2007-08-11 21:31:00 Back by popular demand its the Passi onate America Podcast #102. Wild Bill and Big Mike discuss getting rear ended by an illegal alien on a trip to Texas and winning the lottery. Update: The podcast seems to be working just fine, however podpress is messing up to layout of my theme on the post page. I am working to try and get the problem fixed. Hope to have it fixed soon. Update #2: Alright I got it fixed! Looks like the podpress and diggIT plugins do not play nice together. I have removed the diggIT plugin (Have not really been using it anyway.) If you have podpress installed on you blog and you are using the diggIT plugin you might want to check if the 2 plugins are messing each other up. More About: Humor , Nate

Jack Bauer To Torture Viewers By Going Green - 24 Reasons To Never Watch 24
2007-08-07 23:04:00 Some people think Global Warming is destroying the world. I think environmental wackos are destroying happiness as we know it. Their newest target, the TV show 24. Saving the world from evil terrorists is a waste of time according to the global warming crowd. Jack Bauer should use his world saving powers to convince earth destroying business owners and evil Republicons to change their light bulbs and their evil ways. The Washington Post reports : Jack Bauer’s Next Mission: Fighting Global Warming From “An Inconvenient Truth” to popularizing the Prius, Hollywood has helped lead the way on some environmental issues. One of the latest initiatives: Cool Change, Fox’s company-wide program to reduce the network’s impact on global warming.

2007-08-02 18:09:00 My great friend and blogging buddy Justin from Right On The Right is trying to raise money so that we can go to the Gathering Of Eagles 3 on September 15th, 2007 in Washington DC. We will be standing up against A.N.S.W.E.R. on September 15th and countering their anti-war protest. We will be blogging the event and have lots of pictures to share with you.

I love being there for my kids, but I’m starting to forget how to talk to adults. Also you can checkout my advertising page, all money collected from advertising here at Passionate America will be used to get us to Washington DC. More About: Wild , Wild Bill , The Gathering
I Was Murdered In A Past Life Today
2007-08-02 14:37:00 (via Free Republic) On This Day In History August 2, 1876 : Wild Bill Hickok is murdered “Wild Bill” Hickok, one of the greatest gunfighters of the American West, is murdered in Deadwood, South Dakota. Born in Illinois in 1837, James Butler Wild Bill Hickok first gained notoriety as a gunfighter in 1861 when he coolly shot three men who were trying to kill him. A highly sensationalized account of the gunfight appeared six years later in the popular periodical Harper’s New Monthly Magazine, sparking Hickok’s rise to national fame. Other articles and books followed, and though his prowess was often exaggerated, Hickok did earn his reputation with a string of impressive gunfights. After accidentally killing his deputy during an 1871 shootout in Abilene, Texas, Hickok never fought another gun battle. For the next several years he lived off his famous reputation, appearing as himself in Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West show. Occasionally, he worked as guide for...

Wild Bill vs The Star Wars R2D2 Mailbox
2007-08-02 14:28:00 My brother Big Mike left a voice mail on my cell phone and told me that there is a Star Wars R2D2 Mailbox at one of the post offices near our house. Well that will not stand. First they replace mailboxes with droids, then whats next, people? I loaded up the family and headed out to destroy the R2D2 mailbox. More pictures… My idea was to have my 3 year old son sit on the R2D2 mailbox, crushing it with his weight, while I made funny faces and pointed at it until it ran away. Nothing we tried worked, R2D2 was not afraid of us. Hell if the little trashcan is not freaked out by Yoda’s pointy green ears and Frank Oz like voice then why did I think I could strike fear in his transistor heart? Next time we’ll have to get Darth Cheney to use the force of Haliburton to create a war on the metal bastard! P.S. Notice the sign right above the mailbox. Here is what it said: THIS BUILDING DEDICATED TO PUBLIC SERVICE 1988 RONALD REAGAN So that explains it, the little mailbo... More About: Pictures , Humor , Wild
