I did my part did you?

I feel so much better about my existence on this earth now. Want to know what how I helped this year?

I turned every light in the house on, all the TV’s, washed and dried three loads of nothing, plugged in and turned on every kitchen gadget I could find, turned on the air conditioning, and turned the stove and all the burners on. Then as an extra I went out and started my SUV.

Damn I feel better already.

David Hurley, commander of Schweinfurt, Germany's 15th Engineer Battalion, presents unit coins to two 9th Infantry Division World War II veterans -- Charles Aldieri, a former corporal with the 746th Tank Battalion (shaking hands) and Jack Jewell, a former first lieutenant with Company B, 39th Infantry -- during a March 8 ceremony honoring the division's efforts in capturing the famed Remagen Bridge in the closing days of World War II. The commemoration took place in the Remagen Bridge and Peace Museum now housed in the remains of the span, which collapsed 10 days after its capture on March 7, 1945.

Cpl. Jason L. Dunham
22 years old from Scio, New York
Rifle Squad Leader, 4th Platoon, Company K, Third Battalion, Seventh Marines (Reinforced), Regimental Combat Team 7, FIRST Marine Division (Reinforced)
April 22, 2004


For The President of the United States of America, in the name of Congress, takes pride in presenting the Medal of Honor (Posthumously) to Corporal Jason L. Dunham, United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a Rifle Squad Leader, 4th Platoon, Company K, Third Battalion, Seventh Marines (Reinforced), Regimental Combat Team 7, FIRST Marine Division (Reinforced), on 14 April 2004. Corporal Dunham's squad was conducting a reconnaissance mission in the town of Karabilah, Iraq, when they heard rocket-propelled grenade and small arms fire erupt approximately two kilometers to the west. Corporal Dunham led his Combined Anti-Armor Team towards the engagement to provide fire support to their Battalion Commander's convoy, which had been ambushed as it was traveling to Camp Husaybah. As Corporal Dunham and his Marines advanced, they quickly began to receive enemy fire. Corporal Dunham ordered his squad to dismount their vehicles and led one of his fire teams on foot several blocks south of the ambushed convoy. Discovering seven Iraqi vehicles in a column attempting to depart, Corporal Dunham and his team stopped the vehicles to search them for weapons. As they approached the vehicles, an insurgent leaped out and attacked Corporal Dunham. Corporal Dunham wrestled the insurgent to the ground and in the ensuing struggle saw the insurgent release a grenade. Corporal Dunham immediately alerted his fellow Marines to the threat. Aware of the imminent danger and without hesitation, Corporal Dunham covered the grenade with his helmet and body, bearing the brunt of the explosion and shielding his Marines from the blast. In an ultimate and selfless act of bravery in which he was mortally wounded, he saved the lives of at least two fellow Marines. By his undaunted courage, intrepid fighting spirit, and unwavering devotion to duty, Corporal Dunham gallantly gave his life for his country, thereby reflecting great credit upon himself and upholding the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.

I got done paying Uncle Bill and checked out Google news and this hit me:

The Tea Party Is All About Race

Now that’s a headline I had to read. Clicked on it and low and behold it’s from the HuffingtonPost.com. Dude I tell you I knew I was in for fun. He starts of with this:

I was going to open this piece with an analogy about the tea party groups and why they're treated seriously by the press and the Republicans. The analogy would go something like: "Imagine [insert left-wing activist group here] getting a serious profile in a mainstream newspaper, and imagine serious Democratic politicians appearing at their convention."

Okay let’s start with “treated seriously by the press”. If he believes this he must be living in a dream world. When have you every seen a Tea party event on the nightly news? Never, well maybe on FOX.

"Imagine [insert left-wing activist group here] getting a serious profile in a mainstream newspaper, and imagine serious Democratic politicians appearing at their convention."

Dude had me pissing in my pants on that. I could add a shit load of left-wing activist group’s getting a serious profile in a mainstream newspaper. Problem is no one reads a “mainstream newspaper”.

Then he chucked this air ball up

“Serious Democratic politicians”

Dude needless to say I fell on the ground laughing my ass off. The puppy was scared that I was having a heart attack. My life flashed before my eyes. The green thing came out and ran around the room.

Well the dude has a right to his opinion, just not getting it. But he is funny. Feel free to read it, I warn you don’t eat or drink while doing it, you might have an accident.

Me I am going to get a new pair of pants.
