Memorial Day

I wanted to thank those Men and Women who have laid down their lives so that I may live the life that I do. I hope everyone has a great, and safe, Memorial Day.

Grill Baby, Grill

Just had me some grilled hot dogs and I realized something. I love meat. I mean, think about it. How good is a hamburger? Hot dogs? Sausage? Pork chops? Chicken? Ribs? Steak? Very, that's how good. Those of you who are vegetarians/vegans, I just don't understand you. Dead animals are tasty. And when they're grilled just right...

A day early because of Memorial Day.

We may be total opposites politically, but he makes some fantastic music. I love songs that you don't need to think about. You just put it on, turn up the volume and have fun. This is one of those songs. I think. There's a Tom Belton remix of this song, that I think is better than the original, but YouTube doesn't have it :(

Capt. Kyle Comfort
27 years old from Jacksonville, Alabama
Fire Support Officer Company D, 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment
May 8, 2010


Kyle Comfort had just recently been promoted to Captain and been assigned to a Ranger Regiment in the Army. His accomplishments as a Soldier, in such a short time, were a testament to the fact that he was an excellent Soldier. Unfortunately, in this war, it doesn’t make a lot of difference how good you are at your job. The difference seems to be left to chance. Where you are sitting in your vehicle or which vehicle you are sitting in when you hit an IED or where you are standing on your FOB when the mortars come in. All chance and circumstance.

It has to be that way. The enemy that is fighting us now could never win a legitimate war with our Soldiers. So they fight as insurgents and use tactics that they know make our Soldiers vulnerable.

That is how they got CAPT Kyle Comfort. With an IED just a month into his tour of duty in Afghanistan. If they had fought him face-to-face, they never would have gotten him.

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.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

Think Locally, Act Locally

Once again, state government has to step up when the federal government sits with it's thumb up it's ass. Anyone see a pattern here? "Blue" states and districts get more of the failed stimulus money and "Red" states such as Arizona and Louisiana get attacked and shafted. Just an observation.

Bring Us Back

I don't want Republicans to win in November or 2012. I want Conservatives to win. So is there no true Conservative out there who will bring this country back to where it's supposed to be? The last one we had was Reagan, and he left office 20 years ago. The two Republicans that have followed him portrayed themselves as Conservatives, but they weren't. And every jackass Republican that's ran for office since has tried to make himself out to be the second coming of the Gipper but they were just more big spending, power hungry politicians. I didn't vote in the last election, and unless someone is willing to stand up and tell us the cold truth that this country will fail unless we make some hard, unpopular changes I won't be voting in the next one either.
