2. That was my guess, too. My wife thought he >
must have been suffering from something more significant to get that gig. Pretty awful.

7. Make a Wish?
We were all talking about that. Something going on there. Meanwhile the girl who sang the anthem at the STeelers/Pats game was pretty fantastic. At first I was like..."Jeez another dying kid?"

I know pretty awfull of me.

1. What national anthem ?
Whose ?

I do have issues with using an almost unsingable Scottish drinking song as its melody. With our current jingoistic mind set I would suggest Columbia, The Gem of the Ocean instead... or Gary Owen.

5. I would love it to be Battle Hymn of the Republic
Might remind all those treason-hearted red-state-to-the-core folks who fly confederate flags what happened last time they tried to take over.

6. I like that idea.
Today - In spite of my Confederate veteran ancestors, I would have gone over to the Union side.

How about starting with a blockade ? Looking at the map, all those coastal states are RED. Where is David Faragut's Western Gulf Blockading Squadron when we need it ?

Down with treason and the succionist copperheads !!

8. "He's unleashed the fateful fury of His terrible swift sword"
I like that one too.
