My Uncommon Political Briefing of the Day

Yes, I know- you aren't here to read about politics. I get that. But having said that, I'm going to make a brief "support the troops" message. For a post by someone you might be more used to being a bit more policitally outspoken you can visit Blonde Sagacity.

Seems some people think that funeral services of fallen American soldiers are a good place to protest how mush God hates the United States.

IMHO, funerals should be reserved to show respect for those who risked their lives for their country- whether you agree with the war or not.

Thankfully to counter these insulting anti-American attacks, a group of bikers known as the Patriot Guard Riders have begun gathering at funerals- per the request of families, and shielding them from the torment that protesters would have them suffer.

Please take a moment to show your appreciation for those that provide this incredible display of respect and love for the families of fallen heros. Patriot Guard Riders - Americans Doing the Right Thing No matter where you stand on the issue of war, attempt to remember that these soldiers are our brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, sons and daughters. They deserve our highest of respect, and our deepest display of honor, while they live, and it should continue past their heartbreaking deaths.

Wow.
What a great thing.
And non-violent, too.

Can I start one where we occasioanally crack a traitorous commie-skull or two?

Just wondering....

BTW, you can talk politics whenever you like, imo.

I applaud you for this.
No matter our individual feelings about the war, these men and women did not set the policies, or make the decisions.
Once they joined up, they had even less input. They are told "this is what is right, this is what you will do, and you will do it without complaining". And they do. So when they come home, they deserve our respect, and our support. No matter if they come home on their own two feet, a stretcher, or a casket.
And their own families have given enough. Don't ask them to respond to politics at a funeral.

Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...

Boyfriends...

I sometimes wonder if certain men have some sort of animal DNA breed into them. The type of DNA or whatever it is that makes animals ritually preform certain actions. Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott. Thunborg was babysitting his girlfriend's 11 month of baby in March when police say he caused ...
