I love this at the end of the movie Patton..
For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of a triumph — a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments.
“The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot,” Patton goes on, “Dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children — robed in white — stood with him in the chariot, or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror, holding a golden crown, and whispering in his ear a warning: That all glory is fleeting.
Thanks Peter Goff.

Executive orders
If you're wondering about the legality and the amount of times this has been used I have a good
link for that.http://www.thisnation.com/question/040.html
It seem it's fairly common and is once in awhile reversed.Don't get to pen happy Barrack.

Republican Resistance
Kudos for Jon Boehner for his resistance to the "bailout"or"stimulus package!Just how Naive
does Obama and the democrats think we are?Where is this money going?I as an American citizen would like to know.I also want to know SPECIFICALLY how this is going to help our
economy.Baisically it seems like we're taking out a huge secong Mortgage.Wasn't the Bush stim-
ulus tied to tax reduction?To me it seems Obama has borrowed the term "stimulus"and changed to mean borrowing from our kids future.Go get em Boehner!

George Bush's farewell speech
I loved his speech.It was compassionate.He inherited a souring economy and 9/11,I wouldn't
have wished that on any President but considering everything he was the right man for the job.He had guts to listen to his convictions.Could you imagine if Al Gore had been in the office?
Al would launched a dozen environmental studies before doing anything to clean up the World Trade center let alone take the fight to the terrorists!The EPA would be running everything.Imagine if John Kerry would've been elected...We would be having peace talks with
Bin Laden,probably in the White House at a state dinner .Kerry would say we're sorry we provoked you to attack us...etc..
Thanks Gw for having the guts to protect this country.

My energy plan
My Energy plan January 5, 2009
My energy plan for the US economy is a simple one.We basically make make our own energy so we don't have to buy it from other countries.Then,when the worlds oil supply runs out in 50+ years(or so,it depends on who you believe)we can have our own supply and sell our energy to other countries.My proposal involves a basic 5 part plan which could become a reality in 5 years. 1.Build nuclear plants ,enough to supply roughly 20% of our power. 2.Build solar farms to produce 20% 3.wind farms/hydroeletric dms producing 20% 4.Oil well/refineries 20% 5.coal/other alternative energy solutions 20% Biulding these plants,farms etc...will provide thousands of U.S. jobs for now and years to come as well as slowly releasing our reliability and debt to other countries.

George Bush's last interrogation
George Bush last interrogation was great.The "Elite media" was actually somewhat civil.
They only asked as FEW stupid questions.I love how they load their questions too!For example.."Mr President..most of the world hates the USA,you,your family,your dog etc...in
light of this fact are you happy with your presidency?"This is a typical question.They load them
with their Politcal leanings and biased views,then get bent when he doesnt just answer.Why do
they have these press conferences anyway?They're stupid!Theyre a waste of time and energy.
I hope they treat Obama the same way,I can't wait for that.More power to him and all but hey,
he should get the same treatment.
