See you next year!

To all my friends and family who make me appreciate how lucky I am today,
thank you.

As I celebrate the fact that we are here together, in good health, still
getting that direct deposit every two weeks please know you are one of the
reasons waking up every day makes life a pleasure.

Lynn, my darling…it’s because of you that I can even
stand here and say that at all.  You made me remember that I have so much
to be thankful for (like my wonderful children that I am so proud of
that there aren’t real word to express myself).

Several of our friends have left us this year. Some have gone onto better
places (living and otherwise); several are living the good life retired or in
better jobs.

Many blessings have been granted to us in the form of friends, family, grand
children, spouses. Even people who drive us crazy are to be recognized because
they make us appreciate being alive.

Many of our friends in the South have seen high water, hurricanes, and fires
that have left them praying that 2006 will help them heal through their life
experiences. Young men and women have volunteered to be in places like Iraq –
making the ultimate sacrifice for us.

Celebrate all your blessings and praise God that you have so much:

  • If you woke up this morning with more health than illness…you are more
    blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
  • If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of
    imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead
    of 500 million people in the world.
  • If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest,
    torture, or death…you are more blessed than three billion people in the
    world.
  • If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof
    overhead and a place to sleep…you are richer than 75% of this world.
  • If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish
    someplace … you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.
  • If your parents are still alive and still married … you are very rare,
    even in the United States and Canada.
  • If you can read this message, you are luckier than over two billion people
    in the world that cannot read at all!

So thanks everyone for making me laugh, cry, and occasionally say a dirty
word (OK…the occasionally is stretching it a bit, I know) and most of
all looking forward to knowing I can count on seeing you here or in a better
place.

Happy New Year.

Merry Chrismahanukwanzakah!

Well December is upon us, along with everything associated with it. Thank GOD
that I’m not frantically shopping like so many others. I went to Wal-Mart
yesterday for Cat litter and DAMN!  What a madhouse…if we need
something, I’m just going to grab my knife and hunt for it like my ancestors did.

As we chew through this new multi-cultural holiday season (something I’ve become
thrilled about <dripping with sarcasm>) I have a few questions:

  • What sort of booze is
    appropriate for Christmas?
  • What sort of hors d’oeuvres should one serve for
    Hanukkah?
  • What’s the status of New Year’s Eve (is it still one holiday minus
    the Chinese)?
  • Can we have a Solstice
    feast?
  • What about Kwanzaa?

Indeed…What about Kwanzaa?!?

I mean…first it started out with Chanukah vs. Christmas, then when certain
"Blacks" (and believe you me when I say that this brother was
NOT one of them) felt either left out or needed
some type of validity in their lives…POW…Kwanzaa.

What’s next on the liberal politically correct "satisfy everyone" agenda?
Losnavidad for Hispanics?
Shiatsumas for
Asians? Give me a break already!

And where is Yule in all this?!? It’s because of those damn pagan’s that we’re in this mess in the
first place, right?!?!?!?!

For Pete’s sake….everybody has a special HOLIDAY that’s important to them. For
a few religions that happens to be around the same timeframe….SO WHAT?!?!? Why is it necessary to create new nonsensical holidays?

Well I’ve decided NOT to say Happy Holidays like most stores and PC’Ofites’….I,
like the Virgin Mobile people, say Merry Chrismahanukwanzakah!

Or for you more "agnostic’ types….A Festivus for the rest of us!

A Letter of Apology from Lt. General Chuck Pitman, US Marine Corps (Ret.)

For good and ill, the Iraqi prisoner abuse mess will remain an issue. On the
one hand, right thinking Americans will harbor the stupidity of the actions
while on the other hand, political glee will take control and fashion this minor
event into some modern day massacre.

I humbly offer my opinion here:

  • I am sorry that the last seven times we Americans took up arms and
    sacrificed the blood of our youth, it was in the defense of Muslims (Bosnia,
    Kosovo, Gulf War 1, Kuwait, etc.).
  • I am sorry that no such call for an apology upon the extremists came after
    9/11.
  • I am sorry that all of the murderers on 9/11 were Islamic Arabs.
  • I am sorry that most Arabs and Muslims have to live in squalor under
    savage dictatorships.
  • I am sorry that their leaders squander their wealth.
  • I am sorry that their governments breed hate for the US in their religious
    schools, mosques, and government-controlled media.
  • I am sorry that Yasser Arafat was kicked out of every Arab country and
    high-jacked the Palestinian "cause."
  • I am sorry that no other Arab country will take in or offer more than a
    token amount of financial help to those same Palestinians.
  • I am sorry that the USA has to step in and be the biggest financial
    supporter of poverty stricken Arabs while the insanely wealthy Arabs blame the
    USA for all their problems.
  • I am sorry that our own left wing, our media, and our own brainwashed
    masses do not understand any of this (from the misleading vocal elements of
    our society, like radical professors, CNN and the NY TIMES).
  • I am sorry the United Nations scammed the poor people of Iraq out of the
    "food for oil" money so they could get rich while the common folk suffered.
  • I am sorry that some Arab governments pay the families of homicide bombers
    upon their death.
  • I am sorry that those same bombers are brainwashed thinking they will
    receive 72 virgins in "paradise."
  • I am sorry that the homicide bombers think pregnant women, babies,
    children, the elderly and other non-combatant civilians are legitimate
    targets.
  • I am sorry that our troops die to free more Arabs from the gang rape rooms
    and the filling of mass graves of dissidents of their own making.
  • I am sorry that Muslim extremists have killed more Arabs than any other
    group.
  • I am sorry that foreign trained terrorists are trying to seize control of
    Iraq and return it to a terrorist state.
  • I am sorry we don’t drop a few dozen Daisy cutters on Fallujah.
  • I am sorry every time terrorists hide they find a convenient "Holy Site."
  • I am sorry they didn’t apologize for driving a jet into the World Trade
    Center that collapsed and severely damaged Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox
    Church — one of our Holy Sites.
  • I am sorry they didn’t apologize for flight 93 and 175, the USS Cole, the
    embassy bombings, the murders and beheadings of Nick Berg and Daniel Pearl,
    etc…etc!
  • I am sorry Michael Moore is American; he could feed a medium sized village
    in Africa.

America will get past this latest absurdity. We will punish those responsible
because that is what we do.

We hang out our dirty laundry for the entire world to see. We move on. That’s
one of the reasons we are hated so much. We don’t hide this stuff like all those
Arab countries that are now demanding an apology.

Deep down inside, when most Americans saw this reported in the news, we were
like–so what? We lost hundreds and made fun of a few prisoners. Sure, it was
wrong! Sure, it dramatically hurts our cause, but until captured, we were trying
to kill those same prisoners. Now we’re supposed to wring our hands because a
few were humiliated?

Our compassion is tempered with the vivid memories of our own people killed,
mutilated and burned among a joyous crowd of celebrating Fallujahans.

If you want an apology from this American, you’re going to have a long wait!

You have a better chance of finding those seventy-two virgins!
