Ivan and Trump

The Southeast is certainly in for frightening ordeals. After two major hurricans pummeled Florida, Ivan has come crashing into Alabama, affecting most of the Southeast. Tornadoes are on a rampage all over, and major rainfall is expected to continue. I can only sympathise with the people whose lives are interrupted and endangered by Mother Nature's forceful wrath.

Speaking of big powers, Donald Trump showed a more than usual force tonight on the Apprentice. I think he is just trying to get more drama in the mix by nixing the unlikely candidate. In addition to his wanna-coin-phrase, "You're fired" (which is more like "yer fired") he also has uttered "shut up" and "you're stupid." I can't imagine ever being on something like the Apprentice, televised or not. All those alpha male/female people crowded under one roof. That's WMD right there. But it does remind me to be a tougher individual and be constantly on the lookout for information and opportunities to re-invent myself.
