It was soooo cool to see president George W Bush being treated so well by the people of Texas. This was a motivational/business seminar in Fort Worth Texas and the people of Texas gave Bush an awesome welcome. This cheap camera I had doesn't do it justice...I started filming a little late and cut the first part of his intro off....but the fact that you can't hear his intro and she has to yell tells you how loud it got in there. Not 1 person was seated....awesome to see the people of Texas give such a great reception for him.:) http://www.militarymemoryman.com
KN: It looks like some people miss Bush. Why would anyone miss him, he was so bad for 8 years, the worse. Now we have the best president ever. Must be just fools that like Bush. Ha,ha So many Bush haters and Obama lovers.

Larry David Blasted for 'Curb' Episode Where He Urinates on Jesus Painting
Comedian Larry David pushed the mocking of religion over the edge in latest episode of his HBO show, critics say.
Comedian Larry David is under attack from critics who say he pushed the mocking of religion and Christian belief in miracles over the edge in the latest episode of his HBO series "Curb Your Enthusiasm," which the cable network defended as "playful."
On the show's most recent installment, which aired Sunday, David urinates on a painting of Jesus Christ, causing a woman to believe the painting depicts Jesus crying.
Deal Hudson, author and publisher of InsideCatholic.com, said he doesn't find any humor in the episode.
"I don't think it's funny," Hudson told Foxnews.com. "Why is it that people are allowed to publicly show that level of disrespect for Christian symbols? If the same thing was done to a symbol of any other religions -- Jewish or Muslim -- there'd be a huge outcry. It's simply not a level playing field."
Hudson said an apology from the show's producers and writing team should be issued.
"Somebody should [apologize]," Hudson said. "When is it going to stop? When is common sense going to dictate that people realize this willingness of artists to do to Christianity what they would never do to Judaism or Islam?"
In a statement to Foxnews.com, HBO downplayed the controversy.
"Anyone who follows Curb Your Enthusiasm knows that the show is full of parody and satire," the statement read. "Larry David makes fun of everyone, most especially himself. The humor is always playful and certainly never malicious."
Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, also criticized the episode, saying David should "quit while he's ahead," and that the show is proof that the comedian's best years are behind him.
"Was Larry David always this crude? Would he think it's comedic if someone urinated on a picture of his mother?" Donohue said in a statement. "This might be fun to watch, but since HBO only likes to dump on Catholics (it was just a couple of weeks ago that Sarah Silverman insulted Catholics on 'Real Time with Bill Maher') and David is Jewish, we'll never know."
During Sunday's episode, David, who created, wrote and produced "Seinfeld," visits a bathroom in his assistant's home and splatters urine on a picture of Jesus. Instead of wiping it off, David leaves the restroom. Minutes later, David's assistant enters the bathroom and concludes that Jesus is crying. She then summons her mother to the bathroom, where both women kneel in prayer................
KN: It only figures. Christians are the punching bag / mocking target for comics and atheist. What would happen if Larry David did something like that to Jews or Muslins? He wouldn't.
