"I actually like that song, Harry. Never was a big Queen fan, but what a voice."
"Aint no such thing as a sure thing. "
"I was a nervous wreck by the end of the Seattle game! Slept through most of the Lions game, but I did see the final score.
Lost 1.8 billion coins on the Colts. Thought that was a sure bet!!! Glad it wasn't real money, but it will take me months…"
"Dave, did you ever think you would root for the Lions? Gonna get interesting. I heard you when he shanked the field goal. If our guys meet down the road it'll have to be on our turf. "
"Ain't that the truth! That was an ugly game, Harry. Hawks didn't even get started until the 4th quarter."
"Confucius says “Man who messes with his wife, also messes with his life.” "
"Looking forward to seeing how the first NFL game in Germany goes. Jokingly asked the wife a few weeks ago if she wanted to go. Had a helluva time convincing her I was just joking.
SEAHAWKS!!!
Tom Brady sucks! Boo Tampa Bay!"
"Ernie, tomorrow’s game might be more telling than any one, so far, this year. The Giants, in the past, usually played down to a supposedly weaker opponent. It’s also their first game as a favorite. I know you’ll…"
"Thanks Harry. Honestly didn't believe Seattle would win a single game this year, but Geno Smith is really pulling us together."
"Dave, your guys were better than my guys. My guys are going through a major identity crisis. Are we good? Are we just lucky? We’re off next week. I expect some changes to be made. Enjoy the moment. Your guys are…"
"Got a real battle going here in Seattle!"
"Ernie, I agree! Can't deny that the new coaching staff has had a major impact on our Giants. We have been an underdog in every game this year and we’re 6-1. UNBELIEVABLE!! "
"Hahahahaha!!!!! This picture just popped up on my computer for memories from this day."
"Well Ernie, I hope the Hawks can give you guys your money's worth. We put it to the Chargers pretty good today, despite some big mistakes. Hope our luck holds."

Israel's History is a lesson for all Nations: Have we abandoned God?
A commentary worth reading by Ben Stein:
Apparently the White House referred to Christmas Trees as Holiday Trees for the first time this year, which prompted CBS presenter, Ben Stein, to present this piece which I would like to share with you.
The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.
My confession:
I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was…

Christmas 2012 - with love and kindness
A Christmas Story for the Children of the World
It was about one in the morning on Christmas Day when little Billy made his way from his bedroom, where he was suppose to be sleeping, to the living room where a Christmas Tree was standing with all his presents below it. With scotch tape in his hand, Billy's plan was to carefully unwrap all his presents to make sure he got what he asked for and then carefully re-wrap them so his parents would never know what he had…

Dragoon Base has become for me an important link to a group of wonderful men and women who have served their Country in the Second Armored Calvary – the same unit I was in during the Vietnam War. The time, effort and energy that goes into designing and maintaining this site is a credit to all those involved. It is educational, informative and entertaining as we all reveal…

This was the third design of the 2d Cavalry DUI, worn from 1924-1931. The sharp points on the ends of the bottom scroll again called for a redesign.
