This is very interesting to check out. This book was on the Glenn Beck program last night, part of his Founding Friday’s shows. David Barton was the guest. This was the second show featuring the history of our Black Founding Fathers. Who had any idea that there was a book, 396 pages total, that told the amazing stories of these individuals? And why has it been swept under the rug? It’s truly sickening to witness. The book is from 1855. It is now out of print, but can be found online. I urge everyone to take some time and go through it. We need to make sure this history is not lost.

Just checking in quick. My hometown of State Center has a yearly celebration called the Rose Festival. Check it out – statecenterrosefestival.com Anyhow, originally I was going to miss out this year. But my Great Uncle passed away late last week and the funeral was held yesterday. So my wife and I decided to make the short trip home for his celebration of life and an extended stay for the Rose Festival weekend. Also when I return I’ll have company in town for the College World Series in Omaha. Likely I won’t be posting much here over the next week. However, I’ll post a few updates on Facebook and Twitter as usual.

A note about my Great Uncle. He was the hardest working and toughest man I ever knew. He leaves behind a great legacy with his example of work ethic and strong faith.

I’m looking forward to time spent with family and friends! It’s nice to also be home to celebrate Father’s Day with my dad. A little vacation is always nice. I hope all my readers and fans enjoy the Father’s Day weekend. Thanks!

Leak on the Leak, from my source at the White House, Day 48: Turns to intimidation. Calls the leak racist.

Here’s a great example of AmeriCANS. These guys have a simple, innovative solution to clean up the spill. This has been around for at least a few weeks. You’ve likely already seen it. So why isn’t BP or the federal government deploying this solution?

Leak on the Leak, from my source at the White House, Day 29: Tells Rahm Emanuel to send a dead fish to BP CEO so they’ll get the picture. CEO Tony Hayward sends a dead oil covered fish back with a note, "I’m busy, why don’t you help?" On Day 30 a naked Rahm appears at BP headquarters poking fingers into executive’s chests. Relations between White House and BP now considered "awkward".
