It is with great shock and sadness that I learned of the all too soon passing of two of my favorite people, Andrew Breitbart a great conservative warrior and Davy Jones of The Monkees fame.
I grew up like most people my age watching The Monkees on TV. They were a made up band for TV consisting of Mike Nesmith, Peter Tork, Mickey Dolenz and Davy Jones. They started out being a fake band for TV then later learned to play their own instruments and perform their own songs. Many were catchy innocent tunes like "Daydream Believer," "Last Train to Clarksville," "Pleasant Valley Sunday" and their trademark Monkees theme. Their show became a huge success and they went on tour. Davy was the lead singer and played tamborine. He had an acute British accent even when he sang and was indeed a heart throb. It's ironic that just last year in an interview he said, "I used to be a heart throb, but now I'm just a coronary." He died from a heart attack at 66. He left four kids from his three marriages and his current third wife who he married in 2009. Before becoming a Monkee Davy was a jockey and loved his horses. In fact he was on his horse farm when he died. He complained to fellow workers there that he wasn't breathing right and the next day he died. RIP Davy. As the Righteous Brothers sang,"If there's a rock 'n' roll heaven, you know they have a hell of a band."
Andrew Breitbart was another favorite of mine I was shocked to hear about today. Andrew was a brave warrior and stood up for what he believed, never wavering. He would go right up to any liberal convention and confront them when it was 70 to 1 unafraid and record it too. I always enjoyed his infectious smile and unabashed confrontations with liberals. He had the type of personality that all people could be attracted to. He enjoyed telling how he and Matt Drudge met Bill Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dorn for dinner once. He wrote with Matt Drudge on his site for many years and has his own conservative investigative company that will carry on the good fight. He died of a heart attack like Davy Jones and just collapsed. I heard that he did have a heart problem. He was only 43 and leaves a wife and four kids all under the age of 12. He was a very passionate man and will be missed. RIP Andrew. Until we meet again........I see the apologist in chief is at it again with the apologies. In Afghanistan, detainees in the detention center at a U.S. base there were writing inflammatory statements on their Korans and sending them back and forth. It is prohibited in muslim law to write on any Koran or change any words.When this was found out the Korans, all four of them ,were taken away and burned according to Muslim law by U.S. soldiers. This so infuriated the muslim poulation there that they rioted killing two soldiers and 30 Afghanis. So what does our great messiah commander do? He goes out and apologizes once again to the Afghan people. He later claims in an interview that this apology calmed things down.WRONG!!!! Two more soldiers were just killed after his apology. Where is the apology from the Afghan people or Karzid himself?.......I see where this female college student testified before congress that she has trouble making ends meet and wants the government (us taxpayers) to pay for her contraception. She claims she needs at least a $3000 a year for contraception. That's a lot of sex.When does she find time to study? If we're paying for her to have sex isn't that her being a prostitute and us supplying her contraception being her pimp?.......On Yahoo News today they are saying that $5 a gallon gas is the new norm since we now have cars that get better milage and companies have trucks that get better milage. As Rush Limbaugh so aptly put it today,"Isn't that like when they said during Clinton's tenure that lying was Ok?" You can be sure if a republican was in the white house they wouldn't be saying that.
