Sam, crowned the ‘World’s Ugliest Dog’ for three years in a row at the Sonoma-Marin Fair, died Friday, Nov. 18, 2005, just short of his 15th birthday, according to his owner, Susie Lockheed. Now I’m a dog lover but this is a tad -uh- scary!
Thanks Rob
Dave Ramsey is the self-proclaimed King of Debt… well anti-debt, actually. His methods are a bit extreme for the financially savy, but they are sound advice for the average American. If nothing else, he offers a great place to start your journey to wealth/retirement.
An interesting essay from our stand-in editor Jeff…
I?ve been hearing a lot from both sides that America is heading towards a theocracy. More specifically, a government fully devoted to Christian ideals. Those opposed speak of a theocracy as one of the greatest assaults on freedom ever invented: references to the Taliban are common. On the other hand, those in favor claim it is necessary to revive our nation. I?ve been thinking about this a lot recently, and I?ve come to the conclusion that I am leaning towards the former. I don?t want a theocracy, or, more accurately, I don?t think that a theocracy is the answer.

We have another excellent FWD. This one really makes you reflect on what’s important. And let’s be honest — it’s the picture that does it. Anyone can weave a sappy tale about things you love and carnage and such… it takes a multimedia presentation to reach my jaded heart.
A friend who I used to live with in San Diego just sent me this photo of a horrible highway accident near Heidelberg, Germany where he lives. The picture may be kind of hard to take for some of you. If you look closely you can see what appears to be some survivors of the accident still in the wreckage. Although the picture is quite graphic, it makes you realize how quickly our loved ones can be taken from us.My friend stayed on the scene to help and even though he performed mouth to mouth on quite a few of them, none apparently survived. Please open with discretion … and think of the ones you love.
Thanks Sarah
I came across this site today. It’s put together by “the Kurdistan Development Corporation (KDC) is an initiative established jointly by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and international business to promote, facilitate and establish business and investment opportunities in the Kurdistan region in Iraq.”Ah capitalism, pushing that marketing onward… but it’s an interesting twist coming out of the “war torn” Iraq. Thanks and investment opportunities all in one. Nice.
