Reading USA Today , Wednesday,s edition and in the money section I see Tim Horton,s stockholders just approved its sale. For about 11 billion dollars they will now be owned by Miami based, wait for it, Burger King. To be honest, Burger King is moving to Ontario, tax purposes, so Timmies wont be totally American. I just hope they don't try to mix them together and start serving Whoppers. Sorry to all my northern friends but little by little and soon you,ll be just like us. Just get rid of the ""eh"" and we got ya.

Hans Grapje was raised in a Catholic school in The Hague and, as a young man, aspired to become a priest, but was drafted into the Army during WWII and spent two years co-piloting B17s until his aircraft was shot down in 1943 and he lost his left arm. Captain Grapje spent the rest of the war as a chaplain, giving spiritual aid to soldiers, both Allied and enemy. After the war, he became a priest, serving as a missionary in Africa, piloting his own plane (in spite of his handicap) to villages across the continent. In 1997, Father Grapje was serving in Zimbabwe when an explosion in a silver mine caused a cave-in. Archbishop Grapje went down into the mine to administer last rites to those too severely injured to move. Another shaft collapsed, and he was buried for three days, suffering multiple injuries, including the loss of his right eye. The high silver content in the mine's air gave him purpura, a life-long condition characterized by purplish skin blotches. Although Cardinal Grapje devoted his life to the service of God as a scholar, mentor, and holy man, church leaders agree: he will never ascend to the Papacy. No one wants a one-eyed, one-armed, flying purple Papal leader.

http://wonkette.com/405196/roland-burris-has-already-constructed-his-terrifying-death-chamber It's refreshing to see a Chicago politician who thinks about nothing but serving the People of Illinois and not his own interests.

Don't know how many of our members have or are serving in our armed forces....but Gary and I just want to say a big thank you for making it possible to enjoy the 4th of July tomorrow. Can't help being a sorry sap who gets a tear or two when I see our local VFW walking past us with the flag flying. However you feel about the war right now, we all wish our troops home safe and soon, so thank you again for serving our country! HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO ALL OF YOU!http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/mcmahanphoto_2009_122119125
