I know Mala wrote a blog this morning about our 10 year anniversary. The blog has opined on many events through the years, including the 2008, 2012, 2016 Election cycles, Sandy Hook, Trayvon Martin, Occupy Wall Street, Government Shutdown.

Kenny Pick over at Turn Up The Night turned his entire show this evening into a celebration of our blog. That was awesome of him to do that, and lots of fun. In preparation for the show, I went through a LOT of my past blogs and took notes of the ones I thought were really special. Naturally, with all the fun chaos, we never got to them.

So - with that in mind, here is a 10 year retrospective of my favorite blogs (the ones that I wrote)...

Whither Now?: There's no looking back
ReDeclaration of Independence: Modifications from one King George to another...
We Are the Change: A song that I have yet to record
And the Wall(st) Came Tumbling Down: The crash of 2008
It Takes a Planet: Going from it takes a village in steps up to the whole earth
White Like Me: pretty much what you think it is
In Defense of Big Government: Socialism works for some things
PAC Man - A Story For Our Times: Investigative journalism!
Romancing the Gun: Post Sandy Hook

It's been pretty hard to avoid all the hubbub this week surrounding the growing movement within NFL football players (and in some cases coaches and/or owners) to "take a knee" during the national anthem. This was started last year when Colin Kaepernick first sat, then knelt on one knee during the anthem. His reason for doing so has been clearly explained. He has been very honest about his actions and feelings.

Along the way, some people criticized him, and the handful of other players who joined him. This year, the occupant of the White House decided he wasn't getting enough attention, and blasted them (in a tweet, natch), calling each of them a "son of bitch", and demanding they be fired.

As expected, that revved things up a bit. The following Sunday, the "protest" ramped up exponentially. Entire teams stood with locked arms in solidarity. The Pittsburg Steelers stayed in the locker room. Some of the Cleveland Browns had a prayer circle - which had to really confuse the God & Guns crowd.

Cue the outrage from the armchair warriors.

Velveeta has taken up yoga as a hobby! It’s quite relaxing and restores inner peace and serenity, especially if one does it with doctor approved meds that keep one calm in these trying times. During this morning’s yoga tenue I found myself relaxing into a deep meditation which propelled my consciousness on a journey leading me to a profound revelation. I was awakened to a utopian concept that would benefit all mankind; especially making America great again.
