God bless America, and how’s everybody?

George Washington’s birthday will be honored at Mt. Vernon today with a performance by the Fife and Drum Corps and a reading. There’s a reason he remains so popular to this day. George Washington is the only U.S. president who never blamed his problems on the previous administration.

Hollywood celebrities protested Monday against U.S. immigration agents rounding up criminal illegal immigrants in Los Angeles and deporting them. The stars were outraged. It’s funny how the same people who said they were leaving America are so upset that people are having to leave America.

Alexander Historical Auction sold Adolf Hitler’s telephone Sunday which was retrieved by the first British officer who entered Hitler’s bunker shortly after the Fuhrer’s suicide. It’s his military phone. Hitler’s phone sold for two hundred-forty-three thousand dollars, most of it roaming charges.
