Interesting comparisson for July 4

Click here to read the text of the origional Declaration of Independence.

Now read what this cartoonist came up with here. It's scarily close.

I'm not sure the founders would stand for what we do today. Food for thought.

From the "Irony can be pretty ironic" department

"I am again left to marvel how somebody can rise to a fairly prominent media position with no discernible insight or talent, save for an apparent ability to mix up a vast bowl of word salad very quickly."

-Keith Olbermann

Inspiring

"A young Iraqi girl asked for her finger to be inked even though she was too young to vote in this Iraq election. Iraqis voted in Sunday's election as insurgents killed 38 people across the country, unleashing a barrage of mortars intent on disrupting the historic day."

Beautiful.

Jesus! Give it a rest!

Bambi can't even speak to a classroom full of sixth graders without a full podium and teleprompter set up, yet the usual idiots are going nuts because Sarah Palin jotted a few notes on her hand before a speech. Great motherfucking Christ, could you get any more pathetic? The left is a joke.

History lesson

...By the mid-1980s, the situation in the Colonies had become, from the Americans point of view, intolerable. The founding fathers gathered together, and sent a stern video missive to King George III, clearly stating their dissatisfaction with the status quo. What followed was, of course, the Revolutionary War, culminating in the founding of the United States of America, free forever of England's yoke. For the first time, that video has now been made public.

"We're Americans, that's what we do"

I couldn't have said it better myself. This entry is going to be sparse on comment because I am not able to comment any further than the reality of the corpsman in the video. America stands for something, something wonderful, and our young men and women live that every day, and they put it on the line and in the news for all to see. Watch the video. I have not the ability to enhance reality, and I will not try. Watch the video.

Breaking video from the White House as Brown looks poised for victory in Ma.
