Yes Virginia

"This makes me cry every year when I read it in our local newspaper."-Debbyski of Clipmarks

clipped from www.newseum.org DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old. "Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. "Papa says, 'If you see it in THE SUN it's so.' "Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus? VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

2 Weeks Into Its Mandate and Bushies Wanted to Spy On Us

clipped from rawstory.com AT&T engineer says Bush Administration sought to implement domestic spying within two weeks of taking office Nearly 1,300 words into Sunday's New York Times article revealing new details of the National Security Agency's domestic eavesdropping program, the lawyer for an AT&T engineer alleges that "within two weeks of taking office, the Bush administration was planning a comprehensive effort of spying on Americans’ phone usage.” In a New Jersey federal court case, the engineer claims that AT&T sought to create a phone center that would give the NSA access to "all the global phone and e-mail traffic that ran through" a New Jersey network hub. “At some point,” he told the paper, “I started feeling something isn’t right.” "There was no discussion of limiting the monitoring to international communications, he said."

"I sincerely hope that Harry Reid changes his mind about supporting the communications bill that gives the communications companies retroactive immunity. It seems now there is evidence that the Bushies started working on plans to spy on our phone calls after only two weeks in office. Please, call your senators and ask them to vote against this bill."-Zasel of Clipmarks

Hidden dolphins

clipped from amazingillusions.blogspot.com Hidden Dolphins You saw a couple in an intimate pose, right? Interestingly, research has shown that young children cannot identify the intimate couple because they do not have prior memory associated with such a scenario. What they WILL see, however, is the nine dolphins in the picture! So, I guess we've already proven you're not a young innocent child... now... If it's hard for you to find the dolphins within 6 seconds, your mind is indeed corrupt and you probably need help, you sicko!

We've had a lot of fun with this one on Clip Marks. For those who want an answer, here's where all those pesky dolphins are.

Santa Baby

I read about this in my local paper. Apparently this year, the teens in my neck of the woods are hoping for some big time presents from Santa.
Ipods, laptops, cellphones and that first car ( insurance courtesy of parents) are topping the lists for most 16 year olds. The car is definatley on the top of the list , even though some of these kids haven't got their learner's permits yet. Nor do most have a part time job.
I wonder if our teens are just too used to Mom and Dad giving them what ever they want? I've seen 10 year olds with cellphones . Is it really necessary for a ten year old to be carrying around a cell phone?
Am I experiencing a generation gap? I mean I'm only 30 but at that age if I wanted something that cost over thirty bucks I was on my own. "Save up for it , or get a job kiddo."

I wonder what Santa thinks about this?
