| Yeah, so I never post here anymore. Not that anybody read it anyways. Ha If anybody does ever read this, and wants to keep in touch, go to www.myspace.com/willhaggard Or email me at the_haggard@hotmail.com or both I am heading to Reading, PA... Fairfax, VA.... and somewhere, Maryland this coming weekend. Part of the Trace Adkins "Dangerous Man" tour. I can't wait, can you tell? Our road manager and I named our portion of the tour "The Harmless Men" tour. I am looking forward to getting our "Harmless Men" tour passes. Anyways, if you're close, come by. Let me know. Good times. God bless J | | |
| I never post on here anymore. I have left it behind for Myspace, I guess. And I guess I'll leave that behind when the next best thing comes along. Who knows? Not like I post regular blogs over there. It's more of an e-mail thing to me. That and catching up with folks.
I got a job with Craig Morgan, the Country singer. So I travel with him and his band. It's about to get crazy busy here in June and won't really slow down until the fall, and then it'll only slow down if we don't add dates or start touring with someone else. I have a feeling dates will be added or something, so I should stay busy at least until Christmas.
So if anyone reads this and want to see me, go to his website and find out when we'll be in your general area. I am the merchandise monkey. I sell t-shirts and mess around with people. It's a cool gig.
We're going to Texas this weekend. We'll see how that goes. The first gig is a rodeo. I have never been to one. It's going to be weird. He is like the half-time entertainment. I know cowboys don't technically have 'half-time,' but they're doing a little rodeo, a little music, and some more rodeo.
Now, I am about the furthest thing from a cowboy, so I have a feeling I'm going to end up pissing a cowboy off or something and that I am going to get a boot up my rear. So pray for me.
Holler if you want.

| - AmandaI might have a job and it might mean I get to travel constantly. We'll see. Either way, I moved back to Nashvegas. Left Memphis behind.
Peace | | |
| I think I am moving back to the Nashville area. Memphis sucks. I am going for an interview at Epiphone Guitars on Tuesday. So good thoughts to me would help.
I hope everyone is doing well. Same ole same ole here.
Johnny Damon is dead to me

| - 1983... (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)
THE VICE PRESIDENT: "As most of you know, I have spent a lot of years in public service, and first came to work in Washington, D.C. back in the late 1960s. I know what it’s like to operate in a highly charged political environment, in which the players on all sides of an issue feel passionately and speak forcefully.
In such an environment people sometimes lose their cool, and yet in Washington you can ordinarily rely on some basic measure of truthfulness and good faith in the conduct of political debate. But in the last several weeks we have seen a wild departure from that tradition.
And the suggestion that’s been made by some U. S. senators that the President of the United States or any member of this Administration purposely misled the American people on pre-war intelligence is one of the most dishonest and reprehensible charges ever aired in this city...
Some of the most irresponsible comments have, of course, come from politicians who actually voted in favor of authorizing force against Saddam Hussein. These are elected officials who had access to the intelligence, and were free to draw their own conclusions.
They arrived at the same judgment about Iraq’s capabilities and intentions that was made by this Administration and by the previous Administration. There was broad-based, bipartisan agreement that Saddam Hussein was a threat … that he had violated U.N. Security Council Resolutions … and that, in a post-9/11 world, we couldn’t afford to take the word of a dictator who had a history of WMD programs, who had excluded weapons inspectors, who had defied the demands of the international community, who had been designated an official state sponsor of terror, and who had committed mass murder.
Those are facts.
What we’re hearing now is some politicians contradicting their own statements and making a play for political advantage in the middle of a war. The saddest part is that our people in uniform have been subjected to these cynical and pernicious falsehoods day in and day out. American soldiers and Marines are out there every day in dangerous conditions and desert temperatures – conducting raids, training Iraqi forces, countering attacks, seizing weapons, and capturing killers – and back home a few opportunists are suggesting they were sent into battle for a lie.
The President and I cannot prevent certain politicians from losing their memory, or their backbone – but we’re not going to sit by and let them rewrite history.
We’re going to continue throwing their own words back at them. And far more important, we’re going to continue sending a consistent message to the men and women who are fighting the war on terror in Iraq, Afghanistan, and many other fronts.
We can never say enough how much we appreciate them, and how proud they make us. They and their families can be certain: That this cause is right … and the performance of our military has been brave and honorable … and this nation will stand behind our fighting forces with pride and without wavering until the day of victory.
