After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military. -- William S. Burroughs

A mammary-glandless Jane Fonda…

Yep, that’s how John Kerry should be viewed. Beautiful.

And of all days to carry on with your Anti-Bush tirades Kerry

Democrat John Kerry ventured in to Republican leaning Virginia on Monday with a Memorial Day pitch targeting military families and a charge that President Bush “didn’t learn the lessons of our generation in Vietnam.”

Oh for crying out loud....AGAIN with Vietnam!?

Kerry joined Virginia Gov. Mark Warner for a Memorial Day parade in Portsmouth, home to naval shipyards and other big military installations, and later promised he could get American troops home from Iraq sooner than Bush would.

“I believe I can lead us out of Iraq effectively by accomplishing goals we need to accomplish but without putting our troops at greater risk,” he said.

What’s that phrase, all talk no action

This Memorial Day

In Flanders field the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Memorial Day has taken a different tone these past two years. No longer is it just remembering past generations and their bravery. Now, the current generation of soldier is proving Americans do have what it takes.

This weekend maybe the worst time of the year for the Anti-American Americans. But then again, who cares about them.

All I can say is Thank You to those who serve…

Damned straight

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

RNS shows us that pictures are worth a thousand words. Go read those thousands of words.

Thank your military and veterans, no matter what your beliefs may be.

From the BlogRoll

I found a story from AMCGLTD that shows why I have them on my BlogRoll in the first place. This really strikes home, because I have been wearing glasses since I was five years old.

I hope to have my miracle-on-demand sometime soon…

Send them your best.

Sorry no posts for a while…

this is my LAST quarter of school...a Bachelor of Science in Business Admin is coming in August, should all go well. 

I have two classes to take, and three placement tests.  One in Webpage design, one in finance, and one in Management basics.  The classes are in Ethics and in Financial Management. 

I finish soon, and I will blog on either Monday or Tuesday...homework goes first. 

You could post topics for me to blog on.....

Big Deal

Sorry Professor, but when Kerry keeps talking about how Bush hasn’t made this country safer, I could care less about the occasional blurb.

John Kerry yesterday rapped President Bush’s handling of a dangerous world, as the Democratic contender put international terrorists on notice that he would “crush” al Qaeda’s networks if he wins the White House.

Aren’t we doing that already? Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t we rushing Al Qaeda’s networks?

Meanwhile, the latest CBS poll showed that Kerry holds an 8-point lead over Bush among registered voters. But that 49 percent-to-41 percent lead gets even wider if Republican Sen. John McCain is added to the Democratic ticket.

Gee, CBS sure wants McCain to run with Kerry, don’t they?

I seem to have acquired a cat

Or perhaps he has acquired me. He’s about five weeks old, about five ounces of fluff, totally smoky gray with pastel blue eyes, and he is currently buzzing next to my left ear…

I have no idea what to name him, and I’m seeking suggestions… Anyone?

Some video clips

I got some video clips (in .wmv format) I can share with you. However, there is a drink warning in effect.

This first one is my idea of a good car theft deterrent system.

This one is Robert DeNiro on Saturday Night Live.

Thanks for coming by, and if you see someone in uniform, thank them for their service. No political agenda, no complaints about whether or not you agree with their Commander-in-Chief, nothing like that. These kids are working long hours, under conditions that would get any civilian employer a hefty fine and jail time, and catch hell because they are doing the job they signed up for…

Thank your military, and don’t forget the veterans.

Odd stories about France

Just a few stories found out on the web, both having to do with the French, oddly enough…

First, it seems that the universe might actually be shaped a little like the Eiffel Tower. That might explain the French’s feeling of general superiority. Let me assure you, Pierre, it’s a coincidence, nothing more…

Second, I was absolutely FLABBERGASTED over this story. It seems that the French newspaper Le Monde reported that George Bush wasn’t lying when he referred to Saddam having WMD. But it was buried at the bottom on page 32.

Uhhh, excuse me? A major national newspaper (even a French one) reports that Bush might be right? I wonder which editor/proofreader lost his job over that one? (I knew that 35-hour work week would come back to bite them in the ass sooner or later...)

My policy is gooder than yours!

Okay, just for a minute, assume you are contemplating voting for John Kerry based on national security. Would you feel better based on his first new initiative?

“As president, my number one security goal will be to prevent the terrorists from gaining weapons of mass murder,” Kerry said. “Because al Qaeda is a network with many branches, we must take the fight to the enemy on every continent and enlist other countries in that cause.”

I’ve yet to find how exactly he’s going to prevent terrorists from gaining weapons of mass murder. I suppose he just wants to contain them. Oh joy, return to the good old days!

Talk about rancid ketchup. I’ll take a pass thank you very much.

From the Imperial Vaults

...comes this report of how Waffling has now gone from John Kerry to infect the loser in the 2000 election, former VPOTUS Al Gore, and his latest speech.

From his speech earlier today:

[Bush] has exposed Americans abroad and Americans in every U.S. town and city to a greater danger of attack by terrorists because of his arrogance, willfulness, and bungling at stirring up hornet’s nests that pose no threat whatsoever to us.

Emphasis added.

But from one of Gore’s earlier speeches:

What makes Saddam dangerous is his effort to acquire weapons of mass destruction. What makes terrorists so much more dangerous than they have ever been is the prospect that they may get access to weapons of mass destruction.

That was from September 2002.

Read the whole thing.

Chill out Al

It’s comical hearing Al Gore raising his voice and going into his tirade on Bush.

“How dare they subject us to such dishonor and disgrace! How dare they drag the good name of the United States of America through the mud of Saddam Hussein’s torture prison!”

“I am calling today for Republicans as well as Democrats to join me in asking for the immediate resignations of those immediately below George Bush and Dick Cheney, who are most responsible for creating the catastrophe we are facing in Iraq,”

Boy, you must have a giant pair of brass ones there Al. Who the hell do you think you are? I notice you don’t talk about YOUR administrations hellbent for leather policy towards Iraq when you were the Veep. That must’ve been a mirage...didn’t happen apparently. You and ol’ Bubba didn’t have a plan to take down Saddam. That only happened when Dick Cheney got power in the White House, eh?

I am SO tired of the Democrats. From Al Gore, Hillary Clinton and on down the line to John Kerry. All they offer up are stupid platitudes. “If you elect me, this country will be safer!” Why, John Kerry, why? Why would it be safer under you? What in the hell would be different under your damned administration?

You are nothing but a bunch of negative narrow-minded nitwits.
