Red Skelton on ‘The Pledge of Allegiance’

I found this video clip of Red Skelton in 1969 on network TV after seeing this story posted on the Drudge Report about a school in Massachusetts sending permission slips home regarding student participation in reciting ‘The Pledge’.  The clip now seems to be prophetic and also a sad reminder of how far we have [...]

A Turkey Day Lesson

This pic is for the ladies.  If you have the chance please read the man in the pool’s column about the “Lost Lesson of Thanksgiving”.  Made me realize “the more things change the more they stay the same” as our country today faces the same ideological struggle as the Pilgrims did almost 400 years ago.

Journalistic objectivity…..there isn’t any.

The information age has drawn back the curtain in a significant way and exposed professional journalism to the masses for what it is…..pompous and sanctimonious.  Major news outlets have always pushed an agenda while claiming not to.  The public did not have the ability to call them on it until the dawn of the Internet.  [...]

Just a bit outside

The opening day first pitch has been a tradition for all U. S. Presidents since William Howard Taft threw out the first one in 1910.  It is always fun to see politicians out of their element while trying to curry favor with the electorate and President Obama is no exception.  Here he is today throwing [...]
