winter Solstice (Southern Summer Solstice) since 1638, and only the second in the Common Era.[4][5]

My grandson looks like an Angel...
This is such a beautiful picture of my little 2 year old grandson AJ. He looks like an Angel with his halo decorating his Christmas tree just the way he wants it. It's beautiful just like him. He is so big and smart, as you can see of course. The way he is concentrating on the decorating is so cute, he has every little detail down, he want's it just right. I can't believe how big he is getting, and independent, he wouldn't let Mommy or Daddy help him, he just had to do it by himself, as he says "no I do it". I just love him and his Mommy and Daddy so much!

Birthday Horoscopes for 12/08
Birthday Horoscopes for 12/08
The December 8th persons fate is in Saturn, the ruling planet for this day. They are aggressive in their life's pursuits and make friends easily wherever they go. The saturnine effect in this persons life mostly comes in the form of indecision. As a mate, the December 8th tends toward unconventional relationships.
A look ahead; Our thoughts can be restricted by our desires.
Is your birthday on the 8th day of the month?
Is your birthday day 8 of the month?
Your Life, You have pleasant and friendly personality. People look up to your wit and imagination. You are unpredictable and hardly complete what you started, which sometimes create negative impact to people around you. Your Love, Falling in love becomes your routine. Most of the time, you are lucky. You fascinate people with good taste but you never have enough with one. Although your love progresses very fast, it never lasts.

Dear President Obama,
As one of the millions you represent and as a concerned citizen, I urge you to use your Executive authority and encourage Congress to enact legislation allowing all unemployed Americans to receive an extension of Unemployment Insurance beyond the current 99 week maximum. Over five million of us have exhausted up to 99 weeks of unemployment insurance without being able to find a job. Millions of us have had no income since March. Many of us have fallen or are falling into homelessness, despair and even suicide as we can't find a job, have no more money left, and don't know how we're going to survive.
We need your help, Mr. President! We need unemployment insurance extended beyond 99 weeks because there simply are not enough jobs for all of us. Tax incentives and lowering interest rates alone have not stimulated job creation. We thereby request that you urge both the Senate and the House to do what is necessary to truly stimulate the economy and consumer spending: place the dollars back into the hands of Americans who will in turn immediately spend those same dollars. This will not only save lives of 99ers now, but will also help stimulate our economy back to health, helping prevent more Americans from losing their jobs.
* According to the Economic Policy Institute and others there is only 1 job for every 5 unemployed persons, and 42% of all unemployed have been unemployed for over 6 months, with 21.9% unemployed for over 1 year.*** (IHS Global Insight predicts the total number of jobs in the U.S. won't return to pre-recession levels until 2013. And that doesn't account for the growth in the labor force.)
* Lawrence Summers, Director of the White House National Economic Council was quoted as saying, %u201CThe reality is that the most important economic impact of extending relief through unemployment insurance is to increase consumer spending, thereby contributing to employment, not to prolong joblessness.%u201D
* Every dollar spent on unemployment insurance raises gross domestic product (GDP) by $1.60*. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office recently reported that increasing aid to the unemployed is more cost%u2010effective in terms of boosting economic growth and employment than a variety of other policies under consideration.**
Christmas is approaching but this year millions of formerly hard-working Americans - instead of enjoying a festive Christmas celebation - will find themselves wondering why their government has chosen to abandon them and leave them in abject poverty during this Holiday Season.
Mr. President, while Congress has chosen to leave so many people victims of an economic disaster, we need you to do what is best for this country and push for legislation that will give the safety net of unemployment benefits to all those who need them, beyond 99 weeks. We 99ers are counting on you, sir, to help us. Please motivate Congress to use stimulus money or trade for tax cuts, to give extended benefits to 4-5 million 99ers who are suffering without income. This is an economic tsunami, Mr. President, and Americans need your help!
Please do the right thing and step in and help the 99ers while at the same time helping the American Economy.
Sincerely,
Member, American 99ers Union

All 15 million people out of work Need UI Benefits
- Target: American People Need to Survive While out of work through no fault of their own
- Sponsored by: 99ers of America
PLEASE VOTE YES ON S.3981, with the inclusion of an extension of unemployment insurance beyond the current 99 week maximum. This will allow for ALL unemployed Americans to immediately take part in the recovery and get back to work ASAP. This is not only the right thing to do for our suffering, hard working citizens, but also good for our economy according to leading economic experts. In the spirit of bipartisanship we urge you to trade tax cuts for those making over $250,000 for at least 24 weeks of extended benefits beyond 99 weeks, for the "99ers".
