Empire State Building turns red-yellow for China’s 60th
(AFP) – 19 hours ago
NEW YORK — New York’s iconic Empire State Building will light up red and yellow Wednesday in honor of the 60th anniversary of communist China.
The Chinese consul, Peng Keyu, and other officials will take part in the lighting ceremony which will bathe the skyscraper in the colors of the People’s Republic until Thursday, Empire State Building representatives said in a statement.
The upper sections of the building are regularly illuminated to mark special occasions, ranging from all blue to mark “Old Blue Eyes” Frank Sinatra’s death in 1998 to green for the annual Saint Patrick’s Day.
Just last week the tower turned bright red.
However, that was not to mark some other communist achievement, but the 70th anniversary of the film “The Wizard of Oz” in which Dorothy wears ruby slippers rather than the silver of the original L. Frank Baum novel.
I guess it makes sense, considering our continued move toward socialism in this country – that we would celebrate as comrades-in-armsdebt of this glorious occasion. And what better place to show our pride, than use a classic American icon as the platform.
I wonder if Obama’s gonna light up the White House, and post commie flags around the property, to mark the occasion too.
Just this week, the Sprint Foundation announced Brats Without Borders will receive a $20,000 grant to help fund Operation Military Brat’s educational outreach program. Hoorah for Sprint! Did you know that their CEO, Dan Hesse, is a military brat who went to Frankfurt American High School?’–”Brats Without Borders” newsletter.
I haven’t been feeling great the last couple days, so I’m not really in a mood to blog right now, but I figured I should at least post something.
Like Pearl Harbor, today is a day that should live in infamy.. not become just another day, 8 years later. Don’t just sing platitudes of “I remember”, or “I will never forget” each year on this date… remember the pain, remember the impact, not just that it was a day of terrorist attacks.
I will most certainly not forget, and while I believe in forgiveness, I will never in this case. I will always carry this hatred of these enemies, to the day I die. To those cowards that hide in those caves and mountains -> You just thank “Allah” that I am not in charge, in the oval office. We’ve got a lot of stockpiled high-yield weapons in our country, and I wouldn’t want them to go to waste now.
