National Anthem Like You Have Never Heard

If you enjoyed Roseanne Bahr's version of the National Anthem, then don't listen to this. Thanks to my Dad for sending this on. These five little girls (look to be 10 and under) sing like angels.

Boycott Time Magazine

Time Magazine should be ashamed of themselves. Using the bloodiest battle in WWII at Iwo Jimo against a true threat (the Japanese, not Global Warming) to promote their "green" views.

I hope there are surving vets that find the editor of this magazine (Richard Stengel) on the street and pummel him. From my favorite quote in the article, I believe they will:

Donald Mates, an Iwo Jima veteran, told the Business & Media Institute on April 17 that using that photograph for that cause was a “disgrace.” “It’s an absolute disgrace,” Mates said. “Whoever did it is going to hell. That’s a mortal sin. God forbid he runs into a Marine that was an Iwo Jima survivor.”

Hillary...You have to be kidding me...

I watched a live CNN broadcast today of Hillary stumping to a women’s group in Pennsylvania. I only caught bits and pieces of her royal thighness but one item was very interesting.

Hillary was talking about college debt and what she would do to eradicate it. We don't want our college graduates to come out of school with debt. No, that would be...well...what nearly every college graduate has ever done.

So, Hillary's solution. Ready for this? Community Service. You gather up huge amounts of loans, hopefully graduate with a decent GPA and then to pay it off you can clean up garbage from interstate ditches for 2 years. Insanity has completely set in.

I don't know about you, but I do know there are a lot of medical students that rack up $40k, $50 up to $100k in school loans. It takes them quite a while to pay them off but they eventually do it. I imagine that our more talented doctors would quite enjoy scraping deer carcassas and raccoons off our rural side roads. Maybe to keep in practice they can perform an autopsy or two.

Look, Hillary, I know you are reading this. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid and come up with a real plan. In fact, you don't need a plan. For many years these kids have racked up these school loans. The honest ones pay them back and the less than virtuous do not. Let the banks take care of it and let their credit rating suffer. I am not sure why I and every other Joe taxpayer should have to bail their lazy butts out. The smart kids defer the payments until they die and then leave the burden to their kids anyway. I wish I could do that with my mortgage.

Oh, and one more thing. You spouting off about pulling the troops within 60 days of you being in office. Dumb. That Iranian bastard leader is sitting over there maniacally laughing and building up his troops on the border of Iraq. He adds a few more thousand every time you and Obama Bin Laden talk about withdrawing the troops from Iraq. When we get out, he goes in. You want complete instability in the Middle East and gas prices that equal one arm and one leg per gallon? Then pull the troops.

Presidential Candidates

Although I do enjoy the Dems beating each other up left and right, I cannot stomach the ick that oozes from the wounds. The filth, the lies and the elitism that runs rampant through this campaign is of heroic proportions.

Hillary has put out her "First 100 Days in Office" plan. Tighten your safety belt because here we go (I have her plan and then following is my version of the result):

1. Immediate troop withdrawls from Iraq - Iraq implodes, USA gets attacked by extremists fresh from the strip clubs
2. Roll back the Bush tax cuts - You think gas costs are bad? Wait until the tax cuts go away.
3. Un-veto bills for stem cell research - More government spending is needed. We should make nothing private or "for profit". That would be...capitalistic of us.
4. Government funded health care for citizens - Citizens of the US. Open your wallets and say "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". I am not sure I want to be a "citizen". In this connotation is sounds like I would be part of a master race. Oh wait, I think that is what she is after.
5. Close Gitmo - Perfect. Now we can treat our captured enemy combantants to a scone and Starbucks at the Waldorf.

All this in the first 100 days. Wow...dare to dream.

Obama bin Laden - Michael Gerson, Op-Ed Columnist from the Washington Post wrote exactly how I feel on March 5th of this year. You can read it here. Please read it...

Basically if either of these two makes it into the White House we are doomed. Hillary and Bill will once again rule the land under sex, lies and videotape (and no, the sex would not be between Hillary and Bill).

I am not sure we would ever see Obama as when he is not sipping Champaign with the upper echelon, he will be jet setting in Iran having milk and cookies with Ahmadinejad.

Good luck America...we are going to need it.
