Open thread for Sunday, August 31st: My Way

  Here is the open thread for Sunday, August 31st; please feel free to post links to interesting articles and to discuss whatever issues arise during the course of the day. Nothing is off-topic here.

  Last week seemed like a slow week politically but we still managed to cover 15 stories. I understand that all of you are busy and cannot always find the time to check the blog for updates so why not subscribe to America’s Watchtower and receive email updates whenever I write a new post? That is the easiest way to follow the blog to ensure you never miss another post.

  In addition to subscribing you can also follow America’s Watchtower on Facebook and Twitter by clicking the links on the right. But you will get more than that for I often post links to articles I probably will not be writing about so it is a great way to keep up with what is happening.

  The Twitter widget in the sidebar is fully interactive. This widget updates my tweets in real time and allows you to respond to or retweet my tweets right from the blog. It also allows you to tweet me right from America’s Watchtower. How cool is that! If you do not have a Twitter account what better reason do you need to sign up for one!?

And now for this week’s musical selection: As I was watching television yesterday evening a car commercial came on and it featured Frank Sinatra’s ‘My Way.’ Except is was not Frank Sinatra’s version of the song, it was Sid Vicious’s version from 1978. Needless to say I was stunned to hear this version in a commercial and I knew immediately that I would have to use it today.

  I have not heard this song in many, many years but always found it to be amusing so here it is.

  You have been warned! Enjoy and have a Happy Labor Day.
