Nobody ever burned fireworks in their back yard when Bush was president.

LOL - You're so called "Republican" party is now a laughing stock, with Palin, Limbaugh and Glen Beck at the helm. You are sentenced to irrelevancy and permanent minority status for 100 years. And if by ome horrifying stroke of misfortune (for America), Palin is elected President in 2012 then you will get everything you deserve and more.

The man is 79 years old. Perhaps you should view this article as a reminder to check on elderly family members and neighbors. You may find yourself in a similar situation some day.

Uh, but those of us who didn't vote for Palin, what did we do to deserve it?

The correct way to dispose of fireworks is to soak them in a bucket of water.

No kidding. My dad is in a rest home because we could not watch him close enough to prevent stuff like this - thankfully he never did any harm to himself or others. Somebody ought to ask him who the President is before they consider charges - yeesh. Be glad he's still alive.

LOL..and I am laughing at you for not knowing the basics. It is "your" not "you're"...perhaps you should get Grammar perfected before you start talking politics.

I can't believe they are considering charges against him. He was obviously trying to dispose of potentially hazardous materal. Given the guy is 79 he probalby had a momentary lapse in judgement. Let's hope the prosecutor finds bigger fish to fry.

Daily Horoscope for November 29

Scorpio

You need to take time out to spend with your partner today as he/she probably has something they need to share with you. If you don't take the time now, while empathetic Neptune is stimulated by the caring Moon, you'll find that tomorrow won't go very smoothly. Take this opportunity to work things out, even if it's the last thing you want to do today. A little sacrifice is called for.
