Twins comeback

My wife and I were watching the Twins play the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night and I was ready to turn it off. Just wait my wife said as the ninth inning started and the Twins were down 8-3. I was ready to go to sleep and she said "Lets just watch the end, you never know." Well, the twins went on to score five runs in the ninth, three on a Craig Monroe home run with 2 outs to tie. Then in the tenth, Justin Morneau hits the game winning solo homer. What a fininsh and what a call my my wife.

Free Ride for Obama

It seems to me that Barack Obama gets a free ride from the press. He has had so many gaffes and "mis speaks" that he would have been rolled right out of the race if he was a Republican. As a sidebar, if his wife is out stumping for him, she is fair game for scrutiny. He has said so many thing and has so many associations with shady characters that he scares me a lot. From saying that people are punished with babies to the quips about his uncle that liberated Auschwitz. Uh, the Russians did that one. I just saw that line and he is lying like a rug. I think that his lack of historical knowledge and pattern of ignorant foreign policy statements then retractions should put a huge dark cloud over him as a possible president. I have not even got to his plans for the USA yet. That would take me forever, but lets just say that we are soon going to be the UN of A.

Memorial Day

I was out of town last weekend, the Memorial Day weekend, I was lost in thought for a while as I contemplated the sacrifice that our service men and women give. My grandfather is a WWII vet and my father is a Viet Nam vet. I was "unfit" for military service because of asthma, so I was not able to serve although I did enlist in the Marine Corps. I can not imagine what was going through my father and grandfather's heads when they were enlisting for the army during wartime.
I want to send out a very heartfelt thank you to all of the men and women serving in our armed forces, police, border patrol, firefighters, even the ambulance workers. Thank you for all that you do to give us the freedom, security, and safety that we too often take for granted.
Thank you!!!!
