McCain Slams LA Times for Double Standard in Withholding Obama-Khalidi Tape
Just when John McCain is making headway in the polls and Obama is being exposed for his real economic plan comes an elusive video tape. If this tape gets released John McCain better hope it has some pretty incriminating and damning footage on it. If it doesn't I fear it is only serving as a distraction from a narrrative that appeared to be working in McCains favor. I would like to see the video if only out of a personal curiosity. I have already made up my mind on Obama, but many Americans need to be shown and not told. But on the other hand, if the tape turns out to be nothing special, it could backfire on McCain and just make him look bad. Again, while I am curious, with 5 days left I hope McCain sticks to the important issues.
Obama effigy found on U. of Kentucky campus
In light of the furor over the Palin hanging effigy in west Hollywood I have to wonder, did anyone expect something like this not to happen? It was just a matter of time. Neither of these were appropriate, both are offensive, however only one is a hate crime. Obama being black makes his a hate crime, Palin is still being called "Art." If the Palin display makers had taken it down, even after the urging of the mayor, then maybe we would not have had the Obama effigy. Not that this isn't the first time this has happened this year. But when you set the example and give so much media attention to one election display and then it stays up after a call to have it removed, a precedent gets set. Should those responsible for the Obama effigy be charged with a hate crime? One excuse I heard for the Palin display was that since it was part of a "holiday" display it would be considered art. It would appear that those who put up the Obama effigy are not going to be so lucky being on a campus. Personally I feel that both should have never gone up and the moment eyes where laid on either they should have been taken down. As far as prosecuting for a hate crime is concerned, hopefully few people saw the Obama effigy and no one files a lawsuit. If someone does and the creators are caught then they should be held accountable. Laws need to be enforced in the end. Again it's just sad that anyone would make a display of any candidate.

Obama Affinity to Marxists Dates Back to College Days
A quick word to those who are reporting on the recent developments regarding Barack Obama and his associations: keep talking about them, but don't act like you are breaking any new ground. For crying out loud they are bringing up quotes from his book which has been out for longer than his campaign as far as I know. While I am happy that there is more scrutiny on Barack, his associations, and his now obvious Marxist leanings, this is hardly anything but new. It's probably a little too late for all of it as these allegations and guilt by association will be deemed as nothing more than scare tactics in this late hour of the election. However, there is one group that this may actually effect...that undecided voter. I will address that in the story below.
`08 reasons Barack Obama might lose next Tuesday
I figured as Obama continues his lead in all the polls I would put up some of the better "it's not too late for McCain" stories. I do feel a little better knowing that yesterdays IBD/TIPP poll had Obama +3 over McCain and Gallup had the race as Obama +2. I believe McCain still has a chance to win this despite everything that is being said. Granted, it would be the upset of the century, but who would have thought a year ago this election would have been between Obama and McCain? The one important factor very few seem to be focusing on is that undecided voter. I am fairly certain everyone knows or at least knows someone who knows someone who is undecided. I used to think that an undecided would probably default to Obama. Now I feel like there is enough negative information, including and probably most importantly the "Redistribution of Wealth" that Obama seems so much a fan of, that may be enough to take that anywhere between 6%-11% of undecided voters to go with the safer of the two and that at the moment would be John McCain. Honestly I can't believe the possibility that this election would hinge upon anyone who has yet to make a choice, but again with this election anything is possible.
Bronson is worthy of another term
These endorsements coming from the local paper are getting downright tiresome. It just seems like the papers are sitting so high on their lofty pedestals that I can't believe for a second they are really endorsing what they feel is best for the city. Maybe I have an advantage because while I don't give out and will not give out any formal endorsements I am able to say what and who I feel would best serve the city. I suppose however the paper does that as well within their articles. I know the AZ Star likes to put out their pre-election article explaining the importance of their endorsements and how it's one of their biggest community services, but I have to wonder just how many people go rushing to their paper to find out who they ended up endorsing. I certainly hope it's very few given that they rarely seem to pick any one candidate for any other reason other than they are liberal. Even the conservatives they do pick tend to be singled out as moderates. Take a look at this endorsement for Bronson. One of the best reasons they could come up with is the fact that she has already had the job. Yet Bronson seems to be the example of that "local, dark sky law, no urban sprawl promoting, lets make sure we do everything to discourage new business, liberal" that has been running things in Tucson for entirely too long. We have a chance for a GOP majority on the Pima County Supervisor Board with the election of Barney Brenner over Bronson for the first time in 12 years. In a year when we hear nothing but "we cannot afford 8 more years of GOP in control in Washington", I say we can't take another year of liberal control in Tucson.

Halloween Palin Prop Sparks Controversy
 
If you recall around a year ago we were getting a ton of stories about people who were outraged over the use of nooses in Halloween displays. In almost all of the stories, the people using the noose weren't using it in a racially motivated way - they were just using them for the horror effect of hanging a witch, or a skeleton, or some other ghoulie. Still, this was unacceptable to some people who even went so far as to involve law enforcement to force people to take down their Halloween displays. We even heard of self-professed 'witches' who cried discrimination when they saw a cauldron or a cartoon-ish witch being hung. Flash forward one year later and I could have seen this story coming a mile away. A Sarah Palin likeness hung by a noose from the roof of someone's house. Welcome to the height of hypocrisy as I seriously doubt the ALCU is going to touch this one. I am sure if the creator of this display has sense about him he will say he is not attacking Sarah Palin personally but her policies as so many on the left like to do when they are getting involved in that which they usually condemn. John McCain is also depicted rising from flames on the home owners roof; however that may just be a foreshadowing of where the homeowner expects to end up when it's his time to go.
Candidates That Have Come From Behind
Late Upsets Are Rare, but Have Happened
In the throes of the final week of this campaign and assuming that the 2001 now famous Obama "Wealth" interview isn't making a major difference in this election, click the links above for a story and video of encouragement. I still cling to the belief that "anything is possible," but we have to start facing the facts. We are getting down to hours not days until the country decides who our next leader will be. I also want to offer something else encouraging for those that may not be very optimistic about this election, life will go on. I learned a nice little life lesson today. Before I went to pick up my 6 year old from school I noticed that it was rather windy and remembered that Logan had really been wanting to go fly a kite. So thats what we did. I put the car seat in the McPalin Mobile and took of for the park. In the hour or so of just sitting on the grass of an open field watching my son fly a kite I forgot about everything and simply enjoyed a moment with a 6 year old who had no worries but keeping his kite flying. Not to sound too sentimental but, in that moment I realized isn't that what we are all doing? Just trying to keep our kites flying? I don't care who wins this election, there actually are other more important things in life.

Obama Campaign Cuts Off Interviews With Florida TV Station
I'll give credit when and where it's due and while I am pleased to see this news anchor get her 15 mins of fame by going after Joe Biden I am impressed with how he maintained his composure for the most part. If only more reporters would ask the questions that so many of us would like to know the answers to. Actually let me add something to that last statement. I already know the answers to a majority of the questions this woman asked, I was curious to see what they had to say about it. Obama and Biden both deserve to be asked these questions of Marxism and Socialism, it's fair game given what they both have said. Now, while Biden held his own and I thought it was a draw in terms of who got the better of the both of them, the Obama campaign made a mistake by canceling the remaining interviews. Why cancel the interview? Is it because you are not confident enough to answer some serious allegations? Oh, I fully understand that the Obama campaign will say they cancelled the interviews because they thought the questions and accusations were baseless and I am sure that will be enough for the left to claim, "Right wing conspiracy," but what happens when these two get in office? Are they going to be able to handle the tough questions and issues and crises?
Robb: Democrats ascendant: the dangers
I am beginning to wonder how many of the younger voters, new voters, those so inspired by Obama and told so often "Bush is Bad" realize just what could happen if we have a liberal supermajority. I would venture a guess that most of these voters would be all for it, claiming it's the GOP's fault for everything from Wall Street to 9/11 and that liberals running the show would be the best thing for the country. Most liberal friends I know don't believe this would be a good idea, although I seriously doubt they would change their Obama vote to exchange for a balanced White House and Congress. For me however, the only thing that could possibly get me to cast a vote for Obama is if you could promise me that we'd have a GOP controlled Congress. That's easy to say since there is no way this would happen, though. Looking at the big picture for these final 11 days before we vote it's time to start looking at the potential damage that a Democratic Congress combined with an Obama presidency could do. In the face of these government bailouts I am beginning to wonder if it's possible we'll see a GOP bailout. Or will the left and those lost in the wonder of Obama simply going to have to learn their lesson the hard way along with the rest of the country... If Obama wins I wonder how many will have the courage in a few years to say "Man I wish we would have picked the war vet and the moose shooter from Alaska".

Anti-GOP pizza deal draws threats, theft outcry
I think most decency and common sense has just gone out the window and the question I have is, will it return? I am sure it will and while so much of this is stuff is fairly petty, the mere fact that people would be OK with just stealing and vandalizing, let alone the fact that they are running promotions to steal is pretty absurd. I am all for people getting passionate and supportive of their candidates but that is obviously no justification for crime. Yet this type of political crime really sets the example that we have seen locally that as long as your reasoning for the crime is justified then the crime is justified. The standards have been lowered and now we are simply seeing the worst of people. It's that win at all costs attitude. Neither candidates supporters are guilt free of this of course, but it really doesn't say much when the politics in this country have turned this ugly.
$605 million already, Obama seeks only $10 more from each of us... 
McCain has just been too nice, too classy, too good a guy and it may just be his undoing. I heard recently that John McCain ever since his time in the prison camp decided that there were certain things that he just would not do and would not tolerate. This could explain his unwillingness to go after Obama on Rev Wright. This may also be why he trusted Obama to keep his word about the public campaign financing. Obama going back on his word opened the door to what now is a $605 million dollar donation windfall. Gee, I wonder if Obama will tax himself, and here I thought we were in a recession. The truth is that if John McCain loses this should come as no shock or shame for anyone who has supported him. The odds have been stacked by the millions dollars and hours of biased news coverage in support of "That One." It's to McCains credit that he has kept this election this close. It also says much about Obamas un-electability that he has not been able to extend his lead farther than he has. We have 11 days left and anything is possible.

Exploring the Unknowns
Andrew told me this morning that I had an unhealthy obsession for an "October Surprise." While I certainly wouldn't classify my curiosity of a potential election game-changer that same way, I certainly think that if this election has taught us anything it's to expect everything. My curiosity is enhanced by McCain trailing in the polls and a desire for something external that could sweep McCain into the White House. Would that be fair, McCain winning off an external event? Frankly we have 12 days left and this election has been far from fair and balanced. After reading the article above it would appear all of the "unknowns" seem fairly unlikely. But then again we are talking about the known "unknowns" and I don't think we have seen the last twists of the election. In an election that gave Hillary the loss, Obama the nomination and Palin the GOP VP slot anything is possible. Rest now because come Monday I would bet we are in for a whirlwind final 7 days.
No One Actually Likes the Fairness Doctrine
Some people are worried and rightfully so that their taxes will go up under Obama. To be honest I am too and while people are also concerned about what a rise in taxes could do to the job market, how about your job in general? Thankfully I came into radio long after the "Fairness Doctrine" was removed paving the way for me to have the career I do now. The "Fairness Doctrine" as it is so eloquently explained by the Fox News host would eliminate talk radio like mine and the popular successful syndicated shows we all know. Thankfully Obama, were he to win, has said in the past he has no interest in reviving the "Fairness Doctrine", but that doesn't mean the Pelosi and friends won't try and extend their liberal control over our airwaves as well. The question is would Obama veto such an attempt? The other batch of "Unknowns" we will all be dealing with is just what an Obama Presidency means for you and me? Be sure you read the article above for one of the best explanations of why the "Fairness Doctrine" isn't fair at all.
Andrew's random video for Thursday: Things certainly are getting crazier and more heated as we wind down these last few days of the election. Seems like this thing has been going on since 2004, and in some ways I guess it has. I wish I could say that this election has brought out the good in America, but unfortunately, all too often, it's brought out little more than fear, divisiveness, and ugliness. It's important to remember that this process - the peaceful transfer of power decided by the will of the people - is one of the many things that makes our country great and unique. Whatever happens on November 4th, everyone should take solace in the fact that it will ultimately be the decision of the electorate, and that is something we should all be able to take a step back and be proud of. America is a resiliant country, and while we certainly tend to swing back and forth from liberalism to conservatism over the course of the years, we've always been able to prevent the crazies on either side from going too far and too extreme. When I saw this video, it reminded me of the many, many things that makes this country great and I personally do not believe that any no one man would ever be able to undo what so many have sacrificed to build up. Enjoy...

Poll Suggests U.S. Troops Support McCain 3-1
In spite of Obamas continued lead in the polls it is good to know that those of us who are supporting McCain are in good company. It really is starting to feel like even with the evidence that says Obama will not be a good president that this election will come down to the fact that people just can't seem to get past 8 years of Bush. I really can't see any other reason that with all we know and don't know about Obama that majority of people would elect an quasi-socialist over a war hero/veteran. I wonder just how many people are even paying attention and have just accepted Obama at face value. As I said in the beginning of this post, I am encouraged to know that some of our countries most important brave men and women are choosing McCain to be our next Commander-in-Chief. One would hope that people would think twice about Obama when so many of the people who are brave enough to put their lives on the line for our country would chose Maverick over the Messiah.
Girl called racist for wearing Palin t-shirt
This entire situation could have been avoided on all fronts if maybe these children were not so concerned about that which they cannot take part in. I make jokes about this election with my 6 year old son. This is largely due to the fact the he keeps asking me why I am watching these 2 guys on TV. But even after trying to explain this election to him I realized that it just isn't important for him now, nor should it be. Our children have plenty of time to learn about the joys of politics in the future. My father and I spent a ton of time together in my younger years and we rarely talked politics. I think I turned out OK in the end. Sadly this is just a byproduct of this heated election and everyone seems inclined to out "politicize" the other. The McPalin mobile excluded of course.

Life-size cutouts of Arpaio appearing around Tucson
  
I have to ask, what exactly are these people hoping to accomplish here? As if seeing these ridiculous cut outs is going to change anyones mind about enforcement of our immigration laws? Or is this just the latest art project from the TUSD Ethnic Studies program?
Obama Praised 'Searing and Timely' Book by Ayers
Barack Obama once gave a glowing endorsement of a book by former domestic terrorist William Ayers and was mentioned by name in the book itself.
So much for Ayers just being a guy in Obamas neighborhood. Kind of like Rezko was just a guy who sold him a house or Rev Wright was just a guy who preached every once in a while. Sadly most of America seems to want a guy who just happens to be an inexperienced Senator to be President.
Did 'Family Guy' Go Too Far With Nazi 'McCain' Pin?
I think the question should be "Has the media in general gone too far?" I have no problem with parody and poking fun at any candidate or political party. They problem is the hypocrisy that has been associated with this election. You would never have been able to get away with a similar cartoon in which, say, you had communitists and one of them had an Obama button. The outrage would have been heard around the world. The media has spun out of control in their bias towards Obama. This cartoon doesn't bother or offend me, but I am offended by the blatant hypocrisy. Truth is, in a normal election, a cartoon like this would probably be no big deal. But then again in a normal election this cartoon would have never been made. It's sad that the parody of any candidate would have to stoop to this level of baseless name calling. At least when SNL was mocking Sarah Palin they allowed to have her on to join in the fun and mock themselves in the process.
Court to decide if illegal immigrants' use of social security numbers is ID theft
The court will hopefully decide that yes, using someone's Social Security number is indeed ID theft. What else are they going to call it? I get what the problem is - if the SS number is fabricated then no actual ID theft occured. But who is going to decide that? Do we expect Illegals obtaining fake SS cards to bother asking "hey is this real a person or fake persons card?" Of course not. I don't think we should be giving those willing to commit a crime in the first place the benefit of the doubt when trying to get a fake ID. Real person or not, fabricated or not, a fake ID is a fake ID, and therefore it's ID Theft in my opinion.

McCain suggests Obama tax policies are socialist
Obama's lead slips to 3 points
While this thing is far from over and the polls are tightening, the truth is that, come Nov 4th, it's Obama's election to lose. McCain has had everything going against him - President Bush's approval ratings, the mainstream media, and now Colin Powell saying he is going to vote for Barack Obama. The talk now of the Democrats having a super majority is even more cause for concern than an Obama Presidency. Either way if Obama wins those who may not agree with much of Obama or the lefts policies better be ready for a long 4 years of using our voice to contact our elected officials when new agendas are being pushed. If Barack wins and wants to stay in office for more than 4 years he will have to move to closer to the middle than certainly he is now. But if the Dems are still in control of Congress there is still plenty of damage that can be done without making Barack look bad. But don't lose hope, we still have 15 days and look what "Joe the Plumber" did for this election.
City expects its budget shortfall to reach $51M
New projected $10M further decline to force difficult cuts, officials say. In the middle of a budget shortfall
After what we have already heard about the budget shortfalls, and now this additional bad news, imagine how shocked I was to hear that our very own City Council would spend $700.00 to try and shut me down! That's right, the Tucson City Council gave $700 to fund a meeting to discuss shutting down 'right wing hate radio!' Each council member is given a few thousand dollars they can spend at their own discretion on the community. Below is a portion of last Tuesdays Council Agenda :
A. FINANCE: COMMUNITY SUPPORT FUND TRANSFER TO DERECHOS HUMANOS FOR THEIR EVENT WITH AUTHOR RORY O’CONNOR 1. Report from City Manager OCT14-08-561 WARD 5 2. Resolution No. 21112 relating to Finance; approving and authorizing the allocation of Seven Hundred Dollars ($700) from the Ward 5 Council Office Community Support Fund, Account No. 001-183-1898-268, to Derechos Humanos’ reception/lecture with the author Rory O’Connor; and declaring an emergency. This is a request by Council Member Leal. Allocation of funds is as follows: Council Member Leal - $700.00
Who is Rory O Connor? He just happens to have written a book used by left wing groups to fight conservative talk radio. Shock Jocks: Hate Speech and Talk Radio
Shock Jocks highlights the world of talk radio that dominates America's airwaves, and shows how misogyny, racism, and utter contempt for other human beings is disguised as “free speech”
Steve Leal requested taxpayer, City Council, Ward 5 dollars to support a lecture about the "dangers" of conservative talk radio and how communities can apply pressure to suppress free speech. Not to mention that this same $700.00 was given to an organization that supported a public display of mock beating of a law enforcement officer at the July 10th Joe Arpaio book signing mere weeks after we lost Officer Erik Hite.

'Joe the Plumber' says he has no plumbing license
Would you like an example of what is wrong with modern mainstream media coverage of politics? I give you John McCains unintended October Surprise: Joe the Plumber. The problem is that the focus is on Joe the Plumber and not Barack the Socialist. Truth of the matter is that Joe the Plumber has very little to do with his own importance as it relates to his current media hype. Joe just asked a question. It's the answer to the question that should be the only focus here. "Spread the Wealth Around" is what Robin "Obama" Hood said. "I don't want to punish your success, I just want to make sure the guy behind has the same chance at that success" is what Barack the Socialist said. That should be the only concern here. The guy behind Joe has every chance to have Joes success, he just need to work as hard as Joe. But Obama needs the votes of the lazy in this country who are more than willing to take the hand out and feed off of those who actually earned their success. If Barack wins the middle class that voted for him will be one step closer to staying right where they are, in the middle class. Sadly the rest of us who want to succeed will continue to do so even if Obama thinks we are greedy and therefore must take some of our wealth and spread it around.
US should add detail to foreign-travel alerts
I often wonder if the AZ Star editorial staff even reads their own stuff, or do they just assume that the average reader is just that dumb. Here we have an OP-ED complaining that the State Dept failed to provide proper details of why they issued an alert for travelers to Mexico. First of all, anyone who would be crossing the border into Mexico should really already be aware of what the current climate in the other country is. That is not to say the State Dept shouldn't be letting the average American know that it might be dangerous, but that is to say that people need to take a little more responsibility in their travel plans, especially to Mexico. Now why the AZ Star editorial staff wouldn't take this occasion to maybe take advantage of a warning like this is already cause for question. Maybe they could have given its readers alternative travel locations inside the US borders. Nope, that would be too logical. Instead they decide to try and say that without details how is one to know that the road to Mexico is really dangerous. At one point in the article they mention that the road is bad. Yet they do exactly what they are complaining about. They fail to give examples of the road conditions. How will I know that at mile marker 15 there is a huge pot hole, please AZ Star guide me on my path. They also cite examples of 2 random people who think that the road to Mexico the State Dept issued the warning about might not be that bad at all, they feel its exaggerated. Great, 2 random people according to the AZ Star said it was safe, lets make travel plans. Do I get to sue the paper for negligence if I get kidnapped on the highway that they said may actually be safe even though the State Dept told me to be cautious? I am not sure who at the AZ Star sold a bill of goods to Mexico, but they sure do go out their way to defend it more than they ever do our United States.

Bio/History of Jon Justice:
Born and raised in Southern California I attended private Christian Schools from 5th grade through High School. I worked at age 18 as a record store manager. Right around when I turned 21 I left retail to go work as a public real estate auctioneer and property inspector in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties. One day, just after being chased off the lawn of a house going into foreclosure by a very large toothed dog who obviously had not been fed for awhile, I heard a commercial for the Academy of Radio Broadcasting. The rest is, as they say....history.
After graduating from the ARB I started as an intern and weekend air talent for Riverside San Bernardino station KCXX in late '95. I then left in '98 joining John Michael at Tucson AZ Alternative Rock KFMA. While at KFMA the Jon and John Show went #1 with our core audience. With this new found fame I was able to convince a promotions intern that I was the coolest guy on the planet and made her my wife. Yes I married an intern and even after she figured out I wasn't that cool Melinda still stayed with me.
In 2000 I returned to KCXX to team up with my still good friend Dick for the Dick and Justice Show. After reaching new highs and lows with bits like "Homeless Survivor" and "Dog in a Hot Car", Dick And Justice went #1 and posted the highest morning show ratings on KCXX. During this time my wife gave birth to our first son Logan Wedge.
In 2003 Dick and I accepted a job as afternoon show for Atlanta's WKLS 96Rock. While achieving some moderate success and hosting a night show on the now defunct FM Talk Real Radio 105.3 we fell victim to a station-wide decline in performance due an on air incident that got the successful morning show fired for airing inappropriate content. Dick and I exited WKLS late in 2004, after which Dick left the radio industry to join CNN.
In December 2005 I joined Grand Rapids MI Active Rock WKLQ as host of the Justice and Jim show. Once again reaching the masses with new lows like the now famous "Dog Drowning Hoax" in which I tried to bring to light the dangers of children drowning in local pools and lakes. Needless to say management mistakenly silenced me after the bit reached critical mass being covered not only on all local news outlets but major cable networks as well. A bit which was done to help educate and a make statement about how people need to pay more attention to child dangers, ended up making me look like an animal hating shock jock. (Of which I am niether, despite what some now think of me locally). After surviving the "Dog Hoax" in late 2005 (I was not fired for that bit, again despite what has been said in online circles) I found myself hosting the show solo as "Justice in the Morning". . That was until my agent made a deal with the company I worked for to put a syndicated show on several of its stations-including mine.....yes, my agent at the time essentially put me out of work. While I hated to lose my job, I was glad to leave WKLQ.
After serving a brief non-compete I was asked to join the #1 station in the market Newsradio WOOD as APD and fill in talk show host. I was given the job of fill in hosting on the stations two #1 live local shows The Grand Rapids Morning News and Rick and Scott (Both shows I have the utmost respect for). Also I was honored to be working on air the week of President Gerald R. Ford's passing, providing Grand Rapids the only live local call in show for 6 hours. During this time Melinda and I welcomed the birth of our second son Kyle Elliott on December 12 2006.
Just after the first of 2007 NEWSRADIO WOOD 1300 launched The Show with Justice Saturday afternoons.
It is now with great pleasure that I can be back in Tucson Arizona. On August 13th 2007 I started as host of my show "The Jon Justice Show" on 104.1 The Truth Tucson's News FM.
My passion has always been talk radio and I am pleased to finally be able to make a career in radio doing talk radio.
I was raised in a Reformed Presbyterian Christian household. I am happy to carry these beliefs with me still today and to be able pass them along to my wife and children Logan Wedge and Kyle Elliott.
I believe:
-I am not better than you the listener, just lucky enough to have a microphone and you don't
-Republicans get it right most of the time
-Democrats get it wrong most of the time
-If you are a liberal that's alright, everyone can change
-We need more God and less government
-We need more honesty and less political correctness
-The Ten Commandments and the Constitution are not mere "suggestions"
-There is reason why the "War on Terror" is called a WAR
-Freedom and democracy don't happen without a fight and they don't happen over night
-If you think you know how war will play out, you're very confused.
-If you're upset about soldiers that die during war, how mad are you about the homeless guy downtown that starved to death last night, the roll over crash that killed 3, or the winter storm that leveled a home and killed a family.
Death happens and our soldiers are fighting for your right to live free.
-We will win the war in Iraq and the war on Terror, but not without the FIGHT
-The media reports what they think you want to hear and unfortunately most of us are too stupid to care
-The most important things in my life are God, my wife and children, my family and my Job
-My father is my mentor and best friend next to my wife and sons
-The most enjoyment I get from TV comes in the form of NASCAR racing, Star Wars movies on DVD, and 24 the TV Series
-If I want to laugh then Spinal Tap, Monty Python and Judd Apatow movies will fill the need
-Depeche Mode is the most underrated band ever
-Dale Jr drives better than you...go #88, go JR!
-Pizza is greatest meal on the planet
-If I need a drink an Orange AMP energy drink will do. If I need something with a little more kick, Captain Morgans and Diet Pepsi will do the trick.
