Portrait of Jesse


Jesse Markham - aspiring male model.

We're using my old 1967 Yamaha FG-180 as a prop. Jesse can actually struggle through a couple of chords.

Why do the Mormons Hate Dick Cheney?

Dick gets uninvited to speak at Bringham Young University, one of the most conservative universities in the most conservative states of the Union.
The private university, which is owned by the Mormon church, has “a heavy emphasis on personal honesty and integrity in all we do,” said Warner Woodworth, a professor at BYU’s business school. “Cheney just doesn’t measure up.”
It tells you something, I suppose ... but only if you haven't been paying attention for the last six or seven years ...

Why Does Bill O’Reilly Hate Our Troops and American Values?

Bill O'Reilly accuses a 29-year vet of the US Army and a teacher of International Law of hating America.

It begs the questions ... what was Bill O Reilly's service record like and where did he get his degree in International Law?

The answers are that 1.) he has NO military record and 2.) he there's no record of him studying International Law at any institution that teaches it.

The fact of the matter is, anyone who disagrees with Bill O'Reilly somehow gets labeled as hating America ... amazing, isn't it?

How is it that a second rate entertainer, ignorant of the Constitution and what the founding father's intended for this country to be, incapable of carrying on an honest discourse can be so popular? I honestly think the answer lies in the question.

Get the story and the video clip here ...
