Malibu Mystery Theater

Something fine in the world of amusement.

br> For those in peril on the Sea. /em> /p>

This is the Navy hymn, adapted, I believe, from an earlier English hymn, and I feel it in my bones for those brave enough to offer their lives for us.

And by the way, do we ever need a pay raise for the military. It is criminal how little they are paid as they offer their lives on the altar of freedom. Mr. Bush, let’s do it now. I said my prayers and ate an English muffin, and soon, yea, soon, I was asleep on my little bed, which, I hope, will not be vaporized by the North Koreans any time soon.

Why, oh why, did Clinton not rush forward with missile defense? If he had done so, we might have a defense right now. How I wish we had one, and I don’t care how much it costs. America has to learn that our life is on the line. Crazy people have atom bombs. This is not a good situation and we need to defend ourselves.
