    Let Me Be The One
    Sa-Fire
     
    Let me be the one baby

    Let me be the one (4x)

    You don't believe that my love is true
    And you said that you were going to
    Going to be by my side baby
    So why don't you come and stay with me
    Love me baby and touch me all over
    You gotta give me the loving I need
    Open your heart, your mind, your soul
    Let me be the light, the sun of your dreams

    Chorus:
    Let me be the one baby, stay with you tonight
    Giving you all my lovin', oh it can be so
    Let me be the one baby, you give your love too
    Let me be the one, oh it can be so right
    Let me be the one (4x)

    You let me when
    You opened my heart and inspired my needs
    Stop, take what you want from me
    So why don't you come and stay with me
    Love me baby and touch me all over
    You gotta give me the loving I need
    Open your heart, your mind, your soul
    Let me be the light, the sun of your dreams

    Museum Visitor Attacks $300G Painting in Milwaukee

    Thursday , April 05, 2007

    Associate Press

    MILWAUKEE — 

    A man who claimed he found the subject disturbing put his foot through a 17th-century painting valued at $300,000 at the Milwaukee Art Museum.

    David Gordon, museum CEO and director, said the 1640 work, "The Triumph of David" by Ottavio Vannini, was hanging in the museum's Early European Gallery when the incident happened Wednesday.

    The oil painting depicts the end of the biblical tale of David and Goliath, with David carrying the severed head of the giant Goliath, Gordon said.

    "[The man] was kicking it, aiming his blows at the head of Goliath, and then he pulled it off the wall and started kicking it," Gordon said.

    "It happened very quickly. We have guards constantly on patrol in the museum, and he obviously waited until the guard had passed through that gallery," he said.

    A museum employee and security guard tried to restrain the man, and eventually he stopped, took off his shirt and lay on the gallery's floor, Gordon said.

    The 22-year-old Pewaukee man told police he was disturbed by the image of Goliath's severed head.

    American Idol

     
    It's American Idol night!  Will Sanjaya make it through another week?  Remember, you heard it here first, last week I said he's got something going on.  He's marketable!  Time will tell.  Me, I'm ready for Haley to go.  She has the least amount of talent as far as the women go and the only reason she's still there (barely) is because she wears short shorts.  How is that any different than keeping Sanjaya who is not vocally strong?

    Scam of the day

     
    Rebates!
     
    Why don't retailers just give you the lowest price at the check out?  Why must we save our mile long reciept, fill out the required information and mail it in along with a UPC?  Just give us the lowest price.  You're not fooling me, nope, I'm on to you!  The whole plan is to entice the buyer with a sale price with "after $XX.XX mail in rebate".  We the buyer don't think anything of it at the time, we just fork over the extra $$ knowing that we'll get it back about six months later.  Then we go home open our packages and go about our daily routine and most likely forgetting all about the mail in rebate.  That's what THEY'RE counting on!  How many times have you totally forgotten about a rebate?  It's a great was to scam people into thinking they're getting a deal when they know most people will forget.  From a marketing stand point I say Bravo!  As a consumer I say this bites!  Well, I'm not one to sit on a rebate.  I fill them out, usually the same day, and mail them out right away.  SO THERE! 
     
    While I'm on the topic of scams ...JC Penney's!  If you went shopping there over the weekend at JC Penney's then you were fooled into taking one of their candy bars for their Sweets Sale.  BOGUS!  Your wrapper would display either 30%, 35% or 40% off.  WONDERFUL!  Then in small print "regular prices".  Under that you get an "EXTRA 10% OFF" sale and clearance prices.  I had purchased a lot of clothes for my daughter and only 2 items qualified for the 35% off coupon I had, those items were around $10 each ...BIG DEAL!  Since everything else I was buying was on sale, I got a whopping 10% off those items.  Who do they think they're kidding?  Does anyone ever pay regular prices in that store?  Any time I've been there everythings on sale anyway, which is why I go there in the first place.  Thanks for the 10% off!
