Blue Angels – The Video
While I was totally tempted to just embed the video and give credit where credit is due, I like people to visit the sites to which I link. Had I embedded the video, you may not have visited The Prozak Playground. If you want to see an awesome video of the Blue Angels in Janesville, go check it out…
This HAD To Be Posted!
From the young man, Lloyd Marcus, who brought us the American Tea Party Anthem:
We have a statement:
White Folks, You Have My Permission to Speak The Truth!
May 26, 2008
As a Black Conservative, would it be arrogant of me to give you white folks permission to speak freely? While claiming the opposite, democrats make EVERYTHING about race. Any white courageous enough to criticizes our “out of control power grabbing black president” is accused of racism and publicly crucified.
Now, republicans and some conservatives are petrified to speak the truth about Sotomayor, Obama’s Hispanic extreme liberal agenda driven nominee. So, as an official member of a minority, I hereby do LIBERATE you guys. Now, let’s talk turkey about this turkey!
Ah, I can hear y’all singing, “Free at last, free at last, Thank God almighty we’re free at last!”
Notice to liberal racists: Your crap ain’t gonna fly! B. Hussein is not being criticized because of the color of his skin….Sonia Sotomayor is not being criticized because of the color of her skin….they are BOTH being criticized because of their dangerous policies!
Oh, and I’ve added Mr Marcus’ blog on the roll over there! 
Heh!
Pinocchio, Snow White, and Superman are out for a stroll in town one day.
As they walk, they come across a sign: “Beauty contest for the most beautiful woman in the world.”
“I am entering!” said Snow White. After half an hour she comes out and they ask her, “Well, how’d you do?”
“First Place!,” said Snow White.
They continue walking and they see a sign: “Contest for the strongest man in the world.”
“I’m entering,” says Superman. After half an hour, he returns and they ask him, “How did you make out?”
“First Place,” answers Superman. “Did you ever doubt?”*
They continue walking when they see a sign: “Contest! Who is the greatest liar in the world?”
“I’m entering,” says Pinocchio. After half an hour he returns with tears in his eyes. “What happened?” they asked.
“Who the hell is Nancy Pelosi?” asked Pinocchio.

BREAKING!
Abortion Doctor George Tiller Reportedly Killed at Church
WICHITA, Kan. — DEVELOPING: Media reports say that abortion provider Dr. George Tiller has been shot and killed at his Wichita church.
Tiller has been among the few U.S. physicians performing late-term abortion. His clinic has repeatedly been the site of protests for about two decades.
This is NOT how you stop baby murder! You change hearts with facts! Not bullets! Get a grip! How stupid was the person who did this not to know that this has caused more harm to our cause????
I am angry!
The Blue Angels!!
As I mentioned in this post, I was fortunate enough to join a group of good friends at the Southern Wisconsin Air Show. I will once again apologize for the quality of these photos, but I feel fortunate just to have captured the Blue Angels – there are a few photos still in the camera with just sky – they flew by far too quickly!! I thought I got a photo of the diamond formation, but lo and behold, they were already halfway out of the frame. Oh well, enjoy…
One thing that kept coming back to me time and time again is that I am so damned proud to be an American. Several times I got a lump in my throat watching these extraordinary men and women who are representative of the our great military. Seeing the capabilites of the aircraft and hearing the jets scream by just took my breath away. I think Chad put it best when he said these are the sights and sounds of freedom.
Indeed sir, indeed.
Saturday Afternoon – Janesville Air Show
On Saturday, a group of local bloggers got together and attended the Southern Wisconsin Airfest in Janesville, WI. We decided to go for the gold and get VIP seating. A huge shoutout to The Asian Badger for putting the whole thing together. We were right in front, dead center. It was an experience I’ll never forget. Great people, perfect weather and a most outstanding air show. Here is just a glimpse of what we saw…
This is shockwave – a triple engine jet truck. It set a world speed record for a full size truck – 376 m.p.h., with 36,000 horsepower. You can read much more about the Shockwave here. We watched this bad boy race a plane. At the end of the race, a pyrotechnic explosion rocked the show.
There were some awesome aerobatic demonstrations.
This is Patty Wagstaff. (Sorry about the quality of the photos – I have a basic camera and planes go kinda fast) She is the first woman to win the title of U.S. National Aerobatic Champion…and went on to win it two more times. You can read more about her here. And yeah, we were THAT close!!
And what air show would be complete without the Navy Leap Frogs proudly flying the colors…
Also performing were the Golden Knights, F-16 Viper demo and Susan Dacy, among others. But of course, the highlight of the show…the incomparable Blue Angels. Oh yeah!!! Those pictures will be up soon…
In GOD We Trust!
AMEN!
If we weren’t a nation based on Judeo-Christian principles, other religions would not be free to worship in any manner they choose.
