Almost seven years ago I sat, as did millions of other Americans, and watched as our government underwent a peaceful transition of power.
At first, I felt a swell of pride and patriotism as I watched George W. Bush take his oath of office. However, all that pride quickly vanished as I later watched the Clintons board Air Force One for the last time.
I saw 21 United States Marines, in full dress uniform, with rifles, fire a 21-gun salute to the outgoing President and first lady. It was then that I realized how far America 's military had deteriorated under the Clinton administration.
Every last one of those Marines missed....!

It has taken me that long to,1) get back off of the floor, 2) slow down on
the rapid out-burst of side-spilting, jaw droping laughter.
