Whenever I travel abroad I am reminded

[nadinbrzezinski]

of how damn lame our lamestream media is... oh and free and liberal... my ass.

As is, it was a good decision to surprise parents with the visit the day before the beginning of the bicentennial of Mexican independence. They have put a hell of a show! In an hour or so the military review begins. And they have Marines from twenty five countries joining (yes even US Marines), so that should be an amazing, and very different military parade to watch.

Hey, Mexico being Mexico... let's see if we have a few UFO's show up... they have, a few times.

And no, I am not crazy. I am not going to go into any crowd... that is why they made a TV.

1. jealous!

I would love to see a Diez y Seis celebration in Mexico. Have fun!

Oh, and agree about the media. When I was Ireland several years ago it was a joy to watch real news.

2. Well the parade was good

and the Cadets from both Annapolis and West Point were present, as well as a detachment of Marines. The detachments from the Military Academies made sense when they did say that many detachments came from military academies.

It was nice to watch...

Oh and NO UFO's to report.

3. Have fun. And what a trip it is -

Once outside the USA, you find you have entire populations that are not feed baloney continually.

One example: in France, a nation of 82 million people, but with much freer and much more supported scientific community - only 5 million people got flu shots amidst last year's "pandemic" flu season fears. Shows the power of a freer press.

But hey, you cannot have interesting informative pharmaceutical commercials every four minutes, and not see the news bureaus sell out to the Big Pharma people.

:sarcasm:

And would we want to give up those informercials for a freer press?

4. Well actually I'd rather have those vaccines

nothing to do with the industry...

But that is just me...

(I believe in the annual vaccine that protects populations that need it from a flu that COULD kill them, but hey, that is that silly scientific and medical knowledge. By the way, European nations REGULARLY achieve better reach of things like oh vaccines, that includes France)

Now what I am hearing in Mexico are all the excuses Zarkozy is making regarding the Roma expulsion... before the EU.
