Just Between Friends (JBF) Sale this Weekend

If you missed the Just Between Friends Northland sale earlier this spring, you have one more chance this weekend to attend a great JBF sale.  This sale is located at the Kansas Speedway.  You can find everything you need for baby and children here for a fraction of the cost of retail.

Event Hours:
Friday, March 25th from 9am to 8pm
Saturday, March 26th from 9am to 5pm
Sunday, March 27th from 9am to 5pm  **Sunday is half price day**

Due to construction, the only entrance to the Speedway that is open is the southwest entrance off of 110th Street.  This entrance is accessible via I-70.   Still, if you have little ones or a little one on the way, it is well worth the trip.

Go here for more information on this sale.

When Murder isn’t Really Murder

Johnson County Courthouse in Olathe, Kansas

Johnson County, Kansas prosecutors seem to think that if you plot, plan and murder someone and then lead a crime-free life for 20 years before being caught that you shouldn't have to serve the time.

Mr. Mangelsdorf and Mrs. Harmon were having an affair  They planned and succeeded in murdering Mr. Harmon.  The two then went their separate ways, married, and had children before the murder was then solved some 20 years later.

Evidently, then prosecutor Paul Morrison made a deal with Mr. Mangelsdorf that he would support an early release for him after serving five years if he didn't get into trouble in prison.

Five years have now passed, Mr. Mangelsdorf has managed to stay out of trouble, so the prosecuting attorney's office is now lobbying for Mr. Mangelsdorf's release.  Mr. Mangelsdorf's family and attorney are lobbying for his release as well.

"For 20 years my client worked, married and had children and was an absolute model citizen and still is a model citizen in prison," Kreamer told the parole board. "There can't be any doubt that when he gets out he will be a model citizen."

"Model citizens" don't bludgeon their lover's husband to death with a crowbar.  You could argue that model citizens don't have affairs to begin with.

UK: Abortion Safer than Having a Baby

Soviet poster circa 1925. Title translation: &...

Image via Wikipedia

I find this appalling and amazing.  Women are being advised by doctors that having an abortion is safer than having a baby.

In the US you may take the abortion pill, or you may have an abortion at a clinic.  If the abortion pill is chosen, you will first be given a pill that blocks progesterone and causes the lining of the uterus to break down.  Then, you will be given a second drug that will cause you to bleed and cramp and expel the fetus.  You may experience such side effects as dizziness, heavy bleeding, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, and/or chills.¹

The most common type of abortion done at a clinic is an aspiration abortion.  In this procedure, a tube is inserted into the uterus and the baby is suctioned out.  Side effects you might experience are blood clots in the uterus, incomplete abortion, infection, injury to the cervix, and more.²

No matter what procedure is used, a successful abortion will result in a dead baby.

Somehow we are supposed to believe that introducing foreign chemicals and objects into a woman's body is safer than letting the body do what it was meant to do the way God created it.  It's certainly not safer for the child.  Common sense says it's not safer for the mother either.

When making a decision, we all weigh the pros and cons.  I think this is just an attempt to give the abortionists another "pro" to add to their list.

Sheen Miffs Witches

I haven't really been following all the hoopla with Charlie Sheen, and I certainly didn't think I'd comment on it.  However, this one caught my eye:

In a week in which the embattled actor described himself as having "tiger blood" and other apparently super-human attributes normally reserved in the pages of comic books, the star described himself as a "Vatican assassin warlock" during a radio interview. 

The description evidently did not sit well with the witch community in Salem, Mass.

Christian Day, a practicing warlock -- or male witch -- and member of Salem's Coven of the Raven Moon, said he was "angered" over the statement because it's a "blatant offense against our ways and teachings."

Day held a ritual Sunday with other members of the witch community to send positive spirits in Sheen's direction.

Day said Sheen was "reckless" by singling out the group and should apologize.

"If he made that comment against the Christians or Jewish people, there would be outrage," he told FoxNews.com.

I don't know where Mr. Day gets his news, but comments against Christians and Jews these days are welcomed and celebrated.  Making comments against Muslims, however, will produce outrage.

Florida Motorists Illegally Detained at Toll Booth

Folks, we've all got to do like Joel Chandler and stand up for our rights.  Our government has made it clear that they will walk all over us and our rights if we let them.

Thank you, Joel, for sticking to it and seeing this through.

Stand up!  Say no!
