The Marriott Casa Monica Hotel in St. Augustine = Jerks

Has a heck of a lot of FAIL going on.  They fired an employee for wearing an American flag pin.

Late to the party, but what the heck.

Representatives for the Casa Monica Hotel are defending a company policy that prohibits employees from wearing badges and buttons, even American flag pins.

“The American flag greets every guest and employee with its symbolism of our belief in this great country,” according to a statement from the Casa Monica Hotel. “However, our employee handbook clearly states, ‘No other buttons, badges, pins or insignias of any kind are permitted to be worn.’ “

Then maybe, in the interest of not being a bag of steaming crap, you should change the policy to allow your employees to wear an American flag pin.

Jackasses.  Guess I’ll be staying at the Holiday Inn from now on.

What a Nice Birthday Present

I have a wonderful wife, a great son, and now I’ve been given this for my birthday.

A U.S. official says an American-born cleric killed in Yemen Friday played a “significant operational role” in plotting and inspiring attacks on the United States.

And this was done, not by a drone, but by an honest-to-god airplane flown by an American pilot.

Today is a good day

**UPDATE**

The news just gets better and better, seems it was TWO US born terrorists that are now basking in their own personal hell, though this article says it was a drone strike, which is only a small disappointment to me

Independence Day

Didn’t post yesterday because I was busy hanging out with the family and then in the evening we enjoyed the fireworks.  God showed his love of our country by giving us this sunset to enjoy and then clear skies for the fireworks display.

Matthew though, slept through it all, which is as it should be when you’re only three months old.
