All politics aside, as a history lover, I enjoyed Washington DC and all of Virginia visiting the President's homes and historical sites. Not enough time to get to all the places, but a couple of highlights were: 1) all the Monuments in DC, especially Jefferson's Memorial...2) Old Ebbetts Grill recommended to me by a fellow freeper is the BEST for its chicken and atmosphere! (1 block from the WH just north of the Washington Hotel) Also McCarthur's memorial in Norfolk, VA is a MUST for any person who values our military past, present and future! What a great American he was.

A Marine Humvee drives through Fallujah, Iraq, on Monday.

There was a dearth of illegal immigrants protesting on the streets of Fallujah yesterday, but that news was underreported by the MSM according to certain critics.

Me, Me Me. Am I considered to be a critic of the media yet?

Spc. Joe Sommer, 20, of Lawrenceville, Ga., assigned to Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, looks through binoculars from his machine gun position in a window at an observation post called OP Hotel in Ramadi, Iraq, on Saturday.

The OP Hotel? I once stayed in the OP Hotel in Mayberry and the view sucked there too!

Spc. Kimberlin Devin of the 1st Battalion, 106th Aviation Regiment, Illinois Army National Guard, fuels a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter in preparation for a mission during Exercise New Horizons in El Salvador on Tuesday.

Black Hawk, Down on fuel?

Gen. William R. Looney III, commander of Air Education and Training Command, and his wife Marilyn ride down the San Antonio River during the Texas Cavaliers River Parade in San Antonio, Texas, on April 24. The parade is part of the city's Fiesta, a 10-day celebration to honor the memory of the heroes of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836.

Hmmm, A General Looney and the MSM has not introduced us before. I wonder why.

Former commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, Lt General Ricardo Sanchez in Baghdad, September 18, 2003. Sanchez, commander in Iraq during the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal, urged U.S. forces to 'go to the outer limits' to extract information from prisoners, according to a U.S. officer cited in a military document.

How come we never read about the press subjective reporting scandals in the main stream media? Oh, that was a rhetorical no brainer. Never mind.

An undated view of a National Geographic survey on geographic literacy. Most American young people can't find Iraq on a map, even though U.S. troops have been there for more than three years, according to a National Geographic study released on Tuesday.

Isn't that funny? Most American so called journalists stationed in Baghdad can't seem to find their way out of the protection of the Green Zone provided by our Troops whom they daily disrespect with their BS reports.

Heed The Warning

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ: 1 Cor. 10:1,5-11

These things . . . were written for our admonition. —1 Corinthians 10:11

In the months following the devastating Asian tsunami of December 2004, an amazing story of survival emerged from Simeulue Island, the closest inhabited land to the epicenter of the earthquake.

A news report said that only 7 of the remote Indonesian island’s 75,000 inhabitants died when 30-foot waves struck just half an hour after the quake. For decades, the people had heard stories told by their grandparents of giant waves that killed thousands on this same island in 1907. So when the ground shook and the sea retreated from the shore, the people recalled their grandparents’ warnings and fled to high ground.

First Corinthians 10 describes a spiritual disaster we can avoid. After the people of Israel were delivered from slavery in Egypt, they continued to turn away from the Lord. Recounting their recurring self-indulgence and its disastrous results, Paul wrote: “Now these things became our examples . . . . And they were written for our admonition” (vv.6,11). The story of their failure has been preserved so we can avoid the same disaster of disobedience.

If there are warning signs in our lives today, it’s time to run from self-destructive sin to the high ground of God’s forgiving grace. —David C. McCasland

The Bible is filled with example and teaching
On how to avoid all the pitfalls of sin;
And if we will learn from its people and precepts,
The struggles and battles of life we can win. —Hess

A warning heeded is a disaster avoided.

Favorite city to visit??? This is a toughie because I don't like cities. Hmmmm. My favorite vacation site is a deserted beach in the South Pacific with clear water and abundant coral.

So, if you drag me into a city.... how about Denpasar in Bali. I know, I know, Indonesia, bombings et al, BUT Denpasar isn't far from the beach and there I'm happy.
