Congressman Charles Taylor to receive Award!
Last night, the phone rang so hard it jumped off the hook. I could not believe what I was hearing. The 11th District Congressman Charles Taylor will receive the first ever Liberty Bell 7 Award!

This award was created for the sole purpose of honoring those government employees, just like Astronaut Gus Grissiom, who get scared and blew their hatch too soon! This award is for nothing less than being a total failure at ones endeavors.

Although the Liberty Bell 7 now is on display in Washington, DC , Taylor and press Secretary Deborah Potter whii take the 7 hour trip by boat to where it was lost at. At that point and time Taylor, who by the way will be under guard of Seal Team 6, will be briefed, given a set of swim fin’s and a mask without a snorkel! He will also be allowed a 100 pound lead belt.

At the entry point Taylor must follow a rope tied to a buoy the 1900 feet below the surface to retrieve his award. Now for the hard part, the rope he follows down is tied to a 100 pound container of horse & dog crap which he must bring back to the surface with him! Actually, that is the award! We will keep you posted!

Let's heap scorn and ridicule on Charles Taylor like there is no tomorrow, but let's take it easy on old Gus Grissom.

"If we die, we want people to accept it. We're in a risky business, and we hope that if anything happens to us it will not delay the program. The conquest of space is worth the risk of life."
-Gus Grissom

Lieutenant Colonel Virgil Ivan "Gus" Grissom was part of the space program from its beginnings, but not until after he volunteered for duty in WWII (too late) and flew over 100 combat missions in Korea. He was one of the original Mercury Astronauts, the first man to fly in space twice, and the commander for the first Apollo flight. Yet, this hero is too often remembered for screwing the pooch. In this day and age when paper lions like George and Dick run our country, we should give a fond Hu-raah to the likes of Gus Grissom, a real American hero.

Monkeys? You think a monkey knows he's sittin' on top of a rocket that might explode? These astronaut boys they know that, see? Well, I'll tell you something, it takes a special kind of man to volunteer for a suicide mission, especially one that's on TV. Ol' Gus, he did all right. Chuck Yeager in The Right Stuff.
