I am the flag of the United States of America


I am the flag of the United States of America.

(Image courtesy of the Westminster Municipal Band – they are awesome. Just saying.)

My name is Old Glory.
I fly atop the world's tallest buildings.
I stand watch in America's halls of justice.
I fly majestically over institutions of learning.
I stand guard with power in the world.
Look up and see me.

I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.
I stand for freedom. I am confident.
I am arrogant. I am proud.
When I am flown with my fellow banners,
My head is a little higher,
My colors a little truer.
I bow to no one!
I am recognized all over the world.
I am worshipped - I am saluted.
I am loved - I am revered.
I am respected - I am feared.

I have fought in every battle of every war for more than 200 years.
I was flown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appamatox.
I was there at San Juan Hill, the trenches of France, in the Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome and the beaches of Normandy.
Guam, Okinawa, Korea and KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam know me.
I was there. I led my troops.
I was dirty, battleworn and tired,
but my soldiers cheered me and I was proud.

I have been burned, torn and trampled on the streets of countries
I have helped set free. It does not hurt for I am invincible.
I have been soiled upon, burned, torn and trampled in the streets of my country.
And when it's done by those whom I've served in battle - it hurts.
But I shall overcome - for I am strong.
I have slipped the bonds of earth and
stood watch over the uncharted frontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon.
I have born silent witness to all of America's finest hours.
But my finest hours are yet to come.
When I am torn into strips and used as bandages for my wounded comrades on the battle field,
when I am flown at halfmast to honor my soldier,
or when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent at the grave of their fallen son or daughter,

I am proud.
I am the flag of the United States of America.

Details of the death of KTLA news anchor Chris Burrous released.


Details of the death of KTLA news anchor Chris Burrous released.

Apparently, it is one of those days in which it is not safe to read the news. First, there is the not so family-friendly story coming out of California about the sudden death of KTLA news anchor Chris Burrous.

Burrous, who is married to another journalist, died during a drug-enhanced – crystal meth - hook-up with another partner, who just happened to not be his wife. Oh, the details. You cannot make this stuff up. SMH.


I just do not get it. To rise to the level of accomplishment as Burrous and throw it away and die over a hook-up makes no sense.

According to the article in Yahoo, found here: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/ktla-anchor-chris-burrous-cause-230148391.html, that is not really safe for work, “An investigative report on KTLA anchor Chris Burrous has determined that his cause of death was attributed to methamphetamine toxicity, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office. Burrous, 43, was found unconscious at a motel in Glendale, Calif on December 27, and later died at the hospital. The death has been ruled as accidental

“The coroner’s report said that in addition to the Class A drug, ‘Other contributing factors include hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.’”

Wait-wait it gets worse, if that were possible.

“Glendale police were contacted by a man who told them “an individual he was with had passed out and was possibly not breathing.” The man he was with administered CPR before Burrous was taken to the hospital. The medical emergency occurred during a sexual encounter, the report specified. It went on to explain that Burrous had met up through the Grindr app with a male companion, with whom he had met four times previously. During the encounter, Burrous inserted two “rocks” of crystal meth through his rectum before falling unconscious.

“GHB was also found at the scene, although the report indicated it had been consumed by the other man and not Burrous. The other man was not charged with any crime.

“The well-known news anchor had been a regular face on KTLA since 2011, co-anchoring the weekend edition of KTLA Morning News as well as serving as a correspondent for other KTLA telecasts. He was also one of the reporters covering the state’s recent wildfires as well as the mass shooting at Thousand Oaks’ Borderline Bar & Grill. He was also known for his “Burrous Bites” segments on local restaurants.

“Burrous is survived by his wife Mai Do-Burrous, a journalist whom he met while working at KGET, and their 9-year-old daughter.”

The only actor nominated for an Oscar in Spike Lee's film "BlacKkKlansman," is white.

The only actor nominated for an Oscar in Spike Lee's film "BlacKkKlansman," is white.

Feb. 24, 2019

In recent years, watching the Oscars has become tedious. For that matter, when I did media criticism years ago for another publication, I wrote about the Oscars becoming irrelevant mindless drivel. So many pathologically narcissistic Hollywood-types examining their navel with a cracked mirror.

In the latest Oscar death rattle: according to an article I found on Yahoo, “Aubrey Plaza rips on Oscars and Netflix in hilarious Spirit Awards monologue:”  https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/aubrey-plaza-rips-oscars-netflix-005201592.html which first appeared in USA TODAY, “The host of the Spirit Awards, Aubrey Plaza, used part of her opening monologue to make fun of the Oscars…

“Another part of Plaza's monologue that got plenty of laughs was about Spike Lee's film "BlacKkKlansman," because its only actor nominated is a Caucasian star.

" 'BlacKkKlansman' explores the struggle of a black police officer to find his role in the fight against white supremacy. So congratulations to the sole nominee from that film today, Adam Driver. We are so proud of you. You were the best one. I’m sure they’ll do the white thing."

You cannot make this up. I have not watched the Oscars in years. It is no longer relevant. It killed itself with its pathological narcissistic personality defect.

Experienced U.K. Rider Dies When Lead Rope Wraps Around Her Neck

How many of us have thoughtlessly draped a lead rope across our shoulders when we get busy and aren't thinking... "Take just a minute to remind yourself to be careful when you're working with horses, even when you're not mounted. Casually looping a rope around your arm can lead to disaster before you even know it. Stay safe, be careful, and have fun…”

According to the story by Paige Cerulli Retrieved February 23, 2019:

“In a tragic accident, a rider was killed when a lead rope became wrapped around her neck and the horse bolted.

“Kathryn Bull, 39 years old of Nottinghamshire was killed in a tragic accident. Bull, an experienced horseperson, was dragged 450 feet across a field when the rope attached to a horse she was leading became wrapped around her neck…”

David McDonald - former pharmaceutical representative owner of Westminster Rare Coins died Feb. 9, 2019

Obituary for David Blaess McDonald 68, of Westminster

David Blaess McDonald, 68, of Westminster passed away peacefully on February 9th, 2019. Born March 3rd, 1950, in Detroit, Michigan, he was the son of the late Arthur and Maxine Blaess McDonald. David was the beloved husband of Patricia Pearce McDonald, his wife of 46 years.

In addition to his wife, David is survived by his daughters, Brooke Fritz and her husband, Caleb; Melissa McDonald; and Kelsey McDonald and her husband, Brent Figlestahler; all of Baltimore. He is also survived by granddaughters, Eva Maxine Fritz and Rosie Dean Fritz.

David is a lifetime member of numerous numismatic organizations, a former member of the Lions Club and an alumni supporter of his college fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon.

David loved to kayak and ski, but above all else, he was proud of being the father of three wonderful daughters and of being Pop to Eva and Rosie.

A memorial service will be held for David at Ascension Episcopal Church in Westminster, Maryland on Saturday, February 23rd at 11:00 a.m. with the Reverend Samuel Nsengiyumva and the Reverend Ronald S. Fisher officiating.
