#3 Very well said. We owe Specialist Fortunato to hold up our end of the deal he gave his life for. Y'all go out and vote for the warmonger on November 4th, so that his comrades aren't forced home before they finish the job. ;-)

#4 already did. And i feel better about that decision every day.

(i'll make a deal w/ all the Obama Drama Llamas out there -- you're free to bash Bush all you want. In return, i reserve the right to quote selections from my treasured book of Soviet-era Russian jokes daily until they ship me to Siberia!)

#6 I wish i had the money of Bill Gates or Buffett, I would buy the front page of the New York times and put that on it. Very well said indeed

#7 You would have to buy the New York Times lock, stock, and barrel. And then fire all the Editors and all the reporters.
