• The 79-Year-Old Who Awoke From 5-Year Coma With One (Odd) Wish Gets It Fulfilled

  April 12, 2013 at 1:30pm

  In reply to hi.

  That was my thought exactly…. I mean its nice that her wish came true (and she was able to meet him) but really..those aren’t vip seats….. the only way you could be further away would be to watch the concert on youtube ^^

• Better Than an Easter Egg Hunt? Meet the Man Who Says He’s Buried a Real Treasure for Anyone to Find

  April 1, 2013 at 5:12pm

  In reply to Oglethorpe1983.

  Just replying to my own comment… (I did something I really dislike in others— posting without reading the whole article; I just read the first paragraph and thought.. this is prob. a joke), but after deciding to actually read the whole article, which is quite interesting in and of itself, and the fact that this story is not “new”.. I take back my comment…”

  guess.. Im the “April Fool” :P

• Better Than an Easter Egg Hunt? Meet the Man Who Says He’s Buried a Real Treasure for Anyone to Find

  While its an interesting story.. its length and the ‘day of publication” lead me to wonder… perhaps The Blaze staff are having a little fun at our expense ^^…

• Loyal Dog Continues to Attend Mass Every Day at Church Where His Owner’s Funeral Was Held

  Nice story.. and there are similar cases from all around the world

  Like the story of Hachiko ( a dog in Japan in the 30′s who went to the train station every day for years… wait for his master to come home from work)

• Odd? Romney Got ZERO Votes In 59 Precincts in Philly, and 9 Precincts in Ohio

  November 12, 2012 at 3:58pm

  Im curious does anyone have (or know where you can find) a more detailed listing of the precinct voting totals?

  I live in one of those pure blue areas.. and.Id like to know if one of those 0 vote areas is my precinct because that means MY vote as well as those of my family (and friends) were not counted…

  If there is a list please let me know…

  (Ill check back in a short while to see if anyone replies)

  thanks

• ‘Nobody 2012′: Occupy Wall Street Turns on Obama

  August 1, 2012 at 1:38pm

  While I disagree with easily 90% of what the “Occupiers” hold up as thier ideologies.. I think most here would agree on two things.. the first, (and this point has been made before–so I wont elaborate greatly is the problem with gov’t subsidies of any business or organization) ..the second and far more important is the fact that with the exception of certian segments of the population… NOBODY.. is happy with thier choice…again…. The Republicans have no reason to be excited about Mitt Romney… and the Tea Party even less so… and the Left wing of the Democrats are clearly unhappy with Pres. Obama…. So while the call to anarchy is foolishness of the highest caliber… bieng frustrated to the point of perfering nobady over the choices we have is certianly understandable.

• In Honor of Andy Griffith: The Top Ten Video Moments From ‘Mayberry’

  July 3, 2012 at 5:38pm

  In reply to RobertCleveland.

  @ Robert,

  Thank you for your rational response to this issue.
  I would like to say Im astonished at the way people are behaving and the comments they are leaving..but sadly the internet teaches us to quickly become jaded to any idea of decency on any public forum.

  Yes, its fine to disagree with his politics (I know I did) but the man was a talented actor who was an American Icon, and who never harmed anyone. he should be remembered for his work, and mourned for the life that was lost…

  Im glad at least someone here is able to see that.

  Have a good day and Happy 4th of July

• Sheriff Arpaio’s Office Reportedly Arrests 6-Year-Old Suspected of Illegal Immigration

  June 18, 2012 at 12:24am

  In reply to Quasimofo.

  For anyone thinking he went too far…I have two points to make….

  1) On a more humanitarian level (which liberals love to invoke as a means of “letting her stay” a 6 year old girl with no known family moving into the mid west can have only one realistic destination…Sex Slavery. The fact that she may actually be returned to her country of origin and possibly reunited with some family member is the best thing that could have happened to her.

  2) In spite of any humanitarian arguments… she along with all the other immigrants were violating the laws of this nation…and though some may say Im over reaching here…there presence is n fact a breach of our national Sovereignty.

  I say Good for him…

  I hope he gets another thousand 6 year olds (for both those reasons)

• Farrakhan Unleashed: Obama Will Be Assassinated by ‘Hardcore Racists, Tea Party Zealots’ in His Second Term (PLUS: They Have Already Found the Muslim to Do It!)

  April 30, 2012 at 7:27pm

  WOW… who ever it was that said they hope Pres. Obama gets assisnated.. I really pity you. I am far from a fan of his policies.. but I would never wish that one him. First… he is our President.. and Im sure you would go crazy if someone said that aboiut George W. Bush (and I knew people that did)

  Secondly.. putting aside the fact that we should never wish that upon anyone…. The resulting social upheaval that would occur should make everyone no matter what your ideology (save maybe the anarchists) desperately wish that not happen…

  but.. as to the original point of my posting.. What I find funny about Farrakhans argument is apparently how little he knows about history…

• ‘Contempt of Court Because You Showed Your Butt in Court’: Ala. Judge Explains Sagging Pants Policy

  April 12, 2012 at 11:21pm

  While I agree with the judge’s ruling that the person was in contempt of court.. I disagree with the idea of a law being passed. (and while its really not surprising the bill was put forth by a democrat, I would not be shocked if a similar bill is put forward by a republican)… My problem is that…the gov’t (municipal, state or federal, has no business passing a law that punishes……well.idiocy….

  As I get older(and more informed) I realize that one of the biggest problems with our country is the almost overwhelming level of laws and regulations we are confronted with. (And I am by no means an Anarchist) rather I think that personal liberty must be paramount. If people want to look like fools and wear the pants below their knees…what business is it of the government . Not only will this legislation NOT change the culture (that is up to the individual and the family to instill proper values__) but in my opinion its only “true” purpose is to act as a thinly veiled revenue stream…

  Saggy pants are not an affront to any existing standard of decency…. they aren’t harmful to others, and they certainly are not warrant the attention of our legislators.. all they do is make those that wear them look like the fools that they are…

  Hopefully this bill will fail on the statehouse floor… and we can put our attention to more important matters.
