(2007-08-23) — Former presidential rival Sen. John Kerry, D-MA, today filed suit against President George Bush over remarks to the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) yesterday in which the president likened the consequences of an early pullout from Iraq to the blood-drenched aftermath of the U.S. retreat from Vietnam in the 1970s.
The lawsuit claims that Sen. Kerry, a professional Vietnam veteran, “holds exclusive rights among modern politicians to the use of Vietnam imagery, metaphor and analogy to present-day circumstances.” Essentially, the suit argues that President Bush infringed on Mr. Kerry’s copyright by even mentioning Vietnam in a political context.
In the VFW speech, the president cast a vision for a free Iraq, noting that during World War II few believed that Japan could ever become a free, democratic nation and a U.S. ally. During the Korean war, few dreamed that South Korea could become the economic engine of today, as well as a stalwart friend of the United States.
“And during the Vietnam war,” Mr. Bush added, “few could have hoped that U.S. military involvement would eventually produce a junior senator from Massachusetts who would become the second popularly-elected Democrat to never serve as president.”

We might actually be able to stop by Scrapplefest after all. Asked my better half last night and she was far more responsive then i’d have imagined.
Still a slim chance to be sure, but better than it was yesterday.

Scientists have been investigating the correlation of pomposity and having events seared in a memory. Old “Lucky Hat” vividly recalls terrorizing women and children in the dark of night, thus his parallel world description of what it is like in Iraq. Unfortunately for him, he still terrorizes the population here in the USA, even in the daytime. What a horse’s arse.

Oh no, here we go with the “personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Kahn, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam.†again.

Some sort of Twlight Zone episode when George refers to Vietnam in the same breath as this conflict.
I believe we will be spinning off axis and shoosting (intentional misspelling) off into space soon.

ScrappleFest News:
In the interest of economy, Kooser State Park in western Pennsylvania is the rallying point.
Check in time for facilities is 3:00 pm. I will be at the park office area near the entrance at that time and/or post meet-up information on the bulletin board there.
The gathering probably will begin on Friday, August 31 and extend throughout the holiday weekend until September 3. Participants are free to arrive and stay as long as they wish.
All cabins at Kooser are currently booked for the weekend, but tenting and RV sites are still available. A “sister” PA State Park four miles away, Laurel Hill State Park, has vacancies. At any rate, regardless of what choice you make, reservations must be made ahead. Again, make reservations for yourself or your group on your own. A central website for more information and reservations is here: http://www.visitpaparks.com. Information on Kooser State Park is here: http://www.fay-west.com/somerset/kooser/
Park site information for each site tells what items to bring such as towels, sheets, cooking and eating items, etc.
There are inexpensive motels nearby. (Check the Somerset or Donegal areas. These are exits off the PA Turnpike.) I saw one called Log Cabin Motel on the route right off Rte. 31 on the way to Seven Springs Resort, a venue in the nearby area.
Coming from the west? Take the Donegal exit off the PA Turnpike and head east on Rte. 31.
Coming from the east? Take the Somerset exit off the PA Turnpike and head west on Rte. 31.
Kooser State Park abuts Hidden Valley Resort, and signs will direct you to the park.
Activities? Nothing formal or organized at this point. We will have a chance to chill, chat, and meet each other personally. Musically inclined folks are welcome to bring along instruments or karaoke for some group sing-alongs. I’m bringing some board games. The park offers swimming, hiking, and fishing (PA license required- available in an office in Somerset). Kooser Park also has daily nature-study programs.
I will have brochures (with maps) available for relatively nearby sightseeing venues for those who want to explore: Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob, Ft. Necessity and Ft. Ligonier, Fight #93 Memorial, etc.
Quite nearby are other hiking trails of the Laurel Highlands and Seven Springs Resort, which offers a water slide, restaurants, and clubs. A relatively short drive takes folks to Ohiopyle, where either white-water rafting or bicycling is available.
In other words, participants are free to follow their bliss as small groups or as individuals. Gathering as a group in the evening or for meals can be arranged as we go along.
Dress code? Camping or summer casual. Sightseeing will require a less “scrungy” look.
Bringing along food or beverages to share with the group would be a plus. I plan to purchase enough groceries for several meals for the core group that has responded so far.
I have assumed “contact person” honors since the venue is in my backyard, so to speak. Planning on coming? Email Scott Ott, who will forward information to me. (Sorry to impose, Scott, but I don’t want to post my email address here.)

I personally will be glad to sing for the group but I don’t want to get thrown out of the park, though I may tell a heap of stories (so what else is new).
Next year I may sell my book if it is ready. Did someone say “ya sure, I heard that before.”
Okay, I will gather up my peace freak bumper stickers from the 60’s and early 70’s and throw them over the wall-that is if I can find one

In a preliminary opinion, the Short (Mass.) Circuit Court has asked Professional Vet Kerry* to clarify his filing, noting that President Bush has neither falsely accused a “band of bothers‡” nor fragged his own butt to qualify for a medal, both considered essential aspects of Mr. Kerry’s trademark.

I seldom cry (mainly when our National Anthem is played) but when I consider the good times and fellowship that I’m sure will be at the Scrapplefest I want to cry because I’m having to pass. The energy expenditure necessary for the trip is more than I have available.
I do want to thank Beerme (thank you, Mike) since he volunteered to come and get me and my wheelchair and assist with my personal needs. There are no words to express my appreciation to him. But I suspect that he and most Scrapplers know what I feel.
I hope that there will be a lot of photos taken and some of you will forward a few of them to me. Please know that I will be there with you, if not in the flesh, then certainly in spirit. You will all be in my prayers.

Alas, I too will not be able to attend as I will be rooting on my sons’ teams next weekend. I, too, however would love to hear any tales and see any pictures anyone would like to share.
If I might point out another difference between Bush and Kerry, Bush supports US military success, Kerry does not, in keeping with his party.

Michigan in ‘08 sounds good to me, maybe on one of the lakes. Traverse Bay, anyone? (I also suggest that we not wrap the event around a holiday in the future since that timing is keeping some of our good friends away.)
Here are some other entertainment possibilities within a half-hour’s drive from Kooser. In the Ligonier area, Idlewild (amusement) Park/Storybook Forest will be having its last blast for the summer. The following weekend (for those who stay in the area to vacation a while), the Highland Games are an annual event for Scots and Irish clans to get together at the same wooded park. That same weekend is the annual flax scutching in Stahlstown, this year being the 100th anniversary. Additionally, the Somerset Historical Grounds will celebrate its annual Mountain Craft Days- great setting, crafts, demonstrations beyond the typical blacksmithing, and yummy food prepared by church and civic groups. Hey! Stick around for a week for some fun in the mountain playground.
Back to the topic of the thread:
Jawn “Lucky Hat” Carrie and his ilk are roundly put in their places for their chutzpah in criticizing President Bush for his allusions to Vietnam in his VFW speech here. What a bunch of maroons, indeed!

Is not Idlewild also called Kennywood? Ha, I have been trying for years to get someone to take me to Kennywood, but alas, when I describe the park to my friends they think it is a “wimpy place.”
Someday, when my wishes come true, some one will listen to me instead of thinking I am a dorky old woman. I may be dorky, but I am not old, well at least me hose doesn’t sag when I wear my black tennis shoes and my hair isn’t blue.

Shelly Re #29: According to Kerry, it was Christmas of 1968, a date “seared” into his memory by (Buddhist) Vietnamese soldiers firing their rifles to celebrate the Christian holiday …
Jim Wasser, the Swift Boat Vet who supported Kerry, was less sure about the precise location (Cambodia or Vietnam) but allowed for the possibility that Kerry might have gotten them a bit lost (a condition from which the rest of the crew appears later to have recovered).
32 Shelly // Aug 23, 2007 at 3:34 pm

Shelly, “fried” might be more accurate. (-:
That little detail has been explained away by the idea that Kerry’s trigger-happy compadres were actually celebrating Tet, which would have been February of ‘69. Apparently Left tenant Kerry was so enamoured of the compass Santa brought him he thought it was still Christmas.
In other words, although he didn’t know where he was or when he was there, his keen mind (perhaps before it got toasted) was vaguely aware of political developments in Washington.

I was going to say “chill”, but we have been “enjoying” (?) very warm and humid weather lately with scattered thunderstorms. Then again, you are accustomed to even muggier conditions.
MsRW,Ink: Kennywood and Idlewild are owned by the same company. Idlewild is the tamer and prettier of the two.

Darn, we wish that I were going!!! We love to camp. My favorite story happened several years ago at the beautiful state park in Bull Shoals, Arkansas. We always tent camp and at the time had all four kids at home. I am a good Girl Scout, and try my best to keep things as rustic as possible, but my crew loves biscuits and gravy, sausage, eggs, pancakes and grits for breakfast when we camp.
This one particular trip, we were set up next to the most elaborate RV you can imagine. Our two tents looked pretty pitiful next to this mansion on wheels. We got up early and got a fire going and set up the camp stove on the table. Having grown up a Girl Scout, I had brought a cardboard box, specifically for the purpose of baking and had lined it meticulously with foil to make a reflector oven. I mixed my biscuits from scratch, rolled them, cut them and put them in a pan and then put the hot coals from the fire into another pan, placed it into the bottom of the box with a rack and put the biscuits on the rack. I closed the top of the box and covered it with a big towel. While they baked, I made the rest of the meal and we finally settled down to a big breakfast accompanied by fluffy, brown biscuits and homemade apple butter on the side. As I was cleaning up, the man from the RV walked over and said, “Um, ma’am…I couldn’t help but notice that you had some really pretty biscuits for your breakfast.” I said, “Thank you.” He looked uncomfortable and said, “Well, I was just wondering….where did you cook them? I mean…you’re in a tent. How did you cook biscuits?” I showed him the box. He turned and yelled to his missus in the RV, who was looking out the window, “Honey!! She cooked ‘em in a box!! Really!!” I was polite and didn’t laugh.
46 Darthmeister // Aug 23, 2007 at 10:37 pm
Of course John Kerry has legal standing to sue President Bush over VietnamImagery©. Given their outrage, it’s pretty also pretty obvious that the Demoncrap Party has copyrighted VietnamImagery© since the start of the Iraq War. Therefore, POTUS has only opened himself up to copyright infringement suits from John Kerry and and the rest of the Demoncrap Party members.
The Donks probably can’t wait until President Bush tries to talk about 9/11ConspiracyTheories©, GlobalWarming©, and the EvilMilitaryIndustrialComplex©.

I should have included the fact that I have not been tent camping since and The tent went back to K-Mart that very next week. I must have been about 50 at the time, and and fighting the elements was not my gig anymore-though I do fancy myself a bit of a nature freak. I love to watch animals, but they are also still tasty.
