I never ever envisoned him there anyway. Astrology says he’s done, so fork him. Somebody please tell him.

The spin to put on the Finegold/Reid bill is Vote Aye to support the troops, vote Nay to support Bush. Then in 2008, all those Bushies can be asked why they didn’t support the troops.

No flowers just leaves of things. Rain all this week with snow showers on Thurs and Fri.
I really, really want Spring to hurry up to northern NY!!!

Thats the end of a gun to the left onf Mc Cain’s head, isn’t it?
I don’t know about you, but we don’t shop with guns in our neck of the woods!

I agree with your point, although it’s not clear that’s a weapon; it may be the end of a boom for a microphone. This was a photo/media event.

What we don’t see are the armed troops surrounding the neighborhood, and reports said there were five helicopters, including two Cobra gunships, circling the area. That’s a huge amount of firepower that can be brought to bear within seconds.

And I rarely wear a kevlar vest when I go buy blueberries at the farmers market.

Perhaps faithful believer in the “free market” capitalism that he is…he is all for using exploiutative child labor, even orphans of parents who have died in the Iraq War, to provide the cheap labor to manufacture his “bargains”.

Maybe he considers the use of widows a great way to stimulate the Iraqi economy!

Perhaps he thinks that giving a few bucks to people selling off their family heirlooms in a wracked economy is just peachy-keen!

Or perhaps these were carpets salvaged from a home of a Sunni or Shiite family that were expelled from their homes by sectarian violence.

It’s incredible to believe that Senator Graham really believes he obtained those rugs at a “fair price” when the cost of materials was likely more than the $1 apiece that he paid.

Clearly Mr. Graham isn’t an advocate of “Fair Trade” coffee, unions, or anything other than rampant exploitation of those whose lives have been utterly destroyed by the consequences of war. Likely the few dollars earned went to pay for a little gruel for those kids.

I just hope that Senator Graham derives great pleasure taking off his silk slippers and walking across his newly acquired carpets when he and his wife get out of their down-feather beds every morning.

Good morning from CT. Crocuses finally up. I don’t think we can quite call it spring until the forsythias are blooming though.

John McCain is an obscene (fill in the blanks) liar. He has to be. I find it hard to believe a vietnam vet doesn’t know the difference between being able to shop like its a military reconaissance expedition, and shopping as in strolling down Chinatown at a leisurely pace, without fear of suicide bombers and snipers.

There are many different types of ‘Nam vets. There are those who actually were in country, fighting on the ground and seeing the good and bad of the actions. There are the REMFs who were in country but, although not necessarily “behind the lines” were not in continuous combat situations and there are the types like McCain who, prior to being shot down, dropped his load of bombs and went back to his ship without ever seeing the actual effects of his actions. The McCain types still believe that it was only because we lacked the “will” that we lost. Hence, his actions today.

Isn’t it interesting to see the comparison between Webb and McCain? Webb was actually on the ground fighting. He knows that war is hell. McCain only knows that war is hell because he was a POW. While I wouldn’t want anyone to go through what McCain did, it is obvious that their different experiences shaped their outlook.
