Busch is the Best

I love this place, i cant believe its coming down. You can only imagine my joy when i came across a mission that also involved drinking beer and eating hotdogs in the middle of a Cardinals game.

Cards vs Astros

They should be building Busch Stadium of the 21st Century!

Busch is the last of the cookie cutter, multi-purpose stadiums of the 60's. 3 Rivers, The Vet, Riverfront, and Fulton County are already history. Those other Stadiums deserved their fate of implosion. All of them were just plain ugly, bad turf, small bathrooms, seats in strange places, and a complete lack of taxpayer provided luxury boxes needed to protect the elite from the masses. Busch Stadium is a visually pleasing structure, the use of arches in the roof fits the theme of St. Louis. Every seat is a good seat. Being able to see only the tip tops of the skycrapers reaching for the stars gives the feeling of watching a baseball game while floating in the sky. Since the grass was added, and the seats moved closer Busch Stadium feels more like a ballpark then those cookie cutter coliseums ever dreamed. Stadiums of the last 15 years have been built in the throw-back style started in Baltimore with Camden Yards. Now everyone has one, and soon the Cardinals will have another form of the cookie cutter field. The new Busch Stadium was an opportunity to break the rules, update the mold, and create a new style for a new century, but no. Lets hope the Show-Me how, we'll do it better slogan holds true for the new Busch Stadium, just like it did at Busch Classic.

On the topic of sports, check out Kurt sporting the new Big Red threads. I cant wait for the Cardinals and Warner to stomp the Spams this year!

Some funny stuff here at Democracy for You, but using GW's speech writing adlibs is pure joy.

I like Ike!!!

"Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United States corporations.

This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence – economic, political, even spiritual – is felt in every city, every Statehouse, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."

Dwight D. Eisenhower, January 17, 1961.

These words are as important today as ever.

That was an excerpt from Ike's Farewell address. This is the man who commanded the largest invasion army the world has ever known. Then directed that force to liberate a continent. Not only did General Eisenhower command the largest and most modern war machine of the time, he was a man on the hotseat as President during some of the greatest changes in American society. The beginning of the highway system, television, mass consumerism, the suburbs, and on and on... The American experience for the last 50 years has been trying to live up to the picture of "America" painted during the "I like Ike" years of the 50's. Please take the time to read the rest of the speech.

Ike was a pretty cool dude, check this for more info on him.

Stay tuned for more in my presidential speech series.
