Bobtail is correct! “Bells on Bobtail ring, making spirits bright” Bobtail is the horse’s name, the bells were not on the tail folks, the bells were on their necks. Don if you send me an email with your address I will send you a holiday CD as your prize!!

“bob tails” But really, bobtail n. A short or shortened tail. An animal, such as a horse, having a short or shortened tail, this was needed because the tail would swish into the faces of the driver. It would happen when the driver was seated lower than the horses back. When the driver was placed higher, the tail didn’t matter.( as on the stage coach )

Too bad we’re running dangerously low on uranium. We will hit peak uranium before we hit peak oil.

Why do you hate America, David? (g)

It’s true that nukes don’t emit ozone, particulate pollution (the type that caused today’s air alert) or greenhouse gases. That said, I doubt if much will come of this this session.

Truth is, we are going have to find some answers, and soon.

To C.P.’s credit the last I checked they deleted all of the overtly racist comments.

@Art – I’ve always felt the moderation line begins with threats, intimidation, racism, etc.
@ashley – The Youtube comments were actually pretty tame, most everyone said they were going to inform the police.
@Erica – Agreed

As a reputable news source, they shouldn’t have fostered a hateful environment with that headline, especially since the fact that the kids are not white is automatically going to lead in to some racist shit.

Several broadcast news stations showed the video also last night on prime time news, but i agree with organizations being responsible for moderating comments.

I rarely read comments on things like YouTube… like someone wise once said, “Before the internet, the village idiot stayed in his village.”
