is a website that LCpl. Manoukian's mother set up for her son after he lost his life in Ramadi.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
It Is Foolish And Wrong To Mourn The Men Who Died. Rather We Should Thank God That Such Men Lived

This post is part of the Wednesday Hero Blogroll. If you would like to participate in honoring the brave men and women who serve this great country, you can find out how by clicking here.

Thank You All

I had a nice big post all planned out to thank you all for sticking with me and this blog, but if you've been with me long enough you know I'm not a very eloquent guy. I'm not good at speechafyin'. But through the three years that I've been blogging I've meet some interesting people. Some have come and gone and others have been faithful readers for quite some time. And I've come to think of you all as my friends. Which is rare for me. I'm a anti-social person. I don't like people. And I feel that you all, along with this blog, have kept me sane these past three years. If it weren't for this blog I'd have no where to put my nutty ideas. No place to vent my frustration. No one in my family is very political, and as I just stated I'm not big on people, so it here and it's with you that I get to share the crap that's on my mind. There have been a few times where I've just wanted to up and let Right-Wing & Right Minded go, but something always pulls me back in. Throughout it's different incarnations, Powerage Rambles On, Right-Wing & Right Minded back on ModBlog and now on Blogger, I've had some of the greatest people with me. From the guy that was with me since the very beginning to the Wednesday Hero crew who have just found this site. We may not always agree, and we may not be able to actually get along in the real world, but right here we're best buddies. So, thank you all for being here when I need you.

God, could I get anymore sappy?

IQ Test

A man walked into a very high-tech bar. As he sat down on a stool, he
noticed that the bartender was a robot. The robot clicked to attention
and asked, "Sir, what will you have?"

The man thought a moment, then replied, "A martini, please."

The robot clicked a couple of times and mixed the best martini the man
had ever had. The robot asked, "Sir, what is your IQ?"

The man answered, "Oh, about 164."

The robot then proceeded to discuss the theory of relativity,
inter-stellar space travel, the latest medical breakthroughs, etc. The
man was most impressed. He started to leave the bar, but thought he
would try different tactic. He returned and took a different seat.

Again, the robot clicked and asked what he would have.

"A martini, please."

Again it was superb. The robot again asked, "What is your IQ, sir?"

This time the man answered, "Oh, about 100."

So the robot started discussing NASCAR racing, bass fishing and what
to expect the Steelers to do this weekend.

The guy had to try it one more time. So he left, returned and took a
different stool.... Again a martini, and the question "What is your IQ?"

This time the man drawled out, "Uh . . . 'bout 50."

The robot clicked, then leaned close and very slowly asked,

"A-r-e y-o-u-r p-e-o-p-l-e r-e-a-l-l-y g-o-i-n-g t-o n-o-m-i-n-a-t-e H-i-l-l-a-r-y?"

In Case You Missed It

No, it's not a return of the full post. I don't have the time to look up stories like before. Rather it's just one story that really sticks out to me. Enjoy.

Chinese men are ordering "ghost brides" for after they die. Recently deceased girls are buried with a bachelor so he can have a bride in the afterlife. And this a common practice in this area of China.

A Rally Of Hate

Thousands of people, including the usual celebrity suspects, gathered in Washington, D.C. on Saturday to once again protest against the U.S. military. Can you imagine the vile hatred that was spewed away from the cameras and microphones at this anti-freedom rally.

The Best Worst Movie Of All Time

I've seen some pretty crappy movies in my time. Titanic, Spider Man 2, Repo Man. But those movies were just plain bad. However, last night I watched a movie that was so bad it was almost good. Billy The Kid Versus Dracula. Made in 1966, this movie is so B it's a C movie. Dracula sets up a young girl's family to be killed by the dirty savage Indians, it's a 60's western don't forget, and then proceeds to take the place of her uncle so he can make her his new bride. It's up to her fiancée, Billy The Kid, who's turned over a new leaf and is a good guy now, to try and stop him. Bad acting and a bad story. But there are two things that makes this just barely watchable. The first is Dracula himself. The hands down worst vampire ever. The red light and the disappearing/reappearing was priceless. And the ending. Bullets can't harm him, but throw your gun at his head and it'll knock him out. YEAH!!!! If you're lucky enough to find a copy of this, or catch it on Turner Classic Movies, you owe it to yourself to watch it.

Brining A Message Of Despair

Newly elected House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and long time war critic John Murtha decided to go to Iraq and check out the situation themselves. And I'm sure they were given a warm welcome by the troops, kind of like Kerry and Hillary were. When are these far Left nutjobs going to learn that the vast majority of the troops don't like them? They constantly slam the job they're doing and then they expect them to embrace and maybe even thank them for "looking out for them". They can disguise it under the falsehood of criticizing the president, but it's the soldiers who're carrying this war out so it's them they're bashing.
