There’s seems to be a real problem with flies at the Crawford White House West. I’m not surprised as I’ve noticed that flies tend to be attracted to Crap!

Personally I think that Darth Cheney and the First Fool are watching the situation in Pakistan very closely, not because they give much of a hoot. They are looking for pointers on how to do it when they “need” to impose martial law in the USA. You know, see what works for Bushareff and learn from any mistakes he makes.

Today is Remembrance (Veterans) Day in Canada.

OK kid, does this mean November 11 doesn’t mean anything in the USA anymore? Not a holiday?

University of Florida recognizes both. When I was at University of Alabama, I think they recognized both, as well, plus Confederate Veteran’s Day, which was the compromise that got MLK Day to be a state holiday.

When did Veteran’s Day quit being Armistice Day? And what did Memorial Day start out as?

Don’t recall when the Armistice Day to Veterans Day change occurred but it may have been when they morphed Memorial Day, Washington/Lincoln’s B’days (President’s Day) and Columbus’ B’day from the actual days originally observed to the closest Monday.

I believe Memorial Day has always been Memorial Day since it was first established to honor those killed during the Civil War.

Remembrances of past. November 11, 1979, playing “Last Post and Revellry” on trumpet for the Fallen Heroes who died in North Africa and are buried in Bhenghazi, Libya.

Dec.2,1979, American Embassy in Tripoli bombed as Gaddafi allied himself with Ayatolla Khomeini at the fall of the Shah of Iran.

28 years later is Musharref the new Shah?

Plat Taps.

Perhaps take a gander at this pix if you get a chance.

why do their faces look like those of spoiled, misbehaving children who’ve been “caught” at something really really bad? good catch OKK.

I love your everyday flag selise.

Thanks for the reminder. I must go refresh the poor scraggly yellow ribbon at the end of our driveway again. And maybe put up a fresher flag – although, embarrassingly, it was made in China, and the colors have held up better than the big fancy flags bought by the township trustees.

Then I must replace the almost totally whitened (age, not abuse) ribbon and “Support the Troops. Bring Them Home.” sign in our car window. Somehow, for me it’s been more eloquent as it faded color, serving as a strong reminder that this odious fake “war on terrah” drags on and on and on, with no end in sight.

20060120 can’t come soon enough for me.

Thank you Julie for the bright spot today. Those birdies never get to our neck of the woods, but my sweetie grew up seeing them a-plenty. Their prodigious appetites and tendency to be very social nearly drove his dad nuts, heh.
