If you think the Department of Homeland Security will accept something that was photoshopped that's scarier than Obama being born in Kenya. It means there would be a cottage industry of people making birth certificates for illegals so they apply for a document that proves citizenship.Teresitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528002521904908827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-40065473977649549342008-08-23T09:10:00.000-04:002008-08-23T09:10:00.000-04:00Ahh, the Starbuck's coffee in Houston has a real T...Ahh, the Starbuck's coffee in Houston has a real Texan bite this morning.Deuce ☂https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-7613307923758450842008-08-23T08:47:00.000-04:002008-08-23T08:47:00.000-04:00Slo Joe"I mean, you got the first mainstream Afric...<A HREF="http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2007/01/31/snow.biden.blunder.affl" REL="nofollow">Slo Joe</A><BR/><BR/>"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."<BR/>Biden said he was referring to a phrase used by his mother.<BR/>"My mother has an expression: clean as a whistle, sharp as a tack," Biden said."<BR/><BR/>Biden has made other questionable comments. In a June 2006 appearance in New Hampshire, the senator commented on the growth of the Indian-American population in Delaware by saying, "You cannot go into a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. Oh, I'm not joking."<BR/><BR/>Two months later, responding to a question in an August interview on Fox News Sunday, Biden was asked how a "Northeast liberal" could compete against more conservative southern candidates.<BR/><BR/>"Better than everybody else. You don't know my state. My state was a slave state. My state is a border state. My state is the eighth largest black population in the country. My state is anything from a northeast liberal state," Biden said.<BR/><BR/>He repeated the comment during a visit to South Carolina in December 2006 at an event before the Columbia Rotary Club, according to a story published in The State newspaper. <BR/>The State reported that Biden referred to Delaware as a "slave state that fought beside the North. That's only because we couldn't figure out how to get to the South. There were a couple of states in the way."Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-85576043771952396822008-08-23T07:19:00.000-04:002008-08-23T07:19:00.000-04:00I've a continuing ed. class all weekend. bobal, ti...I've a continuing ed. class all weekend. bobal, time for you to tend bar, my friend.:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-58994509791467782492008-08-23T06:55:00.000-04:002008-08-23T06:55:00.000-04:00Farewell to an American Hero - Joe GallowayToo Ta...<A HREF="http://michaelyon-online.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1852:joe-galloway-farewell-to-an-american-hero&catid=56:guest-authors&Itemid=100" REL="nofollow">Farewell to an American Hero</A><BR/> - Joe Galloway<BR/><BR/>Too Tall Ed was 80 years old when he died in a hospital in Boise, Idaho, after long being ill with Parkinson’s disease. He turned down a full dress hero’s funeral in Arlington National Cemetery in favor of a hometown service and burial in the National Cemetery in Boise, close to the rivers he loved to fish and the mountains he flew through in his second career flying for the U.S. Forest Service.<BR/><BR/>A few days before the end, his old buddy Lt. Col. Bruce (Ancient Serpent 6) Crandall came to the hospital to say his goodbyes to Too Tall Ed, and to enjoy one last round of arguing with Ed over that question of which of them was the best pilot in the world.<BR/><BR/>In a fine display of the sort of gallows humor that's always helped men who know the horrors of war keep some of their sanity, Bruce told Ed that he intended to settle the question once and for all by borrowing a helicopter, sling-loading Ed’s coffin below it and then lowering it into the grave where Too Tall will rest _ something that only the Best Pilot in the World could do. Something that only the best friend in the world could tell a dying man.<BR/><BR/>These two men received their Medals of Honor long after the deeds that earned them in the furious battles of the Ia Drang Valley in November of 1965 at the dawn of our long, bitter war in Vietnam. President George W. Bush presented Too Tall Ed with his medal in 2001 and hung the medal around Old Snake Crandall’s neck in 2007.<BR/><BR/>When their friends in the 1st Battalion, 7th U.S. Cavalry were surrounded and fighting for their lives near the Cambodian border and needed ammunition and water and helicopters to carry out the gravely wounded, Bruce and Ed flew their Huey helicopters, again and again, into a small clearing swept by North Vietnamese machine gun and rifle fire.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-76616987795492355132008-08-23T06:54:00.000-04:002008-08-23T06:54:00.000-04:00He won't choose Ridge.Romney could help him in the...He won't choose Ridge.<BR/>Romney could help him in the 4 or so states that are mentioned, but what effect would he have in all the rest?Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-91702762045944491922008-08-23T06:44:00.000-04:002008-08-23T06:44:00.000-04:00“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-Amer...“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” Biden said.<BR/><BR/>Thus assuring himself a place on the ticket.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-79049565009812697702008-08-23T05:06:00.000-04:002008-08-23T05:06:00.000-04:00Biden takes away the age issue against McCain.Biden takes away the age issue against McCain.Deuce ☂https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-37704896294885626382008-08-23T04:59:00.000-04:002008-08-23T04:59:00.000-04:00only jokingonly jokingDeuce ☂https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-77792505003337483232008-08-23T04:58:00.000-04:002008-08-23T04:58:00.000-04:00I hope McCain does not choose Ridge.
