Last week Missouri's U.S. Congressman, Todd Akin, hosted his 13th Independence Day Celebration at his home. Some of the more notable guests were dressed in old fashioned costumes reminiscent of yesteryear. This is likely the last time he will host this annual event because he is moving and will have a much smaller yard! Some one seemed to think I resemble Dolly Madison. OK, so not quite, but I do love my country as she did. Many attendees dressed in period costumes. There was plenty of fun, food and good company. Here I am with Doug Edelman, political blog commentator and owner of Edelman Computer Services. Chris Brown is president of the Missouri Republican Assembly. John White, the 7^th District Councilman from the St. Charles County Council, looked so authentic in his "Blue Coat" costume! Let me introduce you to U.S. Representative Todd Akin's mother. You can find me this weekend at the O'Fallon parade on Saturday and the Wentzville parade on Sunday. For information regarding the O'Fallon parade, click here: Heritage and Freedom Fest, and if you want information for the July 4, Wentzville parade link here: Wentzville Calendar Event . FYI: The MO House is in the middle of its special session. I will have more to discuss after we know what bills have passed. A Little Bit of Humor . . . 72 WHAT? When Osama bin Laden died, George Washington met him at the Pearly Gates, slapped him across the face and yelled, "How dare you try to destroy the nation I helped conceive?" Patrick Henry approached, punched him in the nose and shouted, "You wanted to end our liberties but you failed." James Madison followed, kicked him in the groin and said, "This is why I allowed our government to provide for the common defense!" Thomas Jefferson was next, he beat Osama with a long cane and snarled, "It was evil men like you who inspired me to write the Declaration of Independence." The beatings and thrashings continued as George Mason, James Monroe and 66 other early Americans unleashed their anger on the terrorist leader. As Osama lay bleeding and in pain, an angel appeared. Bin Laden wept and said, "This is not what you promised me." The angel replied, "I told you there would be 72 Virginians, not virgins, waiting for you in Heaven!"
