The United States Marines
If you watch football or read conservative blogs, you have already seen this ad. Watch it again; I think it is missing something:
If the streets of heaven were there, I missed them. Unless they led to the farm. They might have been near the farm. Or possibly through the small town. Or maybe underneath the Tetons. Maybe one of those.
Semper Fi. And congratulations to the Marines for their powerful viral marketing mojo.
CWCID: Cassandra (who, by the way, faked her retirement again).

"If the Army and the Navy ever look on heaven's scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines."
It's the third verse of the Marine Corps hmyn.

TH,
It is an awesome ad.
And as for Cassandra, being female she is allowed to change her mind more than once if the situation calls for it - though you have to admit is sure is nice to have her around.
Running away...

This ad received attention at MichelleMalkin.com, because the City of San Francisco (one bureaucrat in particular) would not give permission to the Marine Corps to film with the drill team in downtown SF, saying that it would be too disruptive. Of course, other similar location shots are granted to applicants other than a branch of the military, so it smelled of the typical anti-military SF politico attitude. The Marines in the SF shots are superimposed into scences originally shot without people (which you would think would set off another section of the truther-type tin foil hat brigade).

What a kind thing to say, Country Squire.
I should, perhaps, have finished deleting my site as I originally intended. That was why I did it.
Oh well. A lack of foolish consistency generally provides the opening for all kinds of subsequent humiliation.
