Chief Justice Roberts

At 3:01PM EDT John Roberts was sworn in as the new Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. For those of you who were watching the ceremony, you would have noticed that Roberts had his hand on the Bible and as part of the oath uttered the words “so help me God”.

Mister Chief Justice, take note that there will be an up-coming case about the Pledge of Allegiance, which has been changed twice, once to include the words “under God”. So how can a person who had his hand on the Bible and in effect asked for God’s help remove these words or ban the Pledge from schools.

Does this make me a conservative? No because I also believe in Pro-Choice. I do not side with any group, but choose what I believe is best, not left, right, liberal, conservative, Republican, Democrat or Independent!

Two for the Price of One

With Katrina, the passing of Supreme Court Justice Rehnquist, Oil Prices, FEMA problems and now Tom Delay being indicted; the appointment of Judge Roberts to the Supreme Court and serving as Chief Justice is a certainty. Teflon Roberts is getting so little attention with all the other issues that he’s a shoe in.

But I would not want to be the next person nominated to replace the remaining open seat on the court. By then most of the other issues will still be there but to a lesser extent. Now that means the bull’s eye will be pasted on judge number two, whoever that is and he or she is definitely not going to have a free pass this time around.

Daylight Savings Time

The upcoming change in Daylight Saving Time recently enacted by Congress will save an estimated 100,000 barrels of oil each day, from the total of about 20 million barrels daily. Where the cost factor kicks in is that any gadget, appliance, auto, computer, alarm clock or anything else that has a clock which automatically adjusts each Spring and Fall for Daylight Savings will now be out of sync and require manual adjustment. The manufactures of these items will need to make the necessary changes for their new product lines before 2007 when the change is due to take effect.

There is good news for some of us who have dumb clocks; it will be just like it’s always been, Fall Back and Spring Forward.

Milk down, OJ unchanged, Gas up, Michael Brown DOWN

Milk was about 8 cents less yesterday, Orange Juice remained unchanged, Gas was up and down and up, now at $3.19. That means gas is giving OJ a run for the top spot on the price list. Michael Brown (FEMA) was demoted and is most likely on his way out, no tears shed here.

Cell Phone Relief Fund – Day 2

Haven’t received any response from my cell phone provider as of yet.

Today I decided to call my regular phone company who also is a cell phone service provider. Their response was that they do not have rollover minutes and at this time no definite plans have been made in the way of relief.

If you are reading this blog please call your cell phone provider and put the pressure on to help by donating minutes from your account or by some other means making extra minutes available to the people who need them.

Cell Phone Relief Fund

Help the victims of hurricane Katrina buy contacting your cell phone company and asking them to setup a relief fund.

This fund would consisting of excess minutes that have accumulated over the months (rolled over) which you would donate from your account into a general fund. These minutes could then be used for those individuals affected by hurricane Katrina who may not have sufficient minutes remaining in their Cell Phone accounts to make all the calls necessary to reach family members on a regular basis or take care of other needs. As you know once a user exceeds the minutes in their account, the cost of placing calls can go up dramatically.

I currently have more than 1500 excess minutes which would be enough to provide 15 needy people with 100 free minutes of phone time. After all at the end the year you and I loss these rollover minutes and they are lost and wasted so why not put them to good use!

Better yet check your cell phone company’s web site and see if they have a disaster relief page, contact the appropriate individual and spread the word!!!
