Read this:
MIAMI BEACH, FL -- In an odd twist of fate, a sister caught her sister's last minutes alive - without even knowing.Maria Ramoutar and her sister were in separate cars on their way back from Miami Beach when Maria saw a fiery car crash. She decided to videotape it with her cell phone.Four people inside that burning car died, including Maria's sister.Maria didn't find out it was her sister till the next day. Now she says she wishes she would have done something to save her.
Typical lazy American. Another person who lives by the idea that she doesn't need to take responsibility for her own actions, and she won't do anything if it doesn't affect her. I hope she lives the rest of her life wondering if she could have saved her sister. This woman is another typical asshat who likes to slowly drive by wrecks, hoping to see something really gory. Suck it, bitch!

Immigration
How do I feel about the current uproar over the illegal immigrants? First of all, they are not "immigrants." They are illegal aliens. I know that Mexicans are hard workers, and I know that they will do jobs for minimum wage that the typical American feels are beneath him or her. I don't have a problem with Mexicans working here. The problem I have are when those same Mexicans are here illegally. If they are not here legally, then they need to have their asses thrown back across the border. I think we need to have a wall manned by armed guards and canines. I think that there should not be locations set out in the desert environments that have water and food for illegals. If a Mexican crosses our border and dies in the desert, well...too bad, so sad.
Furthermore, if your ass wants to live in this country, then learn the f*****g language!

Honor our heroes
Never forget the heroes who wore the medal shown below:
This is the Medal of Honor, the highest award for gallantry in action that the United States Armed Forces bestows upon the bravest of the brave. The design is slightly different between the naval forces (Navy and Marine Corps), Army, and Air Force.
Did you know that three recipients recently died? Desmond Doss, Sr., Michael Novosel, and David Bleak all recently passed away.
Desmond Doss, Sr. received his MOH for actions in World War II. Desmond was a conscientious objector, but he still had a sense of duty and patriotism. Don't confuse his being a CO with the current crop of CO's, who are mostly cowards with no sense of honor or duty or country. Desmond wanted to serve his country, but he just could not bring himself to carry a weapon and kill his fellow man. What did he do? Well, Desmond became a medic, and his calling happened during the battle for Okinawa. While under enemy fire on the island of Okinawa, Doss carried 75 wounded soldiers to the edge of a 400-foot cliff and lowered them to safety, according to his citation. During a later attack, he was seriously wounded in the legs by a grenade. According to the citation, as he was being carried to safety, he saw a more critically injured man and crawled off his stretcher, directing the medics to help the other wounded man.
Michael Novosel received his MOH for actions in Vietnam. For Michael, Vietnam was his third war. Michael flew 2543 missions. On Oct. 2, 1969, he commanded his Bell UH-1 Huey to a heavily guarded enemy training area to rescue wounded South Vietnamese soldiers. Without a U.S. gunship to cover him, he searched close to the tall elephant grass teaming with enemy snipers to find the wounded Allied soldiers. "Since all communications with the beleaguered troops had been lost, he repeatedly circled the battle area, flying at low level under continuous heavy fire, to attract the attention of the scattered friendly troops," his Medal of Honor citation said. "This display of courage visibly raised their morale, as they recognized this as a signal to assemble for evacuation." Compelled to leave the area because of the ferocity of the enemy fire, he returned many times to find the injured soldiers. He once maneuvered the helicopter backward to pick up a South Vietnamese casualty near an enemy bunker and, under intense automatic weapon fire, Mr. Novosel was wounded in the right leg and hand. Although he briefly lost control of the chopper, he was able to maneuver to safety. He was credited with saving 29 lives that day.
David Bleak received his MOH for actions in Korea. On June14, 1952, David volunteered to go on patrol. The patrol was ambushed. A soldier was injured. David went to tend to the injured soldier when three enemy soldiers appeared and engaged in hand-to-hand combat. David broke the neck of the first one, crushed the windpipe of the second one, and dispatched the third one with his trench knife. A grenade fell nearby. David used his body to shield the wounded soldier, sustaining injuries. David picked up the wounded man and began to carry him to safety when he was confronted by two enemy soldiers brandishing bayonets. David grabbed them and smashed their heads together, crushing their skulls. He then got the wounded man to safety. No Clive Cussler or Tom Clancy novel can match the true events of David Bleak that June day.
So, there you are. They are now marching proudly on God's parade field. Measure what you do to what they have done on a daily basis, and you will always aspire to be better. There is no greater glory than to be an American Hero. They stood head and shoulders above the rest.

Dude! Where's my car?
This is a real picture!
I took this picture in St. Louis on May 11, 1995. As you might remember, this was during a period of flooding that was happening in the midwest. Two days earlier I was at this same location and there were cars parked on the paved lot where you see the sign. The St. Louis Arch would be to the left, just off-camera. The paddle-wheel you see is a floating McDonald's. I don't know if it is still there, but a recent check on Google Earth would lead me to believe that it is. I can only imagine if somebody had left their car parked on this lot when the water came rushing in.
This isn't the first time this has happened. The above link shows the same location in 1993.

My honey
Hubba, hubba!
We just bought an HP printer/fax/scanner. I was tinkering around with the scanner and decided to try to scan a picture I keep at my computer desk. This sexy creature is my wife. We have been together since 1997, and she just keeps getting sexier and sexier. My wife really tickles my fancy. She is very giving of herself, and she has to be an angel to be able to live with me. I can be an absolute prick at times, but she endures me and complements me very well. I don't know how many people read this blog, but you should know that I LOVE MY WIFE.
