How about a ‘mass graves for Lebanese’ one?

I apologise if I come across as too sarcastic and heartless, but that’s probably because right now my heart is actually breaking. And it hurts like hell.

I too recommend Doctors without Borders and Catholic Relief Services for people who want to donate to humanitarian efforts.

Thanks so much, it is a very good day with a lot of work ahead of us. I went to the county clerks office yesterday for a little introduction and an offer to help out. I mentioned my prior work experience as an election inspector, not my experience as a candidate, some other time. When I offered they asked my party affiliation and I replied first with I don’t worry about party at the booth just a fair open participation. They were very nice and mentioned a lot of rural voting situations are covered by one Republican, no other people at all. So country progressives please check in with or call your county/parrish clerk soon. The clerk mentioned Dems and Reps are allowed four representatives each at a polling area, so shifts might be a possibility. Planning on going back next week for more face to face. Progressive Democrats here are fighting diebold in every way at every level. Someone has to be near the polls.</p> angie, Read your kind comment in PUchaire’.

My answer is this.

IF SENATOR LINCOLN CHAFEE WANTS TO WIN in Rhode Island, he better reconsider his qualified support of John Bolton last round. The BOLTON VOTE will be blaringly large in the eyes of Rhode Islanders — all of the other votes on judges and Supreme Court appointments are a blur now — but Bolton is NOW and Bolton is news.

Lincoln Chafee better get ahead of this one. Last time he was dragged through and became a victim of his indecision — caught in a vice between Vice President Cheney and the many who were trying to speak to the more enlightened sides of him.

TWN will have much more on Chafee, his statements on Bolton, and why this matters to Rhode Island soon.
