Howard Dean: The Mosque Conversation

Howard Dean, the former Governor of Vermont has jumped in the fray regarding building the mosque in remembrance of those that died on September 11, 2001.  In an interview with the Huffington Post, the former DNC Chairman backed up his words:

The former Governor of Vermont told the Huffington Post that he "stood by" the remarks he had made earlier in the day on WABC radio in which he called the mosque plan "a real affront to people who lost their lives [on 9/11]." But in a clarification of sorts, he stressed that he would not have a problem if the proposed Islamic cultural center ultimately ended up being built in the current location.

9/11 Trial Moved from New York City

The Mayor of New York City, Mike Bloomberg, and others told the White House, "y'all are going to have to find somewhere else to hold the 9/11 trial."

I wonder if any state will be bidding for THIS trial to be held in their state?

One more day!

Well, it's been 5 days since I last posted and there has been some noise from various "camps" in Worcester about the primary taking place tomorrow, Tuesday, September 11, 2007.

For one thing, it's hard for me to believe that it's been 6-years since the terrorist attack on the US, because it seems as if it was just yesterday that I was in Wellesley, MA, when I heard the news and received the telephone call from my wife that 7 of her colleagues were on American Airlines flight 11, bound for Los Angeles, CA.

Our prayers and thoughts continue to go out to the families of those that were on the airplanes, in the towers and those men and women that entered the towers, responding to the scene to save those that were alive after the first plane crashed into the North Tower.

In local news, the primary elections are taking place tomorrow, and we strongly encourage all persons registered to vote, to do just that...get out and VOTE! Let your voice be heard and, if you're not registered to vote, you still have time to do so and more information can be found at the Secretary of the State website.

Thoughts about the primary elections will be posted tomorrow throughout the day, so check back often.
