Happy Hour

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

June Was Deadliest Month for U.S. Troops in Iraq in 3 Years: Michelle Obama Didn’t Know U.S. Troops Were Still in Iraq

From Andrew Breitbart's Big Peace...........

The New York Times recently reported that June was the deadliest month in 3 years for U.S. troops fighting in Iraq. (To the families of those who were lost, I can never express to you the pride I take in fact that they gave their lives for this country.)

Ironically, it appears Michelle Obama, First Lady of the U.S., wasn’t even aware we still had troops in Iraq. I make this point based on a speech she gave at fundraiser in California a few weeks ago wherein she listed reasons we should give her husband a second term, and one of the reasons was “the withdrawal of troops from overseas.” (Again, I am treading lightly here because I would never want to seem to be making light of a soldier’s sacrifice; and especially a soldier’s death in combat. But it is simply asinine that this woman – speaking during the month of June 2011 – was bragging about how her husband had supposedly brought the troops home from overseas, all the while June 2011 was shaping up to be the deadliest month for our troops overseas [in Iraq] since 2008.).
