Thank you, I guess, but Please, Lindy... Take pity on me and Shoot me if I ever do.

Hmmm. I always thought decrepitude could be measured by who you think is a whippersnapper. If, at 30, I am a youn'un... Well, hmmm...

As for how they treat me, I must say that it varies. I do try to give all that I am given, sans bullshit ;-)... I think that pretty much explains my relations with Tom, Larry J and SDAI.

As to our occupation. Now that we have done this deed, we must follow through as best we can. While I am horrified that we are in Iraq, I sipmply pray that we can make it better and leave with honor, dignity and our soldiers intact.

However, the batting average for this administration is, well, not exactly enviable.

If only we could get Clinton back, and have a COMPETENT liar whose dishonesty did not slay 10-15,000...

(oh, yeah, sure... the dishonesty is not proven. But like the WMD, you have to be making pretzels not to just throw in and call a spade a spade at this point. Just like those who agree with the "is" quibble)
