My views on politics, life, death, the army, and other things too miscellaneous to mention here. This is a personal blog. This blog is 100% factual.

"There are some myths and untruths surrounding the role God plays in our daily lives. To say that religion and politics do not mix, is certainly a myth, unless you ask a liberal. Anything that affects a Christian (and voting is one of them) — enters into the religious realm. Trying to separate the two is like trying to separate oil from a glass of water, it's impossible to do. "

Strange Things In Washington That Nobody Really Picked Up On
One of the interesting things about blogging for a couple of years is that, if you post continuously for awhile, and then stop every once in awhile, for some reason, you will still get any number of historically minded hits for why Dick Gephardt was being attacked by Rush Limbaugh a couple of years ago. I have no idea why anybody would care about that now, since Gephardt's now long gone, but Google tells me otherwise.
Maybe I should rename this blog, "Blog O' History" and be done with it.
Anyway, it looks like this piece in the Metro section last Friday, in which torch burner Harry Bonilla wanted to rename 16th St. NW "Ronald Reagan Blvd." -got totally missed in the blogosphere. Shocked, seriously. I mean, given half the landmarks in the Nation's capitol have already been memorialized on behalf of our greatest President, I expected a little bit more chutzpah from our leadership. I would've just gone ahead and propsed to rename Pennslyvania Avenue after the Great Communicator, so that "1600 Pennslyvania Ave." would simply be known as "The House That Reagan Built, On the Boulevard That Happens to Be Named After The Greatest President That Hath Ever Liveth, Or Else Shall Ever Liveth, That Pisseth Inst Holy Denouement Uponst The Sixteenth Street Northwest Of Our Pathetic Nation's Capitol..."
Is this going too far? Rep. Tom Davis (R) thinks so, but fuck him. I certainly hope this isn't going to far for our Congressmen... God speed, Mr. Bonilla, God Speed!
