There you go again... insulting assholes. No. The place I'm in has a controversial connection to Ol' Ronnie Boy |
How about thast stupid Bitburg visit he made?
Part way down in this reference Bitburg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia are some intersting points about this visit, such as: This planned visit caused a great deal of anger outside of Germany. Many prominent government officials, U.S. Army officers, and celebrities, protested the planned visit. Concentration camp survivor and author Elie Wiesel spoke out on the topic at an unrelated White House ceremony, saying, "I... implore you to do something else, to find another way, another site. That place, Mr. President, is not your place." 53 senators (including 11 Republicans), signed a letter asking the president to cancel, and 257 representatives (including 84 Republicans) signed a letter urging Chancellor Kohl to withdraw the invitation. Former Army S/Sgt. Jim Hively mailed his World War II decorations, including a silver star and a bronze star, to Reagan in protest. The Ramones recorded the song "My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes to Bitburg)," which alludes to Bedtime for Bonzo and Bonzo Goes to College, two movies from Reagan's film career that co-starred a chimpanzee, and Frank Zappa recorded "Reagan At Bitburg". Robyn Hitchcock's song The President from his album Element of Light also makes reference to the incident. This struck me as a strange reference: EJ388623 - The Controversy over President Reagan's Visit to Bitburg: Strategies of Definition and Redefinition. Abstract: A brief narrative description of the journal article, document, or resource. Examines transformation and transcendence as rhetorical strategies of definition and redefinition, in the controversy surrounding President Reagan's plan to visit the German war cemetery at Bitburg. Contrasts Reagan's scientistic perspective with his opponents' dramatistic perspective, and explores their clash in three dimensions: time, space, and judgment. |

PITTSBURGH, PA? |
Wow, you're good, unc. That's where I was going to go and you found me before I even got there! ....that's Erie!!! You're up, bud.

Are you a country boy or a city boy?
|
Yellowstone National Park?
|
city boy by residence, country boy by heart
Tul, while I'm not there this time, I love Yellowstone...some of my fondest memories of personal adventures were when I was there for a week by myself, mid Spring before the tourists arrived and the place was just barely starting to wake up from Winter. OK, where in the world am I? ...since we've been dancing in the WH, I am in fact in the WH. |
nh?
|
yes NH
|
les etats uni?
|
No, por supuesto, no.
|
canadia?
(tully, mac, and them are just hangin' back while i do all the 'grunt' work...) |
not canadia
(unc, good luck solving this one before those hangin' backers get wind of it)...extra clue just for you: not Mexico, either. |
Is it generally cold there in the winter?
|
island?
|
East of the US mainland coast line.
(sorry UP been busy lately, tho I do like you doing the grunt work) |
man, "grunt" reminds me of the sound pigs make and so now I'm hungry for bacon!
It's always warm here. Yes, an island. Yes, east of the U.S. coast. |
bermuda?
|
Quote:
Since UP said Bermuda can I say specifically Bimini? |
agreed, "grunt" sounds like more of a military word than a bacon word, especially now that I had some sausage for dinner
So not Bermuda, or Bimini. |
Within 400 miles of the US coast?
|
yes, within 400 mi.
|
nassau?
|
Ja makin me crazy
|
not Nassau, but in the Bahamas. I'm at a specific place that is of unusual geologic and visual interest.
Jahmaka nah. |
Are U on Montserrat at the Soufriere Hills volcano?
|
san salvador, home of columbus' first stop?
|
Are you south of 40?
|
coldhands, Montserrat is not in the Bahamas.
unc, not San Salvadore...this is a natural geologic feature, not a town/city/building or other man-made thing. Tul, all of the Bahamas are south of the 40. In fact, the Bahamas are all south of the 30. |
How about the Great Bahama Bank (and I don't mean a savings and loan)?
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...009.jpg/600px- |
Opps, missed where you said you were in Bahamas.
Let me think... |
inagua national park on great inagua?
|
not inagua, not let me think
but coldhands, while I'm not at the Great Bahama Bank, where I am is in the photo you posted...I'm waving "hello" but you probably can't see me since I'm so small |
the third-longest barrier reef in the world, off andros island?
|
nope, but that is a fantastic natural wonder...man, I love the Bahamas!
Where I am is on Eleuthera. |

|

|
|
You are on land, right?
