A little subtle, eh?

The issue here is that the GOP is using war talk to take people's minds off the economy, which is headed into a very large, deep tank.

Poking fun at The Little Monkey is something that's impossible to pass up, but he's soooo vulnerable.

(I have a friend who was a defensive end in the NFL for seven years. I asked him how he managed to stop chasing quarterbacks when the whistle blew. He said, "It's hard. They're sooo soft!")

At any rate, as the German said, it's a classic trick, and one that was predicted long ago. GWB would try to start a small war before this November election and a bigger one before the next.

And some of us think there is more than enough to do here at home without "preemptive aggression" against a country who isn't a threat.

NASDAQ breaks basement

China attracts more foreign investors than US

A war will be expensive, the gov't will have to borrow more money, much more, interest rates will rise, and investment slow. And the economy will head farther into the tank.

Didn't mean to sneak it past anyone. Talk about issues!!
