Hodge Podge Day, Again.

It flies!! The incredible flying Manta Ray! Hey, if you're the adrenalin junkie type or purely a stupid one, try and have fun with this boat.

And watch the accident rate soar should this next craze catch on after water jet skis.

Do you remember Benson Tong at Gallaudet University and the plagiarism issue where he was forced(?) to leave his position as a teacher? Recently, I received an anonymous tip saying that he is teaching again....English Literature at the Galen Nursing School in St. Petersburg, Florida. If this is true then my question would be did they know about his past plagiarism charges? Will they be in the same boat as Gallaudet University when they found out, embarassingly so, after the fact when they hired him and had to let him go? Too bad the Buff n Blue college newspaper at Gallaudet University's didn't want to cover this flap.

Remember "Haditha"? And how the driveby media and many bloggers who simply rush-to-judgment along with the guilty-until-proven-innocent concept (you know who you are) is becoming a bad habit? All in the context just to get a certain internationally known person they don't like regardless if it means endangering their own national security and the lives of our American citizens. Does all that hyperventilating remind you of a certain protest on the campus of Gallaudet University?

More Iraqi documents found among the thousands captured yet translated documents regarding WMDs in Iraq by the then dictator Saddam Hussein. Three recently translated documents seem to shed some light over Iraq’s effort to develop chemical weapons as late as 2003.

Read more loose but crumbling "living bridge" person's rah rah speech about the original DPN Gallaudet protest to try and apply the same fervor and passion to the RDPN protest. You can also read the congratulatory comments about him on Elisa Abenchuchan's blogsite.
"One such hearing person is Brian Riley from California, who is proving to be an invaluable asset to this protest."
Interesting but even more so is that he's banned from GallyNet-L forum for his antics and bashing, and email harvesting. But I tell you this. Ask yourself about the original DPN protest, who originally started the protest? And who should've gotten the due credit and recognition for it throughout the whole DPN process from beginning to end? Time for you to dig internally on the ugly politics of it. And it's not about the administration, either. And, no. I ain't gonna tell you!! And don't even ask me to do it, either!

The Sandman is cleaning out his kitty litter box more often these days. Go read his personal reflections on NAD version I, II and III. But I still say get rid of the "Deafhood" terminology. Also, the concept behind it isn't anything new, IMEO (in my experienced opinion). It is just a repackaged idea in the name of "unity". And the hope to increase more membership at NAD, too. Might want to tell David Eberwein or Genie Gertz that they should attend the upcoming and very large Cued Speech convention later on this month. A challenge I'm daring them on that. All in the name of "Deafhood." They have until tomorrow to answer that challenge. No. It's not a threat. Registration ends on Monday to sign up for the convention. Bring Riley along as an interpreter, too.
