Buried WWII-Era Spitfire Planes to Be Uncovered, http://fxn.ws/J4Dq3y This will be exceedingly cool if they can pull it off. Share on Facebook This may be the single dumbest thing I have ever seen or read… and I saw part of Fahrenheit 9/11: Today we learn that the European Union (our real ruler) is opening a £44m museum that will be a House of European History. This vanity project in and of itself is an offensive waste of [...] Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day — it becomes even more important as time goes on… This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music written in the last century… by Henryk Gorecki Share on Facebook Dick Clark, longtime host of American Bandstand and television producer has died of a heart attack. Dick Clark, the music industry maverick, longtime TV host and powerhouse producer who changed the way we listened to pop music with “American Bandstand,” and whose trademark “Rockin’ Eve” became a fixture of New Year’s celebrations, died today [...] Folks have asked me since I retired from the Army if I miss it. The answer is I miss certain things. Things like this… From the The Wall Street Journal comes this: WASHINGTON—In a Pentagon hallway hung an austere portrait of a Navy man lost at sea in 1908, with his brass buttons, blue-knit [...] Tennis used to be a great sport to watch on TV before it became a series of 140 mph blasts with 3 shot rallies. No one did it better than NBC sports with Dick Enberg and Bud Collins calling Wimbledon and it rarely got better than the 1980 Wimbledon Mens Finals between Bjorn Borg [...] Mark Steyn has a great column today up at NRO called “Exodus”: As far as the media were concerned, the murder of Jewish schoolchildren in Toulouse and a black teenager in Florida were the same story — literally: Angry white male opens fire on “the other,” his deeply ingrained racism inflamed by the tide of [...] Ingrates exist everywhere, that’s for sure. Far too many people, regardless of color, fail to comprehend history’s lessons (thanks, US education over the last 25-some years for failing to adequately teach history and critical thought). Many more choose to ignore history and/or facts (thanks, “victim mentality” hustlers). Breaths of semi-fresh air still exist, though, [...] No really: Dmitry Rybolovlev, the Russian fertilizer tycoon who in February bought the most expensive apartment ever sold in New York City — the $88 million penthouse at 15 Central Park West — may have done a lot for real estate values there. But here in this old mining city in the Ural Mountains, [...] I don’t claim to be a golf fan, but for some reason I had tuned in that day (4/13/1986) on the buzz (and the lack of a good baseball game on the tube) — and thank God I did. This is Jack Nicklaus walking to the 18th green at Augusta about to win his [...] On the 100th anniversary of the Titanic’s launch, the latest from the parody mind of Ryan Hopak and the Happy Chinchillas (featuring Dana Shaw) … Bonus classic clip from Ryan and the Chinchillas (featuring Timothy Mank and yours truly on the conch shell) below the fold. Share on [...] Dec. 28, 1975…. Roger Staubach to Drew Pearson — THE Haily Mary (Staubach coined the term). Not being around for my grandparents’ marriage, his liberation from POW camp in WW2, the births of my aunt and Mom — this was the happiest I ever saw my Papaw in the 16 years I was blessed [...] Who? You might ask, is Jim Marshall. Jim Marshall is responsible for the loudest music in human history. He has passed away at age 88. Jim’s ascent into the history books as ‘the Father of Loud’ and the man responsible for ‘the Sound of Rock’ is a true rags-to-riches tale. Cruelly robbed of his [...] Rick Perry designated 29 March, 2012 as Vietnam Veterans Recognition Day in the state of Texas. See the declaration HERE It reads like this: It has been said many times before, but is as true today as ever: Freedom is not free. Many have courageously faced great dangers and sacrificed much to oppose our nation’s [...] F’n idiots at MTV trying to explain how the voting age got changed in 1971 to 18. This is wrong in sooooo many ways. I particularly “enjoy” the Grim Reaper driving a tank/meat grinder that spits out flag draped coffins…f’n disrespectful idiots H/T BlackFive Got these stats from This Ain’t Hell Let’s get some [...] Coolness…from Space.Com When NASA’s mighty Saturn V rocket launched the historic Apollo 11 mission to land the first men on the moon in 1969, the five powerful engines that powered the booster’s first stage dropped into the Atlantic Ocean and were lost forever. Lost, that is, until now. A private expedition financed by Amazon.com [...] While surfing the INTERNET I found this report done by CBS News in 1965. It’s a fairly straight up report. Something I could never imagine seeing done today by any network, much less CBS. Highly recommended to anyone interested in military history. Share on Facebook |
