At the Mount Vernon estate of non-partisan (nationalist) President Washington, Republican (fascist/socialist) President George W. Bush lays a wreath at his predecessor’s tomb and compares the struggle to win independence for the States, to be the moral equivalent to his struggle to subdue Iraq (Operation Iraqi Fiefdom).

       This entry should trigger the gag reflex in those that know anything about President Washington.  For those that Can’t Visit Mt. Vernon and pay their respects to General & President Washington and his beloved family, as I have done, could just read his Farewell Address:

          Here’s a brief excerpt:

       In offering to you, my countrymen, these counsels of an old and affectionate friend, I dare not hope they will make the strong and lasting impression I could wish; that they will control the usual current of the passions, or prevent our nation from running the course which has hitherto marked the destiny of nations.  But, if I may even flatter myself that they may be Productive of some partial benefit, some occasional good; that they may now and then recur to moderate the fury of party spirit, to warn against the mischiefs of foreign intrigue, to Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism; this hope will be a full recompense for the solicitude for your welfare, by which they have been dictated.

       You are free to compare these seasoned thoughts from an honorable George W. to those of “Mission Accomplished” George W. Bush. —- JL

       While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are in Afghanistan, Djibouti, Iraq, the Philippines and west Africa defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Anthony Abbate, Jr., an off-duty Chicago, illinois statute enforcement officer, beats Karolina Obrycka, at Jesse’s Shortstop Inn.

       NOTE: The 260-pound Abbate, claimed that he was in fear of his life from the 115-pound bartender.
