Obama Used Faulty Anecdote in Speech to Congress - Political News - FOXNews.com

Some of you will discount this issue simply because it is was brought up by Fox News, but is it an issue at all that the president of the United States used a faulty anecdote in his speech the other night about Health Care? With all of the resources available to him you would think that he could have a speech written that would not contain such mistakes. Could the gaffe have been intentional? Did he have them leave it in hoping he wouldn't get busted on it? Or could he have left it on hoping to get busted on it so that he could then point out how much the "wingers" and the "teabaggers" just don't get it? It "almost" happened the way he said it. As a matter of fact if it had not been for government intervention it would have gone down that way. What do you think?

Headed to Hawaii

As you can tell if you have stumbled across my little portion of the blogosphere I don't keep up with my blog very often. Life is very hectic for me right now and this seems to be a terribly selfish waste of time when I have so many other things I could and should be doing. My wife and I are very active in our church right now. We also both work full time jobs that cause us to work extra hours most weeks. In addition to that we are in the startup phase of launching a new church in Lawrenceville, GA. That is the topic for a different day or blog, but since we are so busy we have been looking for some ways to get to spend some "me" time with one another recently, and the Lord has provided the perfect solution. Due to some extra labor I performed on the side and the generosity of a dear friend who loves us greatly we are headed to Kauai, Hawaii in 9 days and a wake up. We are so excited about going. Without something like this happening the odds would have been that we would never have gotten to go, so we really are pumped about the chance. By the way, does anyone know anything about a cheap, used car rental place on the island called Island Cars? Honestly I find it difficult to think about spending $500.00 on a rental car for a week when there are so many other things I would rather spend my money on. I plan to post some pics and blog about the experience when we return, so stay tuned. Ron, out.

The aforementioned buried car in Rodanthe. I don't know if they ever got it out.

Rodanthe House

This house was in Rodanthe in October when I was there for vacation. It is the house that was used for the outside shots in the movie Nights of Rodanthe with Richard Gere and some other female actor whom I cannot remember right now. This was just after a weekend of storms that caused the ocean to breach the dunes and cover the road with sand. They had to use earth movers to clear the road. I saw one house where the swimming pool was completely buried and another where they did not get the car out in time and the car was buried up to the lower portion of the windows. You can dig out of snow but I'm not sure you can dig out of sand, at least not easily. Anyway I really like vacationing in that part of the state and am looking forward to going back. I may not make it this year though as we have decided to try Hawaii. A free time share and buddy passes for the flight helped to make that decision. We have never been and are looking forward to going. The island we will be staying on is Kauai. Anybody been there done that?
