From Pam's Coffee Conversation: What Happened To Pink?:

As my long time readers know, I am a football fan -- American football, soccer, even the occasional rugby match. So I know that someone was wondering when I was going to mention this.

What happened to Pink aka Alecia Moore?

We now have Faith Hill singing the opening to NBC's Sunday Night Football.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of Faith but there was so much hype over the fact that Pink was singing the opening song during the 2006 season and now she's suddenly disappeared.


I know that Pink isn't highlighting Billboard's charts these days but Hank Williams certainly hasn't had a top 100 hit every year of Monday Night Football. Oh well, I guess NBC is trying to appeal more to the cheerleader oggling types. Or maybe, someone thinks that Faith does a better rendition of the song?


I wonder if it had anything to do with this:

From Pam's Coffee Conversation: Honor Them!:

Honor Them!

According to CNN:


"Two U.S. soldiers whose signatures appeared on an op-ed piece in The New York Times critical of the war in Iraq were among seven Americans killed in a truck accident outside of Baghdad, family members said Wednesday.

Staff Sgt. Yance Gray and Sgt. Omar Mora were members of the Army's 82nd Airborne Division, based at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

Gray, Mora and five other soldiers died Monday when their truck overturned near the Iraqi capital, U.S. officials said.

Gray and Mora were among seven soldiers, mostly sergeants, who wrote the op-ed piece that appeared in the Times on August 19. It called the prospects of U.S. success 'far-fetched' and said the progress being reported was being 'offset by failures elsewhere.' "


There is a line near the end of the movie Gladiator which goes: " Is Rome worth one good man's life? We believed it once. Make us believe it again. He was a soldier of Rome. Honor him. ..."


Is the United States of America worth the lives of the seven courageous soldiers that spoke out in the New York Times ? We believed it once. Make us believe it again. These were soldiers on the United States of America. Honor them.


Bring their brothers and sisters home.
