Time is the most valuable thing on earth: time to think, time to act, time to extend our fraternal relations, time to become better men, time to become better women, time to become better and more independent citizens.—Samuel Gompers, on the 8 hour work day

My daughter Kristin gave me this wonderful book for Christmas “American Sniper” by Navy Seal Chris Kyle. Like “no Easy Day”, I sat down and read it in one day!
What is unique about “American Sniper” is not just Chris Kyle’s perspective… But the inclusion of long sections written by his wife that added a meaningful perspective on the sacrifices everyone made.
For those looking for drama and action it is there… Even a bit of family and romance. The story to me was also about Chris finding what was valuable in this world, moving on and paying back to those who made his life successful and meaningful.
I don’t think it hurts the story to say that Chris is learning the value and contribution to the greater good in being a better husband and father. His contributions speak for themselves… But what he is now doing also helps build a better future.
I am reminded that one of the top Christmas wishes for this year… Was for a father.
I think it was Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev who said something about “placing a porcupine in someone’s pants.” If you haven’t tried it, it is such great fun! That is, fun for you , but not for them!
Bringing Ann Coulter into the heartland of radical academia is just like that. Although I am not sure that Osama Bin Laden ever spoke at Cal Poly (at least officially), I do remember seeing a disturbingly high number of pictures of him there.
In any event, Ann is coming to Cal Poly!
Nothing takes the place of a sincere thank you to all those who serve… but we do hope you all find this picture pleasing and makes you smile as it did me!
Remember those who maintain our freedom and preserve our ability to choose and our way of life.
Happy Veteran’s Day!
