No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

The Longest Day

by @ 15:20. Filed under History.

D-Day, 1944. I can’t do it better than President Ronald Reagan from the 40th anniversary of D-Day (thanks for the audio, Patrick) or President Franklin Delano Roosevelt from that day 63 years ago (H/T – Charlie and audio courtesy Earthstation1.com), so I’ll leave the words to them.

They truly were a great generation.

Revisions/extensions (3:29 and again 3:40 pm 6/6/2007) – I decided to do a massive rewrite after checking Sykes Writes and finding FDR’s prayer to the nation from the longest day. I’ve also moved the FDR prayer on-site to make it easier to listen to.

Difference between conservatives and liberals in 45 seconds

I know I already did this on Sunday, but it got buried as part of my Dem debate liveblog. Supposedly YouTube will eventually be converting their format, so (hopefully) I’ll be able to listen to embedded videos, but in the interim, mash here and fast-forward to 5:01 of the YouTube/John Edwards interview (or if you want to hear Breck Girl express some shock at the YouTuber calling the segment “shotgun”, 4:45). I’ll repeat my quick summary of the shotgun round of “right or privilege” –

College education – “Right.” Health care – “Right.” A livable wage – right. Owning a handgun – (pause) “Privilege.” American citizenship for someone not born here but worked here one year – “That’s a hard one because I think people have to earn citizenship… Has to be longer than 1 year…. Privilege” 5 years? – “Right.” Access to the internet – “Right.”

Others unburying it…
