Jeremy Hernandez leaves the Interstate 35W bridge after he helped rescue youngsters from a school bus after the bridge collapsed last Wednesday.
Gary Babineau, 24, of Blaine, Minn., who was on the Interstate 35W bridge, rear, that collapsed over the Mississippi River and helped schoolchildren from their bus to safety.
Two guys that stepped up when they were needed.
Guess which one President Bush decided to make the photo op with?
“Bring on the surburbian white boy!”
Oh well, Hernandez got some good news today. Strib:
Hernandez said that he was working as a youth worker at Waite House after he’d been forced to drop out of Dunwoody for lack of money. The school’s tuition and fees typically run $15,000 annually.
If [he] wants to resume learning auto mechanics at Dunwoody College of Technology, he can do so without charge.
The Minneapolis school made that offer to Hernandez’s family Saturday.
Nice to know that Hernandez is getting some recognition for his heroism.
The Pentagon has confirmed that a plan was floated to create a “gay bomb” that would blind enemy troops with lust and make them want to have sex with each other then and there on the battlefield.
I suppose the idea was that the opposing army would be so busy and distracted humping each other that we would be able to march right in and take over.
My question: Is the will for sex stronger than the will to survive?
Think about it from a different point of view. You are in a bunker with one other soldier who just happens to be of the opposite sex and who also happens to be super hot. You’ve been lusting after this individual for a while. Additionally, you are surrounded by an enemy who will be launching a full scale attack at any moment. Any manner of destruction awaits you.
Are you really going to be in a mind set to get it on with your fellow soldier!? With certain death imminent?
Hummmm…thinking about it now…maybe going out ‘with a bang’ might not be such a bad idea.
The one with the sign that said “War veteran, please help”?
or
The one with the sign that said “Need money to get drunk”?
Working at home does not put me into contact with street folk very often so I don’t really have much of an opinion on pan handlers.
What about you? Should pan handling be banned or are these guys just practicing free speech?
Where do you draw the line between keep the street corners clear from crowds of people standing around begging for money and coming down on people who expect to be able to take advantage of the benefits of living in a ‘free country’?
DHS officials concede that the plot “was not technically feasible.”
I am happy that these clowns were arrested. But I don’t think it means that we need to run all around town screaming in panic about this latest terror plot any more than we should be worried about Dr. Evil’s plan to install a “laser” on the moon and hold the world hostage for a ransom of one million dollars.
