Political Correctness'.........defined

"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

    Cook out or go to a Buffet like me and the Mrs. did. :D

    Our local fireworks display might get rained out. :#
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    The stereo is on, and warming up for tonight. The beer is in the refrigerator, and cooling down for tonight. The garden hoses in the front and back are ready for any stray fireworks tonight. Happy 4th of July.

    Tell your wife they have free will too. We have to be proactive when we can.

    It was with a great sense of pride that I noted that the Army Band, known as "Pershing's Own", had to play the music of a Marine Sgt. Major all night long. :p

    Amen. Further, I have come to the conclusion that my efforts are better spent trying to correct my own bouts of stupidity, rather that those of others.

    I agree and have been yelling that for many years. In my own home though.

    If people don't pay attention to what others and our government are doing, those others and our government will steam roll right over those people.

    Just like they've been doing for 60 years.

    Our government has turned into a perpetual re-election oriented duel membership clubs.

    We need "term limits" for ALL politicians...not just the Presidency!

    Also a fair flat tax for all...not 10,000 pages of tax codes and loop-holes.

    6:30 in what time zone? I'm curious what I might have missed, assuming everything was broadcast live. What were they showing at that time? I think we had it on some time around 9:00 Eastern time.
