I Dare You Not To Cry

I am exhausted with all the rancor in the world. This video removes my second-guessing and affirms my belief in the virtues of our country...the principles which we are struggling to retain lately. Live Free or Die, seems to sum it all up. And our troops are doing the dying so we can live free.

This is a small compilation of home videos showing the loved ones' reactions to the return of the soldier in their lives. The big tough guy that I think I am can not make it past the first little girl. I will return to watch this often. I feel compelled to remember their sacrifice.

Tissues, please.

My New Drummer

Why not? He travels light, that's for sure. I especially liked the National Anthem.

I never really was a big fan but this is pure vaudevillian brilliance.

"King Obama" by Lenin and the Castros

From the Pasadena Patriots with Victoria Jackson as Butterfly, Jim Riley as Shemp Thorkleson and myself as Lenin, the anarchist singer-songwriter. What a great time taping up at Riley's Farm, a working colonial re-enactment facility. Let's put this one over the top and please post and send and retweet.

Here's their reunion tour photo:

Back from DC ....(but barely)

I will post as soon as the blood returns to my brain. Still grieving over lost digital camera with all my backstage pix in it (Ray Stevens, Breitbart, Michelle Bachmann, Tucker Carlson, Ron Paul, the list goes on...)

I'll live... but here is one from my buddy, Tommy Z., who performed last night also. One of my heroes, Christopher Lord Monkton.

We discussed the framing of the debate by climate hoaxers when the call people like him, "Climate Skeptics." His reply was that science entails skepticism so he welcomed it. We then discussed Einstein's Theory of Relativity (really...he, more than I.) The man brought his A Game to the stage later.

Next Stop: Washington Monument

I got the good news yesterday. Freedomworks has included me in their Thursday evening line-up for the National Tea Party Tax Day event. Not a reprise of 9-12 but with many of the same organizers, this promises to be just as stirring as September.

The Tea Party Express will roll in early that day and I will get to see my friends on the busses. I asked Ron and Kay Rivoli, Lloyd Marcus, and my fellow Pasadena Patriot VICTORIA JACKSON to sing along in the chorus for me.

They gave me a prime time slot of 7:37 PM (they are very precise, and will "play off" long-winded overtimers. I don't think that'll be the case as the lineup includesCongressmen Ron Paul and Tom Price, Andrew Breitbart and one of my heroes, Christopher Lord Monkton, famed climate scientist (and truth-based skeptic.)

CSPAN should have it live but Fox News will probably have it in the background and play sound bites as they are prone to do.

I'll tweet pictures from backstage. The stage has its back to the White House and we will face the Monument and crowd that gathers up the hill to it.
