This piece goes on to cite McCain's re-emergence. It may be onto something there. The polls indicate a failure on the part of any of the GOP candidates to generate overwhelming grassroot support. Now, voters are re-evaluating the field. McCain could very well rise like a Phoenix from the fire. One reason: He's a known commodity.

Golly, and what would the Duke think of her choice of White House Christmas tree ornaments, while we’re on the subject?

OK. I’ll Let you in on some trivia. My dad made a movie with John Wayne. Even went to his wedding. The movie was The Sea Chase, and it was filmed on the Big Island (Hawaii). My dad knew John Wayne. He knew some of the other stars too. Alan Hale (Gilligan’s Island). And James Arnes. They were all class, and true Americans.

Sorry. Did not mean to make that a brag. Actually meant that to mean John Wayne was a part of my family all the way back to my childhood. Not like he showed up to my birthday parties. Instead, that he has had a profound impact on my family.

Cool trivia, thanks, the only problem is, that I wanted to Post a cool Fred picture but since I see your tag line, I fear that it would come off wrong.

There was that Newsweek waiting room June issue magazine with the dippy quote from BJ about John Wayne movies whilst they were aboard the U.S.S. George Washington—at Omaha Beach with the Clintons.

I know a few Republicans who say he's better than nothing, but most of the McCain before all supporters are liberals.

"And next she split the sea..."You mis-translate from the original Chaldean ... it is,
And next she splhit in the sea...
And of course everyone forgets to learn the next verse ..
So as unto lord algore the truth of persuasion doth cometh and stayeth for to be fortune unto his seed and seeds and seeds to be.
You're welcome ... now let's all get to church and learn the TRUTH.

LOL!
That’s one on my favorite Duke quotes. Immediately following, the Duke busts the guy in the chops knocking him down a very muddy hill.
