THERE WILL BE MUCH WRITTEN ABOUT THE COMMEMORATION OF THIS DAY BY PEOPLE FAR MORE INTELLIGENT AND ELOQUENT THAN I AM.HERE IS MY POOR CONTRIBUTION.PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH THE REST OF US ABOUT HOW YOU’RE FEELING.
Everybody remembers where they were when they first heard the news that awful day.I was in the basement of a metal recycling plant picking up dirty uniforms and listening to Don&Roma on my little radio when the news broke about a plane hitting one of the towers.At first it was thought to be a small plane like the one that had struck a building in Dallas recently.When the news came of a second plane hitting the other tower it flushed over everyone that something was terribly wrong.
Some networks pulled their broadcasts that evening and one simply showed a single burning candle with soft music playing.We saw images of people,covered in dust fleeing for their lives.Some 200 jumped from the upper stories rather than be burned alive or asphyxiated.Firemen and policemen rushed into buildings to save people giving no thought to their own safety.
For a brief period of time the world stood with us.The press put their perpetual criticism of the president on hold for about two weeks before the criticism of how he reacted that day as he read to some young schoolchildren started.Through it all,President Bush showed himself to be a true leader in time of crisis.He was unsurprisingly given no credit for holding the country together during our darkest hour.
The pain was unbearable.
The heroes were unforgettable.
Bashing the president for not stopping it unforgivable.
PRESIDENTS BUSH AND CLINTON SPOKE AT THE FLIGHT 93 MEMORIAL YESTERDAY.SEE IF YOU CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THIS VIDEO WITHOUT TEARING UP AND GETTING A KNOT IN YOUR STOMACH.I COULDN’T DO IT.
I HAVE NO PARTICULAR LOVE FOR PRESIDENT CLINTON,BUT I URGE YOU TO CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE HIS SPEECH YESTERDAY.HE TRANSCENDS PARTISAN POLITICS IN A WAY I DIDN’T THINK HE WAS CAPABLE OF.
Surprise!Since Wisconsin eliminated mandatory union dues and forcing members to use union-approved health insurance, funding to the council is drying up.Go figure.
I never looked into the whole “Clintons renting Lincoln Bedroom” scandal before. I heard about it back when, but never knew any of the details. Turns out … the Rest of the Story spans more than a decade. And it ain’t pretty.
Barack Hussein definitely follows in the feet of the Masters of Deception. The Clintons and their followers have lied so much and so often, I suspect they don’t even know what’s true any more. Maybe no Democrat does.
ALL I CAN SAY IS,’WOW’.I LISTENED TO OBIE’S PRESSER ON THE RADIO YESTERDAY AND I COULD SENSE HE WAS GETTING PISSED.HIS WHOLE LIFE,THINGS HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO HIM.NOBODY’S EVER TOLD HIM ‘NO.’
WE FINALLY HAVE SOME REPUBLICANS WITH THE BALLS TO STAND UP TO THIS BUFFOON.I’M CONVINCED BOEHNER WAS READY TO CAVE,BUT CANTOR MUST HAVE CONVINCED HIM DOING SO WOULD COST HIM HIS SPEAKERSHIP.WHATEVER IT WAS,ITS TIME TO CALL HIS BLUFF.
BIDEN FREAKS IN DEFICIT MEETING: ‘C’MON,MAN,LETS GET REAL.’
RED SKELTON WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS WHEN I WAS YOUNG.HE NEVER NEEDED TO USE PROFANITY OR TOILET HUMOR TO MAKE YOU LAUGH.EVERY TIME I SEE THIS,I GET TEARS IN MY EYES.HOW FAR HAVE WE FALLEN?
I RAN A LITTLE LONG,BECAUSE I’M OFF WORK TODAY.I HAVE TO LEAVE YOU WITH THIS.LEVIN CLOSES HIS SHOW WITH IT EVERY FRIDAY.THE ABSOLUTE BEST THIS SONG WAS EVER DONE
I had a great time yesterday.Slip N Slides are not for fat old men,but the youngsters sure had a great time.I had a good time watching them and remembering when I played on one.Some toys are ageless.Happy memories are priceless.
FLORIDA’S DEBATED WELFARE DRUG SCREEN LAW KICKS IN
Nearly all of my clients are low income and live in subsidized housing.I hear a lot of stories about drug dealers swarming these places and even knocking on apartment doors on the first of the month when welfare checks come out.It’s no joke.
When it comes to meanings of words, many politicians subscribe to the thumbscrew theory of lexicography: torture the language until it says what you want it to say. Bill Clinton concerned himself with little words like “is,” but Barack Obama has bigger fish to fry: he wants to redefine the word “hostilities.” The Bard of Murdock elaborates:
For Democratic presidents
Afflicted with precision,
The definition of a word
Can be a grave decision.
It stands to reason that elites
Who take a small excursion,
Would want to find replacement words,
And with them a diversion.
But stupid is as stupid does
And ‘is’ is self-defining;
No matter how Bill Clinton spins,
The word needs no refining.
A decade later, once again
We’re back to definitions,
This time primarily with guns,
With bombs and live munitions.
The President prefers what he
Would call kinetic action;
He hates the word hostilities,
Preferring an abstraction.
I’m sure Gaddafi and his friends
Might raise a point of order,
As NATO’s bombs drop left and right
Inside their country’s border.
But if we were to call it war
Then, per our Constitution,
It would require Congress pass
An awkward resolution.
So following in Bubba’s steps
And Democrat tradition,
The President just redefines
And doesn’t seek permission.
