There's so much news and so little time to discuss it all. Here's a quick recap of this weekend's highlights.After battling cancer, Jack Kemp, 73, passed away this weekend. He will be remembered for his athletic and political careers. Kemp played quarterback in the old AFL and brought the Buffalo Bills to two championships. His life in politics included 18 years in Congress and a Vice Presidential nomination.
In sports, boxing fans saw a short, but awesome fight between Manny Pacquiao and junior welterweight champion Ricky Hatton on Saturday night. Pacquiao dropped Patton twice in the first round and then knocked him out during round 2. Pacquiao made history as the only fighter to win six world titles in that many divisions.
The swine flu is still on everybody's mind. Mexico, who saw the most deaths due to the illness, reports the epidemic is subsiding and OKd public places in the capital to reopen this weekend. Meanwhile, officials at the WHO consider raising their pandemic alert to the highest level.

I personally am glad he's dead and wish the rest of those who acvocated amnesty for illegals would die along with him. If anyone knows where his grave will be let me know I want to pay it a visit after drinking a gallon of water. I hate these bleeding hearts. Now they're trying to give these illegals social security when they put not a dime into it.

Jack Kemp was a great American who served his country very well. He was first and foremost a real gentleman. His lifestyle indicated his values. Those horribly mean spirited democrats who say such foul things about Mr. Kemp are what they always will be - just childish name callers of no substance. God Bless you Jack, may you rest in peace.

I think we really know by now that diets and pills on their own do not work and a change of lifestyle is the only way.
Great articles and lovely site.
