Christmas Video from AB
Hello everyone...and I hope you all had a great Christmas.
I posted up a little video, since the Adventure Books staff were silly enough to turn me loose with a webcam for Christmas. You may need a high-speed internet connection to view the video.

Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?

Many will recall that on July 8, 1947, witnesses claim an unidentified object with five aliens aboard crashed on a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico.

This is a well known incident that many say has long been covered up by the US Air Force and the federal government.
However, you may well NOT know that in the month of March 1948, exactly nine months after that historic day,
Albert Arnold Gore, Jr.; Hillary Rodham; John F. Kerry; William Jefferson Clinton; Howard Dean; Nancy Pelosi; Dianne Feinstein; Charles E. Schumer; and Barbara Boxer were born.

That piece of information has now cleared up a lot of things.

Robert I am sorry to report that a note came up "This Page Can Not Be Displayed." Antyhing else I can do to see your video?

Braling II, fascinating facts. In fact I have a film on the Roswell incident that I was planning to watch today since I am fortunate of having the day off.

Actually, my "facts" are just a bit of political levity that was making the cyber-rounds; none of these folks (except Al) was born around that time.

Braling II, the aliens have become more clever since 1947. They know we're on to them and have perfected the art of invisibility. Hence, no astronomer has ever seen one (that they ADMIT!) but it doesn't mean they're not out there.

Either that, or they've since read "The Concrete Mixer" and are keeping their distance!

Wow! I hadn't realised that we got many of our best politicians from Mars!

Go Marsmen!

Wonderful quote! I had recently used it as my signature line on my work email for a time.

You've got to be fairly careful with political stuff at my work, tho - I'm in the military!

Barbara Boxer ROCKS!!!
Other than being a member of the same party as Hillary as well as being from the same state as Feinstein she deserves better than being linked with those two corrupt and self-serving opportunists. Pelosi, I don't know as much about, other than she's filthy, stinking rich and comes from a long line of politicos with all the connections and strings which go along with that... OH!!! And she was in favor of war, so there's something wrong with her too.

OR...
That is why the man who holds up trains picks his company with a thousand
times the care with which a careful girl chooses a sweetheart. That is
why he raises himself from his blanket of nights and listens to the tread
of every horse's hoofs on the distant road. That is why he broods
suspiciously for days upon a jesting remark or an unusual movement of a
tried comrade, or the broken mutterings of his closest friend, sleeping by
his side.

...And it is one of the reasons why the train-robbing profession is not so
pleasant a one as either of its collateral branches -- POLITICS or
cornering the market.
~ O'Henry
