<br />
If putting up a mosque (or supposed cultural center) on the 9/11 grounds is 'ok' because we live in a land of religious freedom, and the land of the free... why all the hoopla about burning a quaran???(it is NOT something i condone)  <br />
<br />
Why arent these same people out there speaking out in support of the 'right' of this wacko in fla (or wherever it is he's at) to exercise his religious freedom to burn a book???  shouldnt it be 'ok' for him to exercise his freedom?  <br />
<br />
an American general speaking out against it???  WTF?!  Putting our troops in danger?  When do we tell the Muslims that be-heading another Christian will result in serious consequenses?  <br />

			<description><![CDATA[*Edit* - I have changed things to reflect the now likely scenario that the severe weather event will happen locally on Friday instead of Thursday.<br />
<br />
Since the forecast models are in pretty good agreement, I figured I'd make a post about the severe weather that looks to be heading our way for next week. There are 2 'systems' expected to move through - each of which will likely produce severe weather if model trends continue. <br />
<br />
System 1 (Monday 9-6-10):<br />
A low pressure system is expected to move towards our area from the southwest sometime late Sunday into Monday as well as an associated warm front and cold front. The big question right now with this system is if the cap will be breakable (just to review a cap is a layer of warm air in the upper atmosphere that stops thunderstorms from developing). If it is breakable, thunderstorms will likely develop with all modes of severe weather anticipated (large hail, damaging winds and probably a few tornadoes). Also, it is possible our area will see some late night severe storms Sunday night as well as the system moves into our area. <br />
<br />
System 2 (Thursday 9-9-10):<br />
The next system looks to move into our area probably on Thursday. Of the 2 systems, this one appears to be much stronger. In fact, if model trends continue on this system, we may be looking at another tornado outbreak similar to June 17th somewhere in the northern plains (right now Minnesota looks to be in the bulls eye for this outbreak) . Of course we are a week away yet so a lot of things could change. I figured I'd give you guys a heads up though as the weather is starting to cool and feel more 'Fall like' so people tend to let down their guards. However, that second system looks like it may be a very dangerous one next week so I will keep an eye on it and try to keep you guys informed.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Severe weather looks pretty likely for tomorrow across southern Minnesota and Iowa. Damaging wind and hail will be the primary threats with these storms.  I should mention there is also a chance of a severe storm locally sometime well after midnight tonight as well but Tuesday will be the main day for severe weather locally. <br />
<br />
We are approaching the end of severe weather season. September is usually a transition month were the temps really start to drop off. However, we can still have severe weather on occasion but the likelihood will steadily decrease from here on out.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This will give you something to think about, you have to read it all to get it.<br />
<br />
Let's vote them all out. WalMart vs. The Morons<br />
<br />
1. Americans spend &#36;36,000,000 at WalMart every hour of every day<br />
<br />
2. This works out to &#36;20,928 profit every minute!<br />
<br />
3. WalMart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.<br />
<br />
4. WalMart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target +Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined.<br />
<br />
5. WalMart employs 16 million people, is the world's largest private employer, and most speak English.<br />
<br />
6. WalMart is the largest company in the history of the world.<br />
<br />
7. WalMart now sells more food than Kroger and Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only fifteen years.<br />
<br />
8. During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.<br />
<br />
9. WalMart now sells more food than any other store in the world.<br />
<br />
10. WalMart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had five years ago.<br />
<br />
11. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at WalMart stores. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 Billion.)<br />
<br />
12. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a WalMart.<br />
<br />
You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground work for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run WalMart to fix the economy.<br />
<br />
This should be read and understood by all Americans Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!<br />
<br />
To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature,<br />
<br />
It is now official you are ALL corrupt morons:<br />
<br />
a.. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.<br />
<br />
b... Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke. c.. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.<br />
<br />
d.. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right; &#36;1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.<br />
<br />
e.. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.<br />
<br />
f.. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.<br />
<br />
g.. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of &#36;24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.<br />
<br />
You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars.<br />
<br />
AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??<br />
<br />
WE OUGHT TO KICK YOU EGG-HEAD BUMS OUT OF OFFICE AND HIRE WALMART TO RUN THE GOVERNMENT! WALMART SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS.......<br />
<br />
WHY DON'T YOU GUYS JUST ADMIT its WAY BEYOND YOUR PAY GRADE, AND QUIT?]]></description>
