It’s the warning labels that complete the awesomeness.

One Difference
Britain’s Prince Charles was severely criticized after comparing Russia’s Putin to Adolf Hitler.
Charles deserves it. The two are very different. Putin is clean-shaven.

[High Praise! to CBC News]
Dramatic before and after views of D-Day sites
Sometimes… war IS the answer.
Wonder what Normandy would look like if Hitler had won?

Keep Them Honest
While ranting against voter ID, Former DNC Chair Howard Dean said that “Republicans aren’t American!”.
Huh. Then you’d think Howard would want voter ID so that they can’t vote illegally.
Obama Warned Us – Earning
Retweet if you think hard-working Americans earning the minimum wage deserve a raise. #RaiseTheWage
“Retweet if you understand economics well enough to explain to all the low-wage workers why this will price them out of the job market.”

The most surprising thing in Hillary’s new memoir…
Random Thoughts: Super Nintendo, World Cup, and Taliban
I’m from the generation that had loud, angry shouting matches about whether Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis was better (it was SNES).
Before you belittle arguing about game systems, would you argue for the art of the Renaissance? Well, SNES brought way more hours enjoyment.
I propose to further differentiate soccer from football, we now refer to soccer as “European ball kicking.”
The new White House position seems to be that everyone in the military other than Bergdahl is awful.
Canadians are a good example of the “uncanny valley.” They’re so much like Americans but off just slightly in a way that makes them creepy.
I’m a big supporter of feminism and women smashing the patriarchy. I think that’s really cute.
The World Cup is when 3rd world countries gather around to watch people kick a ball until they all go mad and get violent. Purpose unknown.
I just didn’t get the 16-bit Sonic games. “Look how fast he can run! Now here’s an underwater level you have to carefully move through.”
Mr. President, during speeches blink three times in rapid succession if you are only saying things because the Taliban is making you.
Finally listened to some hip hop. Didn’t care for it.
Remember when the Japanese allegedly bombed us and the president was all like, “Let’s declare war on Germany!” What the hell was that about?
Should’ve Seen It Coming
Scientists have fitted sharks in the Gulf of Mexico with satellite-linked tags to help improve hurricane forecasting.
Man… this has “Sharknado” sequel written all over it.
Prayer Request
Anonymiss of Nuking Politics has an “event” today that has an uncertain outcome. She’s done all she can do about it, and has asked me to ask you guys for your help in petitioning higher powers to pull for the outcome that’s best for all involved.
Thank you.

[Video: The YouTube. Transcript: U. S. Army]
Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force! You are about to embark upon a great crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers in arms on other fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened, he will fight savagely.
But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man to man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our home fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to victory!
I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory!
Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessings of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.
— Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
