Story of Father's Day Mrs. John B. Dodd, of Washington, first proposed the idea of a "father's day" in 1909. Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. William Smart, a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife (Mrs. Dodd's mother) died in childbirth with their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state. It was after Mrs. Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent. The first Father's Day was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane Washington. At about the same time in various towns and cities across American other people were beginning to celebrate a "father's day." In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Finally in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day. Father's Day has become a day to not only honor your father, but all men who act as a father figure. Stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, and adult male friends are all be honored on Father's Day.

Now we have another example of dem ethics. The line is this person did nothing illegal. That may be true. But was it ethical???? I know if I find something, I turn it into some legal authority or if I can determine who it belongs to I return it. I would not ever attempt to invade another's privacy. But dems are a different breed it would seem. No one is condemning this personal invasion of privacy. It's a very interesting insight into the lowest common denominator of morals. I enjoyed the movie "Absence of Malice". This story I think will play out and be a perfect example of Absence of Ethics. tom watson tosiwmee

What the newsmax article failed to point out is the embarrassment that the Rove-Mehlman analysis caused among fellow Republicans. That was reported in other, legitimate media. The analysis was prepared for a group of California Republicans, and, of course, was partisan. Re: the GOP goal to "mobilize GOP base, reach out to Hispanics, unions, African-Americans": Let me know when the punchline is coming. Please explain how the Republican Party, and GWB in particular, is reaching out to African-Americans. A prime example of the Republicans' avoidance of African-Americans can be found here in Cincinnati, where groundbreaking for the new $65 million National Underground Railroad Freedom Center takes place tomorrrow. George is sending Laura to say a few words because, obviously, speaking before an audience of mostly African-Americans is something George is very, very uncomfortable with.
