  Was I the only one who paid attention in civics class?

  Yesterday there was a rally on the steps of the Capital featuring the several Republican Congressmen. The featured speaker was House Minority leader John Boehner. Mr. Boehner took the stage and proceeded to deliver one of the biggest forehead slappers of the year. As seen in the video he holds up a copy of the Constitution and says he wants to quote from it but quotes from the Declaration of Independence. Yes the Minority leader of the House of Representatives does not know the difference between the two. And NO ONE in the crowd seemed to notice. God help us.

  D-Day

  Today is the 65th anniversary of the Invasion of Normandy, better known as D-Day. A few days ago marked the 65th anniversary of a turning point in the history of my family. It was May 1944 and my grandfather Dewey Jenkins (yes his name was Dewey don't laugh) was set to ship out to England and take part in the most important battle of the century. Just days before leaving one of his buddies jumped on his back and blew out his knee. Just days later, laid up in the infirmary he was informed of the deaths of his entire platoon in the first wave of the attack. He would spend months in the hospital and was discharged from the Army. He went on to father 10 children, over 20 grandchildren and over 10 great-grandchildren. (I think those are correct. I haven't meet all of my second cousins). So on this day I salute the men that were not as lucky as my grandfather and perished on Normandy beach.

  Election Day

  Well the day has finally come to bring an end to the most interesting and groundbreaking political season of our lifetime. I'd like to show some of my highlights from the campaign. First being the terrible hypocrisy of the Fixed News channel with the this piece from The Daily Show. Next on to proof of what some of us already knew, that the potential new boss was the same as the old boss again thanks to The Daily Show. My last Daily Show piece shows that according to the McCain Campaign I am not a "REAL" American because I live in a big urban area.

  Now on to my favorite gaffes of the campaign. First the "My Fellows Prisoners" speech. Next the "You want to do what to my taxes?" speech. And last but not least is Senator McCain reacting to a Democratic Congressman calling his constituents racist. Swing and a Miss.
