Did President Barack Obama actually mastermind a plan to destroy this Minnesota Twins family’s annual trip to the beaches of Florida? Instead of heading to Fort Myers Florida, the unemployed Sports Daddy discusses an alternative family trip to rural South Dakota with the Sports mom. Read more & watch the funny video…

I am going to start posting things that my friends send to me via email. You know the type of email that people read and feel strong enough to forward? Anyway, I usually don’t FORWARD anything to anyone’s in box without feeling strong enough to render an opinion, so when I post these, I will try and share my opinions.

This one is obviously politically motivated, intended to send a message to the democratic party. I am not a “tea party” Republican by any means, but I do believe in the type of government that requires checks and balances. When one party gets too powerful, it is in my nature to vote for change. I am a strong advocate of voting for the best person who most represents your beliefs, and feel that every opinion should be considered. So with hopes of helping spread the word of someone who wrote this, here goes:

“68% will send this, should be 100%”

We the people are coming
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG,
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS,
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
In the email, I was asked to send this on if I agree, or delete if I don’t.  It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God.  Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having ‘In God! We Trust’ on our money and having ‘God’ in the Pledge of Allegiance. I believe it’s time we stand up for what we believe!  If you agree, pass this on, if not, delete.

“When Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon, he and all the space scientists were puzzled by an unidentifiable white object. I knew immediately what it was. That was a home run ball hit off me in 1933 by Jimmie Foxx.”

-Lefty Gomez
Today in 1969, Neil Armstrong landed on the moon. I remember, this was a BIG DEAL when I was 4 years old, and is still a big thing today, considering that our country doesn’t seem to care about the space program. (President Obama’s huge cuts to NASA, and encouraging the private sector to take it over is just one example- Gee I miss the Space Shuttle already).

What made this country great was it’s constant urge to surge into the unexplored. Lewis & Clark’s expedition to the Pacific Ocean forged the path for West Coast settlement. Jeb Smith marked trails through the Rocky Mountains, and the Sierra Nevadas that became interstate highways decades later.

The moon landings in the 60′s were supposed to be an extension of this mentality to explore boldly for all mankind. In grade school, I was taught that we would have bases on the moon by now, and taking trips to the moon would be as commonplace as flying from Los Angeles to New York. It seems like that goal has been flushed away.

So today, I propose that every home run hit in a Major League game be dedicated to that first moon landing. If you catch one of the moonshots from today’s games, put it on ebay, and send the funds to NASA.

This was sent to me by a friend and we both agree on the content of the cartoon. It’s baseball, it’s Obama, and with all respect to the movie “The Sandlot” he “throws like a girl.”

And for realistic perspective viewing:
