I like the way Bill Whittle puts many things and really like the way he puts things in this video. I warn you though, there is a very frightening and horrendous clip played from about 0:55 to 1:10 in this video:

I am a fan of the collected works of one Ian Thornley and have mentioned such several times. I was excited for a few minutes when I found out about this contest:

A few years back the band I was in played a show that benefited Operation Smile. This was the first occasion that I had heard of this organization that helps mostly kids with cleft lips and/or palates and other facial deformities.

If you know me you know I am incredibly hard to please when it comes to selecting someone to represent me. I have paid some attention to Marco Rubio and have found him to be a person who understands a great many principles that I espouse myself. That is not to say that I agree wholeheartedly with anything he has said or will say. I just see him as one of the few who understand important principles. I saw this video today that pushed me even further into his camp, in spite of my not agreeing 100% with everything mentioned by him. It is just too bad that I can’t vote for him in anything coming up.
