Not too bad yet, but the U.S. is an emerging police state.

MM, I appreciate your patriotism. However, people should take off their rose colored glasses and see the real state of "freedom" in our country. Our economic freedom has been completely trampled by a centralized government that has destroyed our gold-backed currency so they can print money without limit to fund an uncountable number of "programs" and bail-outs. What person that has any knowledge of the principles of liberty that the Founding Fathers intended can honestly say what we have today is nothing more than a wasteland of Socialism. The fact that the government has run up a ten trillion dollar deficit is all the evidence we need that centralized government doesn't work and will never work. Yet new handouts are on the way! Next up, government medical care. As a person originally from Canada I can tell you IT WILL FAIL MISERABLY. I want a strong national defense and secure borders with tightly controlled immigration. To me that's the starting point for national security. But we won't even build a simple fence along the Mexican border. What would that cost, 3 billion? But we have 100 billion per quarter for Iraq. Unbelievable! We're not free, we're slaves to the State with their excessive taxation and regulation and counterfeit monetary system and welfare and endless warfare. The financial markets are in chaos and decline. We must stop clinging to this silly sentimentality about our country and understand that it is decaying from the inside. We need to start working to regain our economic liberty, which is the pillar of all liberty.

aj,

When you go with the kids, it happens. I’ve been a Yankee fan since 1973. I remember 1993-1995, when the farm team turned the Yankees (with select leader free agents) in four titles in five years.

I’ve been to a least WS game in 1977, 1978, 1996, 98, 99, 2000. And I’ve been to six WS parades. I started loving them when they sucked before they won.

60% of their starting rotation is injured. They still might be in it at the end. But if they are not, they’ll be back.

BTW… I can get to Yankee Stadium in about a half hour from Jersey.

Well, was out of town and just back. Hope you all had a great Independence Day.
Kles, that article you posted was something else.

Michelle,

Thanks for broadcasting your son’s patriotism put to song. And you could hear him REALLY well, too. Since JD is 4 1/2, can’t all of us here out in Malkinville just cut him some slack and call him 5? I mean, isn’t 4 1/2 close enough to 5 for blog work?

I love Schoolhouse Rock! Every child in America should be watching these (might be the ONLY way some in government run schools learn about our great history)!

Here’s my favorite one:

Let me address the YouTube issue raised by Dr. Lead Based Paint. The fight over this is far from over and Google has deep pockets. As usual, this is all about money, with Viacom (which includes CBS) demanding royalties. This dispute is complicated by the fact that some performers might actually want “copyrighted material” on YouTube to keep their fan base happy and that foreign entertainers might similarly want such videos posted in the hope of being discovered by American moguls, as happened with two Filipino singers last year. Otherwise, this dustup is further proof that while all men are created equal, lawyers are more equal than the rest of us.

Gabe,

I hear you. All of those states will be strong consideration. I love the Yankees and the Giants, but that is what the sports TV packages are for.

I did nab Rutgers football tix (great seats) last year. Now they have a waiting list of around 10K. Who would have thought?

NJ goes to the dogs economically and Rutgers is becoming a football power. Are the locusts next?

But I’d be proud to be one of the good guys in Va, NC, GA.
