Have an honorable Veterans Day.

Navy SEALS cut down three pirates after a three-day stand-off with the U.S.-flagged ship Maersk Alabama. I love it when our military comes in to save the day for a good reason. This makes me proud!

Here’s wishing you all the best of the new year!

Hope your holidays are great!

I have had some time to look at some statistics of people who read this blog and I want to thank some folks. Thanks goes out to Halifax, Bath, Aalst, Mettmann, Manchester, Bochum, Morfelden, Prague, Ostrava, Maples and Casablanca.

An Iraqi news reporter throws his shoes at President Bush during a ceremony in Iraq stating “This is the end”. First off, I would like to say those are pretty good reflexes for an old man. Second, I believe that perhaps Barbara must throw shoes at him because he ducked the shoe too naturally, not unlike an athlete. Third, and maybe most importantly; where was the secret service? Sure the first shoe was a surprise, but someone was supposed to “take the bullet” on the second shoe. I should have seen a man diving in front of the podium in response to the second shoe with no regard for his own life.

To the Iraqi “shoeman”; what the heck, man? You must have grown up in the posh area of Iraq, not ever throwing a rock in your life. How could you miss? Twice! You are a disgrace to your recently liberated country. You are what we, in America, call an “easy out.” He did hit the American flag, so maybe we should let a Marine talk to him about honor. Just a thought.

That’s all I got to say about that.
