German-born orchestra leader Bert Kaempfert took his own composition, "Wonderland By Night", to the #1 position on the pop charts in November of 1960. Bert later composed such music as "Strangers In The Night", "Danke Schoen", "Spanish Eyes", and Nat King Cole's "L-O-V-E". He was also responsible for hiring the Beatles to back up Tony Sheridan's "My Bonnie" album which marked the first commercially released Beatles performance.

Here is "Wonderland By Night" performed by the Bert Kaempfert Orchestra .....

Full Body Scanners At Airports - A Brilliant Solution Now Offered!

I can't take credit for this idea as it was emailed to me by a friend, but here's a solution to all the controversy over full body scanners at the airports:

All we need to do is develop a booth that you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have hidden on or in your body. The explosion will be contained within the sealed booth.

This would be a win-win for everyone. There would be none of this bull about racial profiling and the device would eliminate long and expensive trials.

This is so simple that it's brilliant. I can see it now: You're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the PA system, "Attention, standby passengers! We now have a seat available on flight number..."

A. E. Newman Behind This Morning's Robo-Calls To Gasconade County Residents

Several people from Owensville and the surrounding area have called our office this morning to report a "robo-call" from A. E. Newman, candidate for Southern District Associate Commissioner.  The people telephoning our office have consistently reported a "citizen call to action" by Mr. Newman.  The jest of the call is that Newman wants Gasconade County residents to show up in large numbers for this week's county commission meeting at the Owensville City Hall.  Newman calls for citizens to protest Presiding Commissioner Jost's intent to pay the legal bills out of public funds for the two respondents in the so-called "salary over-payment lawsuit" originally filed by plaintiffs Matt Penning and Sandra Lackman on behalf of Gasconade County citizens.

Newman exhorted call recipients ... "Let's fill the meeting room at the Owensville City Hall this Thursday!  Let's tell Presiding Commissioner Jost just what we think about his intent to use $52,000 of county funds to pay these legal bills!"

If you yourself have received one of these "robo-calls", we'd like to know about it.  Please leave us a brief comment.

Referring to the full-body scans which have been made part of TSA security procedures in our nation's airports .....

"There was supposed to be a protest, but nobody opted out of the full-body scans, maybe because of the signs TSA posted: 'If you are embarrassed by your penis size, you may opt out of being scanned.'" –Jimmy Kimmel (11/26/2010)

County singer and songwriter Willie Nelson was busted for marijuana possession on Friday, 11/26 in Texas.  Willie admitted that the 6 ounces (170 grams) found on his tour bus belonged to him. This was Willie's third drug bust.  After his arrest and booking at the local jail, Willie paid $2500 bail and was "on the road again".

The following  is a video clip of an interview he gave on June 6, 1991.  In this interview, Willie talks about "hemp and the family farm".

Bible Verse Of The Day - Tuesday, 11/30/2010

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. – 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

This is a powerful passage. The God of the Bible is one of compassion. He comforts us when we go through trials. But it doesn’t stop there. Our troubles give us a vocabulary to help others who are going through the same thing! We may think that our circumstances make us unable to minister, but the Scripture tells us that the very weight around our neck can become the launching pad for ministry to others. Where others see failure and struggle, God sees the qualifications to be used mightily. No wonder the apostle Paul went into praise!
