The National Tartan Day Midweek Open Trackbacks

Tomorrow is National Tartan Day. In 1998, the US Senate passed the following resolution sponsored by Senator Trent Lott (R-Ms.):

Whereas April 6 has a special significance for all Americans, and especially those Americans of Scottish descent, because the Declaration of Arbroath, the Scottish Declaration of Independence, was signed on April 6, 1320 and the American Declaration of Independence was modelled on that inspirational document;

Whereas this resolution honors the major role that Scottish Americans played in the founding of this Nation, such as the fact that almost half of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were of Scottish descent, the Governors in 9 of the original 13 States were of Scottish ancestry, Scottish Americans successfully helped shape this country in its formative years and guide this Nation through its most troubled times;

Whereas this resolution recognizes the monumental achievements and invaluable contributions made by Scottish Americans that have led to America’s preeminence in the fields of science, technology, medicine, government, politics, economics, architecture, literature, media, and visual and performing arts;

Whereas this resolution commends the more than 200 organizations throughout the United States that honor Scottish heritage, tradition, and culture, representing the hundreds of thousands of Americans of Scottish descent, residing in every State, who already have made the observance of Tartan Day on April 6 a success;

Whereas these numerous individuals, clans, societies, clubs, and fraternal organizations do not let the great contributions of the Scottish people go unnoticed:

Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the Senate designates April 6 of each year as “National Tartan Day.”

You heard the man. National Tartan Day’s tomorrow. Enjoy and celebrate appropriately.

Slappy done got slapped!
Itmust really suck to be the high and mighty and have to deal with lowly security guards. You know, the ones that are tasked with protecting you. Apparently that’s how U.S. Rep. Cynthia Slappy McKinney feels. It’s hard to conclude otherwise with her…

Cops in the classroom ?
Where is our society going when our schools have to be policed in such a way? God help us.

Well, I am a “music critic” of sorts…
I’ll put my critique of the piece as music elsewhere… maybe in comments, but I will say this, the lyric hook and the “Nyah-nyah” guitar lick are perfect for the piece.

Remember the Alamo
I’ve always loved cowboys. America is still full of the cowboy spirit.

The Florida Masochist:

Common sense prevails in Ft. Myers
In TFM’s opinion that’s the way it should have been all along. Browder’s decision was very dumb and I’m glad the board overruled him.

It tells me that we are on the verge of another domestic terrorist attack, and if it originates from one of these Jamaat-ul-Fuqra members we’re going to go through the embarassment of “Able Danger” all over again.
