hello
Seeing the names of 19 year olds dead makes me sad and mad. I would like to take a big stick and beat the crap out of bush and cheney. I'm basically non-violent but killing kids because you want to get rich makes me crazy. Why are republicans such war mongers? They were the same way with the Vietnam War. The result was 55,000 young Americans died. And 2 of the most chicken shit cowards kept their asses here in the states. As cheney said he had other things to do. The truth is he was and is a coward. And bush didn't even finish his duty protecting the skies of Texas from the communist menace.
Ike Turner is/was a wife-beating scumbag. He doesn't deserve to be remembered in the same video as civil servents like Rep Carson and murdered soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.
every week... more soldiers. When will this end?
Im sorry that they decided to omit one of the greatest poker players who ever lived, David 'Chip' Reese. I wonder how he was affected by the most anti-Republican bill ever passed, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (to those who dont know, the UIGEA was attached to the SAFE Ports Act after it failed two up-or-down votes).
To anyone interested in the ridiculous hypocrasy regarding this bill and one Representative Bob Goodlatte, check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4gd-W-cXMU&feature=related
Add Dan Fogelberg to this list. His songwriting will be missed as well as his love for
this planet and its contents.
Another unique artist and remarkable human being, Dan Fogelberg, has passed away today.

you can enlist at 18 but can't drink until 21
More deaths in Iraq. THat's bad.
What annoys me was the mention of the fact that Ike Turner is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Connie Francis is not. Connie Francis recorded her songs in many languages and spread Rock and Roll all over the world. In her later years her husband was murdered and she was raped. She became activew in victims' roghts. Ike was an abusive husband. When I wrote to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame asking why Connie Francis isn't in it, I got the usual C. Y. A. letter.
Ken Mitchell @ 9:
Truer words were never spoken, Ken. Connie a true artist. As for the Hall of fame,
the entire concept is stupid so to hell with it.
