This just a short 11 second video of my New Betsy Ross Flag flying out in front of my house on FLAG DAY : Sunday, June 14th, 2009.

This is a FIVE minute clip from one of my favorite episodes of one of my favorite TV Series: NBC's "West Wing". === In this clip, the "Dynamic Duo of Magic", Penn & Teller, BURN an American FLAG at a birthday party for the President's youngest daughter, Zoe. === The clip is actually in two parts: The horrifying deed and (after an excised commercial break) the political "aftermath" that sometimes follows such displays of Patriotism !!! === [ NOTE : No Constitutional Amendments were abridged or broken during the filming of this episode! ]

"Reveille" is a GREAT Veterans' Video! It shows some Veteran's style inter-service "One-Upsmanship". This video is poignant & funny and should appeal to ANY Veteran, regardless of which branch of the military they served in. GO NAVY !

"Waist Deep In The Big Muddy" is an Anti-War "protest" song written by the legendary Pete Seeger in 1963. It is an "Anti-War" protest song that is now over 40 years old. Given the Bush Administration's "Stay The Course, No Matter How Bad It Gets" philosophy about the War In IRAQ, this song is as relevant now as was 40 years ago. When you watch and listen to this video, you'll soon be able to easily draw the parallel between the Bush-league statement, "STAY THE COURSE", and the song's refrain, "And THE BIG FOOL SAYS TO PUSH ON". 1967 = "Troop Escalation" 2007 = "Troop Surge" I believe this video performance is from 1968 on the "Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour". Pete was to originally have performed it on the same show a year earlier, in 1967, but the CBS "suits" (and censors) prevented it. Apparently, in 1967 they (CBS) were afraid that the song might offend "The Big Fool" in the White House, Lyndon B. Johnson. But by 1968 the political times they were a-changing: The Tet Offensive, Election Year Politics, The assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, and Anti-War protest rallies in cities throughout the land. But..... That was then, and this is now. In March, 2003, we preemptively invaded Iraq for no discernable reason. So..... March, 2003, we were "Ankle-Deep in the Big Muddy". "And the Big Fool said to PUSH ON"! March, 2004: We were "Knee-Deep in the Big Muddy". "And the Big Fool said to PUSH ON"! March, 2005: we were "Waist-Deep in the Big Muddy". "And the Big Fool said to PUSH ON"! March, 2006: We were "Armpit Deep in the Big Muddy". "And the Big Fool said to PUSH ON"! March, 2007: We ARE Neck-Deep in the Big Muddy". "And the Big Fool STILL says to PUSH ON"!
