Well, unless you live in a cave, by now you are aware that two celebs died this week on the same day: Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett

I was never a big Michael Jackson fan. I liked some of his music but not enough to go out and buy. I loved to see him dance though! He was a troubled soul from early on and only became more so as he got older.

I never believed the sexual molestation charges (he was acquitted in 2005). He just seemed an easy prey for some people. I was sad to hear of his passing. The press is clamoring for details of course. Was he on major pain killers? Was it a drug overdose gone wrong?

Do we really need to know? In the end, he's still gone. All the money and fame in the world don't mean anything in that crucial moment when you meet your Maker. It's a lone journey with no screaming fans present. I hope you're at peace Michael. You deserve that.

I loved Farrah Fawcett! Everyone remembers her "big hair" and that famous poster that sold more then any other poster in all time. Every teenage boy had that poster on his wall in the late seventies and into the eighties. I wore my hair Farrah Fawcett style way into the nineties.

Her fight with cancer finally ended. Her life was over way too soon. She was a courageous lady and will always be remembered for the valiant fight she made for her life. Sadly, Michael Jackson died the same day and she did not get the recognition she deserved because his death upstaged hers. You're gone but not forgotten Farrah. Rest in peace. You deserve it.

Is It Me???

Well, just got into a debate with two of my liberal friends about health reform. I told them that the bill, as it stands right now would cost 1.4 TRILLION dollars and would only insure one third of the 47 million who are not insured at this time.

So what about the rest? How is that health reform? And where do we get the money?

Nobama just thinks the federal government can print all we need. Maybe Michelle has a money tree growing in her health garden at the White House?

How do they pick the one third who will get insurance? Questions, valid ones, to which they had no answers. They're on the Nobama band wagon. Like kids in a candy store. Buy all you want, get all you want. Mom and Dad will pay for it....

Is it me? Am I crazy for asking these questions?

You'll Never Be The Same Again....

On Fox News today President Obama was in Buchenwald with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel. It was touching. I watched it because it is a horrible part of history and a red blot on Germany, as Angela Merkel said in her speech. We must never forget so it will never be repeated.

Those who say there was no Holocaust are in denial. Visit Buchenwald or any concentration camp, and I promise you, you will never be the same again. Our soldiers who were first on the scene and liberated some of the first survivors, couldn't even speak about the horrendous conditions in the camps and the emaciated bodies of the survivors. There are some things too horrible for the human mind to comprehend.

There is an eerie silence when you visit one of the camps. It's like walking on hallowed ground in remembrance of all who died there. You will cry, and you will be intensely angry that such a thing could ever have happened. You will think about it. The image will never leave you. You will never be the same again..........
