Under the Table
No honor or morality. Too conservative for the NFL. Asking and telling. The mediocre man in the White House.

JUST ANOTHER BIT OF ROAD-KILL
Re: Jeffrey Lord’s
Who Is DeMaurice Smith?:
Anyone who has been following the approach of the renegotiation
of the Collective Bargaining Agreement in the NFL and watching
Mr. Smith’s gently escalating pusillanimity can see the hard seas
approach for “America’s Game” one way or another. It is a safe
bet that the conclusion of those CBA negotiations will seal Mr.
Lord’s conclusion of the NFL as just another bit of road-kill in
the seizure of American public institutions. I wonder if the
lords of the NFL (Commissioner, owners, players) are conversant
with the effects of the Major League Baseball strike.

A RATHER ORDINARY MAN
Re: Andrew Wilson’s
A Little Bit of Economics:
Mr. Wilson’s very revealing words about Obama confirm, I believe, my opinion of Obama. That is he is neither intellectually nor emotionally equipped for the position where he finds himself. He masks the insecurities inherent in his rather unusual history, by this surface self-importance and apparent extreme confidence in himself. I believe we can all identify with his situation since probably none of us have the ideal background we would write or create if we could.
We, however, soldier on as best we can but we do not have the
future of Western Civilization on our shoulders as this quite
unusual and at the same time rather ordinary man in mental
capacity does. His situation is further complicated by having to
deal with a wife who has issues of her own. These include a
distaste for her affirmative action-provided Princeton education
and apparently a great deal of animosity for Western
Civilization, witness her influence over her husband’s decision
to refuse Great Britain’s gift of the Churchill bust. Strange
days indeed but every generation has probably thought the same.
But at least Christians know this world is not all there
is.

Sharpton came to memphis a couple of years ago when a youth was shot by a policeman in the middle of the night carrying a plastic gun and wouldn't drop it after repeated requests to do so.
Sharpton jumped to the front of a protest that was held. he left with his tail betwen his legs when they wouldn't pay him any money for his appearance. He is such a joke and it offends that Fox would even interview him. the other channels can't be accounted for.

Mr. Menard;
Why are you so upset with it being called the Congressional Medal of Honor? The official of the award is called the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and on the site it states it is often called the Congressional Medal of Honor (CMOH) because it is awarded by the President on behalf of Congress.
You are correct that the award is called the Medal of Honor, but if the society doesn't have a problem with it being called CMOH, then why the outrage. I think the important thing is that Mr. Stein is recognizing the heroics of the man who was awarded the Medal of Honor, not to be blasted for calling it something that the society recognizes as an alternative name. Please don't create outrage over something so trivial.
DanH - I didn't see anywhere in the article, letters or comments where someone stated the man "Won" the Medal of Honor. Why bring the anger here distracting from Mr. Stein's message?
It was an excellent article that doesn't deserve these criticisms.
