We've had a couple of SNAFUs with the upgrade. That's to be expected. Thank you for hanging in there with us.

Not Saying Jon Ham is Racist With A Lawn Jockey, But…
Submitted by S Turner on Thu, 07/17/2008 - 9:51am.Cross-posted from The Progressive Pulse.
There are few things I dislike more than being called unpatriotic because someone disagrees with my politics. Allow me to introduce you to John Locke Foundation blogger Jon Ham, who can apparently determine your patriotism by what yard sign you display. Here is Ham's 4th of July offering:
Not questioning their patriotism, but …
Letter to the Editor: Let's have the Wright conversation
Submitted by wayne204 on Sat, 03/29/2008 - 5:18pm.Let's face it: there's way too much flaming that goes on in internet forums and in local newspapers over Reverend Wright's sermons.
It generates a lot of heat, but no light.
So how about if we back up a little and try to do what Barack has asked us to do: sit down and have a quiet conversation and try to understand one another?

'Don't rain on our parade'
Submitted by jimstaro on Sun, 11/11/2007 - 9:59am.Lets take a look at how a Country "Supports it's Veterans", a Country of citizens whose greater majority never serve in it's Military, a majority who never do much of anything of service to Country, a majority who don't even bother to Vote, and a majority who readily bitch about paying their contribution to it's Society, not about how that money is spent just that they have to Contribute.
Huge Defense Budgets means a Strong National Defense! At least one political party takes that Mocho stance.

I just was a guest on Mike Feder's show SIRIUS Satellite Radio show and learned something deeply, deeply offensive.
The liberal channel is called "SIRIUS Left."
The conservative channel is called "SIRIUS Patriot."
SIRIUS Satellite Radio doesn't think you're patriotic. This is an obscenity.
SIRIUS's media relations representative for talk radio is Hillary Schupf. Her email is hschupf@siriusradio.com. Her phone number is 212-901-6739. Let's start with her. Share what she says in the comments. This cannot be allowed to stand.
Picture of the Year: Bringing a Soldier Home and the Reason for RED FRIDAYS
Submitted by BrendaFayBowers on Mon, 02/19/2007 - 2:51pm.(Dear Reader, this is not my story. I am merely passing it on and proud to do so. Brenda)
Bringing a Soldier Home
Last week, while traveling to Chicago on business, I noticed a Marine sergeant traveling with a folded flag, but did not put two and two together. After we boarded our flight, I turned to the sergeant, who'd been invited to sit in First Class (across from me), and inquired if he was heading home.
No, he responded.
Heading out I asked?
No. I'm escorting a soldier home.
Going to pick him up?
No. He is with me right now. He was killed in Iraq . I'm taking him home to his family.
The realization of what he had been asked to do hit me like a punch to the gut. It was an honor for him. He told me that, although he didn't know the soldier, he had delivered the news of his passing to the soldier's family and felt as if he knew them after many conversations in so few days. I turned back to him, extended my hand, and said, Thank you. Thank you for doing what you do so my family and I can do what we do.
