Mr. President It's Time to "Meddle"

With all of the upheaval in Iran over the disputed Presidential election, rather than say he didn't want to "meddle" in Iran's affairs I think it's time for the leader of the free world Barack Obama to at least make a statement for free elections, human rights and the Iranian people in general. While he's at it he might want to make a comment or two to that other petty dictator in North Korea regarding the recent kidnapping of two journalists as well. He probably doesn't want to interrupt his national celebrity tour promoting his "punish the rich, anti tort reform, government run health care plan.....and that's what shim sez..

Remember D-Day

Tomorrow is June 6th. D-Day. It was on this day 65 years ago that thousands of American and Allied forces launched the most massive military deployment in history when they stormed the beaches of Normandy and began the liberation of Europe which led to the eventual end of Nazi tyranny and the end of World War II.
As the number of WWII veterans continues to dwindle and the years pass by the day seems to occupy a smaller place in our minds. That can't happen. It was then and still is now one of the most (if not THE most) important day in American and World history. Who knows what course the history of the world would have taken had that invasion, dubbed Operation Overlord not been successful. I shudder to think.
Take a few moments of your busy day tomorrow and say a little prayer of thanks to the thousands of brave young men who risked their lives to literally save the world. Say a special prayer for the thousands that didn't make it home. Remember D-Day....... And that's what shim sez.
