Someone with artistic talent should take that cartoon and modify it into one of the FReeper "pajamahadeen" (credit to FReeper Steven W for that hillarious term) shoving her (or his) foot up John Kerry's bunny-suited butt.

What a terrible but important day in our history.
I wish some of the liberals who spew hatred and division would reflect on the Civil War and what happens when we become a house divided against itself.
Pinging a new FReeper FRiend to this great thread to check it out.

Don't forget to catch a ghost for Samwise Jr. We tried, but no luck.
The next time we're there, we're gonna stay at the Farnsworth House. Booooooo!
I love the "pajama people" label. :^)
I hope it never gets that bad again. I confess to muttering that we should just divide the country and let the loonies have half.
Today's classic warship, USS Casper (PF-12)
Tacoma class patrol frigate
Displacement. 1,264
Lenght. 303'11"
Beam. 37'8"
Draft. 13'8"
Speed. 20 k.
Complement. 190
Armament. 3 3"; 2 40mm; 9 20mm; 1 hedgehog; 8 Y-gun depth charge projectors; 2 depth charge racks
USS Casper (PF-12) was launched 27 December 1943 by Kaiser Cargo Co., Richmond, Calif., under a Maritime Commission contract; sponsored by Mrs. E. J. Spaulding; commissioned 31 March 1944, Lieutenant Commander F. J. Scheiber, USCG, in command; and reported to the Western Sea Frontier.
Casper sailed from San Francisco 30 September 1944 for a weather patrol out of Seattle returning to San Francisco 6 November. From this base, she operated as plane guard, and on weather patrol, performing these vital functions between the mainland and Pearl Harbor. During the organizing conference of the United Nations at San Francisco, which began 25 April 1945, Casper made two security patrols off the Farallon Islands.
Casper cleared San Francisco 4 April 1946 for Charleston, S.C., where she was decommissioned 16 May 1946. The patrol escort was sold for scrap 20 May 1947.
Afternoon Feather. Been gone all day sightseeing.
Snippy and I just got back from Antietam Battlefield.
It rained on and off all day. The Cornfield and Bloody Lane were awe inspiring. We walked the lenght of Bloody Lane and just thinking of the numbers of men who fought and died there boggles the mind. Very somber experience. We stood on both sides of Burnside bridge and it's easy to see how the Georgians could hold off attacks all afternoon. Great defensive postion. Looking at it from the Union side makes you wonder how men could keep charging across that bridge and up the ridge. Just unbelievable!
Well worth the visit even though we brought back a lot of Maryland rain in our clothes.
LOL, Samwise
Present!
I haven't seen a Cardinal in Oregon. :-(
They only had one T-shirt that said "Sharpsburg" on it all the others said "Antietam". :-(
Free Dixie!
Just got back from the battlefield, you're thoughts are right on the money. Just walking over some of the 12 square miles of battlefield makes you feel like you're standing on some special hallowed ground. Bloody Lane is especially sobering. It's hard to put into words the feeling you get looking at the fields of fire the defenders had and the courage it took for the attackers to cross them.
Thanks for keeping an eye on the Foxhole for Snippy and I on Day 2 of Snippy's and Sam's excellent adventure.
LOL! I remember some of those jokes. ;-)
LOL! So you haven't eaten since the Republican Convention?
Visiting a place like Sharpsburg, you can understand how some cultures and some people believe in spirits. Joshua Chamberlain was right. Something does stay in places like that.
You're right, it was a rainy and foggy day today and Snippy made the comment that you could almost hear the sounds of the men this day in 1862.
LOL! Kerry does do a pretty sloppy salute, doesn't he?
One of the guides at Antietam was lamenting how history isn't being taught and when it is it's been "PCed" so it fits today's Liberal agenda. We couldn't agree with him more.
Hi Jen! Thanks. ;-)
