Did we really send James Taylor to sing to the French



Did we really send James Taylor to sing to the French

January 16, 2015

To show the world we mean bus in the fight against terrorism, we sent James Taylor and Sec Kerry to Paris to sing

I thought this was a joke until I read it. Twitter was not amused. http://cbsloc.al/1BbZAed

One of my favorites was “John Kerry warns radical Islamists to ‘Cut it out, or I'll bring over Kenny G and Yanni next time!’” http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/kerry-brings-james-taylor-serenade-french-youve-got-friend_823854.html   …

Kevin Earl Dayhoff @kevindayhoff - to fight against terrorism we sent #JohnKerry & James Taylor to Paris to sing. I guess Jane Fonda was not available https://twitter.com/kevindayhoff  

"Just close your eyes and think of me / "yes and soon I will be there."

I am so embarrassed for our country.

+++++++++++++++++

When I first learned that President Obama had sent James Taylor with Secretary John Kerry to Paris to reassure the France that we mean business in the war against terrorism; I assumed that Mr. Taylor got the assignment because Jane Fonda was not available.

Now we know why the president did not send Ms. Fonda, she was at the Weinberg in Frederick. http://www.weinbergcenter.org/6914/jane-fonda/ Double face palm smack.

Yet, I must confess, I too have heard her speak – at the Kennedy Center a number of years ago. I listened quietly and did not say a word. If I want her to respect my points of view, I must respect hers.

We fought to protect free speech – for everybody. That said, to forgive is divine. To forget is not policy. She was in a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft turret when my friends were coming home in a box.

I really defend the right for folks to disagree. I appreciated those rights in the south doing civil rights work. I respect it when folks write about a disagreement. I would have appreciated it if she had written a thoughtful and cogent essay against the war. For me the optics of her with the North Vietnamese in the gun torrent that shot down and killed American military personnel was just a bit too much to take. Just saying.

Frederick 1st Saturday is packed with familes at S Market at Carroll Creek


Yeah, It really was not the best picture... I saw some better pictures later, but my camera battery died on me... Anyway, moving right along here.

We really enjoyed spending the evening in downtown Frederick for 1st Saturday. The streets and sidewalks were packed with families. We had a great dinner at La Paz.... It was certainly not hard to pick a place a to eat. There are so many wonderful restaurants from which to choose.
