    Turns-out taxation WITH representation isn't good, either.
    The problem with the financial crisis is....
    none of the people working on it have a financial crisis.

    If they were relly representing us they wouldn't be considering cap and trade and the bailouts wouldn't have happened.
    Well now WAIT just a dern minute!....

    I think we are sort of glad that you failed us, and I also think we are even happier that after all the history - England has proven to be our strongest allie.

    So I don't see it as a failure but a success for both sides and that's how all "conflict" of the past should be. Cheer up Binky - we don't celebrate the Queen's birthday either but we usually see the celebrations and enjoy them none the same. I think the US and England will always pretty much "sisters". Seems like a bond that is unbreakable to me. I'm real glad about that!
    In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.

    I'd love to but my camera is dead and I apparently packed the wrong charger. Friends will take photos though, and I will share those. I will see if I can snatch a few from Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery.

    All great religions, in order to escape absurdity, have to admit a dilution of agnosticism. It is only the savage, whether of the African bush or the American gospel tent, who pretends to know the will and intent of God exactly and completely.

    I've found some of my favorites from a friend's album that we took. Hopefully this doesn't lag the page too much.

    After looking at those pictures and reading the sign, including the picture blocks with the slash through them, I conclude the sign to say: "On this beach nothing happened and nothing ever will."

    I guess I don't follow that one.
