political

I’ve been pondering lately why Facebook does some of the stuff that it does with it’s suggestions.  I typically ignore most of the page suggestions but this one caught my eye.  I’ve said time and time again that this is not a political blog nor will it ever be.  But I would like to ask one question:

What in the hell does Sarah Palin have to do with Chick-fil-A?  And why in the hell would people who like Chick-fil-A like her?

OK fine… that was two questions.  Apparently there’s some link there that I’m not aware of.  I better go get some coffee

I’m looking for someone out there on the Intrawebs to help me out.  406 is typically apolitical blog and I intend on keeping it that way.  I’m actually just looking for some help.  Could someone please give me the context to this picture:

Here’s how it was presented to me (via email).  Apparently I’m looking at our Commander in Chief purposefully NOT saluting the American flag during recent Fort Hood memorial services.  I can only assume that I’m not being given the entire story because I simply cannot believe that President Obama would not show his respect.

That said… President Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize this morning.  All politics aside, I’ve got to say… what… the… FUCK???  First off, I was under the impression that this award was given to an individual who made great… Continue reading

Today is the Tuesday after the long Memorial Day weekend.  For my money there’s nothing better than a long holiday weekend when the weather is nice.  Here’s a couple of observations from ol Chewie:

  1. People don’t recognize the importance of Memorial Day nearly often enough.  One day per year is not often enough to thank the men and women who’ve died defending this country.  Each and every time I see someone in uniform I attempt to stop and shake their hand and say “Thanks”.  My boys are being taught to do this too.  It’s very important to me.  One quote… Continue reading
