Thanks and prayers go out not just to those throughout the years who have served and fought and died on the front lines for the cause of freedom, but to their families and loved back home who have and who still struggle every day without the care and companionship of a loved one. You have my highest respect and appreciation for everything you have done, do, and will continue to do in the future.

Prayers for the dead and the survivors of Typhoon Haiyan. What an incredible storm. They say one of the islands was hit with a 20-ft. storm surge. I don’t care who you are or what you do, you’re not going to survive a 20 ft. storm surge. The Filipinos will be needing every dollar you can assist with.

I know the Red Sox story is starting to fade to black but this post at Surviving Grady brings back some cool memories. Personally, for me, it was how they bounced back after that crazy runner inteference call in Game 3. Showed me the team had some mettle.

You can call me whatever you want, but reading this post at Power Line blog only reinforces my belief that the colonial powers should never have left Africa. You can say whar you want about the brutality of the British, French, and Germans all you wish, but they would have never allowed for the mass murder and chaos that has existed on that continent since the European powers left. As a continent Africa is lost.

…but no fear, not all is lost in the world. ABBA is considering reuniting for the 40th anniversary of thir first hit, “Waterloo”. I always digged that tune, put then again, I’ve always been a sucker for the kind of hook-laden confectionary you just don’t hear any more. Viva ABBA!
