You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them. - Ray Bradbury
I am a native eastern Oregonian, and have lived here 50 of my 62 years. I left at 20, but was back by age 32 to be near my parents to help them in times of need. I don't fit in politically here because I view things from a decidedly left wing perspective... but that's o.k. because I love the people, I love the area and for the most part I like living here. I enjoy family time, listening to music, reading books, traveling, bird watching, hiking, backpacking, watching movies, keeping up on politics, watching sports, sitting at the computer so much I get sores on my ass, and playing music... if you need a band for your party or celebration, let me know; I play keyboards and sing for a rock and roll band, and we do mostly "classic rock". (I also like to play guitar and bass and other instruments, but those are for my private enjoyment only!) I am mainly an agnostic/skeptic, but would consider myself spiritual. I work in schools and in clinical settings as a speech/language therapist. It is enjoyable work and it pays some of the bills. I have a rather unpredictable sense of humor, which can get me in trouble at times, but hey, is life worth living without laughter? I think not!

Nugent is a selfish S.O.B. and hare-brained egomaniac. He thinks he's really something. I think he's the scum of the Earth, and that I'm being charitable allow him that much.
Ted Nugent is the fastest baddest guitar player in history. Just ask him; he'll tell you.
He's basically a little kid who will do anything for attention. Of course, I guess you could also say that about pretty much all the Tea Party politicians.
Great find. I just re-posted on my blog, too.
I loved how Nugent accused the DoD of trampling on his right to free speech when they cordially uninvited him to some event. It wasn't retaliation on the part of the DoD. It was simply a bid to keep someone crazy away from the big guns. After what he said about their Commander in Chief, the only place he deserves to be in any military base is a museum, and there, not to give a talk, but to enjoy learning about the history of actual heroes who actually fought for something greater than themselves. Pensacola has a great one: the National Museum of Naval Aviation. Or maybe he's just a loudmouthed asshole.
