I love Andy Rooney

Maybe he reminds me of Scott (Dilbert) Adams, or Mark Twain, or Will Rogers, or .... you get the idea; he's a humorist. I missed his piece on 60 Minutes last night but saw it online this morning. He was VERY serious for a change. I thought this video clip would give me ammo for attempting my first link to something "moving." Check it out ... if the link works?

Well, CRAP! It's there but there is not a smooth transition. I was trying to link to Andy's piece on "The War in Iraq." I have some learning to do.

I've written to my representatives today. They all are Republicans. I don't especially want them to continue being my representative, but used their ambition to remain in office as leverage to inspire their assistance in an issue that is really bothering me. The situation in Darfur is an international disgrace. How can anyone who professes to champion human rights continue to ignore the suffering? Following is an excerpt from a letter to all three of my representatives. If you feel the same, perhaps you will take a few minutes to request the help of your representatives.

Dear Congressman Conaway,
The situation in Darfur is an international disgrace. The Republican Party needs a shot in the arm. I propose that an effort to champion a humanitarian effort in support of these poor people could not hurt Republican efforts to maintain control. Please do whatever is necessary to relieve the suffering in Darfur. Any effort there could only help improve our reputation in this world of strife ... and corruption.

Respectfully,
Warren Price, Master Sergeant, US Army (Retired)
