"True Story reported by the Washington Post...(as retold by my ol' man, a 30-year ex-active-service Naval Officer):

This is a small, but true story to give you an idea of the kind of man and the kind of woman we have in the White House right now. As you may know, the President and Mrs. Bush visited the Washington Burn Center on Friday 14 September [2001]. Among those they visited was Lt. Col. Brian Birdwell, who was badly burned in the Pentagon attack.

Mrs. Bush went into Brian's room, spoke to him for about a minute, all the time as if they had been life-long acquaintances. She then turned to Brian's wife, Mel, who at this time had been at the hospital for probably 2 1/2 days, and apparently, according to Mel herself, was dirty, grimy and had blood on her shirt. As if Mel were one of her closest family members. Mrs. Bush then told Brian and Mel that there was "someone" there to see him. The President then walked in, stood by Brian's bedside, asked Brian how he was doing, told him that he was very proud of them both and that they were his heroes.

The President then saluted Brian. Now, at this point in time, Brian is bandaged up pretty well. His hands are burned very badly as well as the back of him from the head down. His movements were very restricted. Upon seeing the President saluting him, Brian began to slowly return the salute, taking, from the accounts so far, about 15-20 seconds to get his hand up to his head. During all of this, 15-20 seconds, President Bush never moved, never dropped his salute. The President dropped his salute only when Brian was finished with his, and then gave Mel a huge hug for what also probably seemed like an eternity.

No further comments. Pray for our leadership. Thank God for what we are, have, and will be.

As a note to those of you who might not be familiar with military protocol, the subordinate normally initiates a salute and will hold it until the superior officer returns the salute. In the above incident, President Bush acted in the role of the subordinate to show his respect and high regard for the injured man."

"Slick Willie's Final Scene"
(To be sung to Bob Seger's "The Famous Final Scene")

Watch the Leftist's bridges burn...
Yes, Bill's TREASON, it must end!!!
Politicians rise and fall...
Clinton's spies shall fall, my FRiends!!
Ev'ry fool must face his End...
Like the Prez'dent and DemWhores!!
Lib'rals, no it's not a dream...
Folks, MUD's viewpoint's not extreme...
It's Slick Willie's Final Scene!

[To Slick Willie hisse'f]
Slick, how you tried to make it work...
Did you really think it could?
How you LIED to make it last...
Did you really think it would?
DemocRATS, Left's stayed too long...
Now it's finally time Slick bleeds.
Boy, it's finally time you leave!
BOYYYY, you know just what I mean...
It's Slick's RE-Impeachment Scene!!

Right's been on your case so lo-o-ong...
Lib'rals put on quite a sho-o-ow.
Their Socialist Values are reviled...
Right-Wing knew that long ago!
Now the Medyuh's all upset...
And Slick's lies are getting old...
Next election'll soon be here...
And Slick's Adversaries VO-O-OTE!!!

Nixon's ghost has been revived...
And Slick knows it in his heart!!
Next, the polls fall through the floor.
When Bill's gone, the healing starts.
As Slick Willie hits the road,
Bill looks different...looks deranged...
Flying from his gilded cage!
Now the Right takes center screen...
It's the Lib'ral's Final Scene!!!
