I wonder if Dick Cheney wears a flag pin? Does anyone recall the impassioned "patriotic" speech he made during the acting president's run for his 1st term?

Quote: "I never fly into Washington and over Arlington cemetary without getting a lump in my throat at the sight of the crosses there representing our war dead."

There are no crosses in Arlington. They are rounded markers.

Screen writers treated more like "factory workers?"

How snobbish can we get? Screenwriters, like factory workers are necessary to their industry. Factory workers are not a lesser breed than writers.

Just in a different occupation.

The phony "reporters" do not surprise me. Most of the media seem to consist of "reporters" who are merely posing as newsmen/women.

How else did George Bush get elected?

Bill Maher has it nailed. The GOP found long ago that the way to keep people in line was to plant the seed of fear.

And just look what they have harvested!

Dead bodies row on row (both U.S. and Iraqi), an invasion that has turned into a civil war, a possible war with Iran, "contra ctors" (that were in reality mercenaries) to keep everyone "over there" in line, alienation from most of the free world's thinking leaders and the list goes on.

The administration started long ago with a failed Attorney General, a color charted terrorist guide that made home security seem humorous, and practically finished us off with Donald Rumsfeld.

The record reads like a comic book. But it 'taint funny.

Dogs may be smelly, nibby, not house broken, and ill mannered at times but they are not sneaky.

They are loyal, loving, understanding, accepting, uncomplaining, and the best friend one can have.

They have personalities plus and are exceptionally smart. I have a golden retriever who is much smarter and much less violent than most of the people running the country.

Now, if he'd just learn to come when I call him!

The only sneaky plan he has is how the hell to get out of the fenced yard. I'm confident he'll figure that one out soon. He would have had us out of Iraq looooong ago!

It matters not which Republican candidate is "macho." We've had macho up to the neck. it matters not which candidate is the most "religious" or the most compassionate or the most patriotic...or the most of the most.

We just very simply cannot afford any GOP boosters or boasters "leading" our nation. We cannot suffer them either politically or morally or in their version of patriotism.But there is always that fear eating at my guts...

'nough said.

I watched Andy Griffith re-runs.

It's all according to what re-run you choose to view.

I would suggest that instead of waterboarding, the proposed "victims" be forced to listen to the ramblings of radio talk show host-- dumber than a box of Rocks, Michael Reagan.

Then let President shit for brains wrap it all up with a comment...that'd do it!

Cheney, as usual babbles and rambles. I'm afraid his bubble is about to burst.

Let's hope.

The Cheney's have lived off the American people all their lives while purporting to be good patriotic citizens. It is time he knew that his "bubble" is no longer protection from his crimes he has committed against humanity.

Oh, how I wish we could rid ourselves of this parasite.

Are you saying the world has gone to the dogs?

Ah! If only this were true, what a beautiful world it would be!

Let's not blame these loyal, loving creatures for the actions of some screwed up humans.

What to say about Bush et al?

Sic 'em!

Ophrah has ruined lots of things---all for the sake of the lime light. Why does a woman with a Hollywood mansion featuring 15 bathrooms and 10 fireplaces need to cross a finish line to prove anything?

Greed?

Hillary is right---they're afraid of her because she's winning. She has been knocked around since the 90's---remember Barbara Olsen and her insidious diatribes?

Hillary has a plan, a strategy. guts and know how...get used to it---as for the kitchen, put another log on the fire!

Go Gal!

What a disappointment George W. must be to his father. It almost makes you feel sorry for him.

I had always heard that Bush "found" Jesus at a piano bar in Houston, Texas. "Jesus" was Jesus Romirez and George stumbled on him when he tripped over the piano after having one too many.

It is purported that the drunken Bush asked the man his name and when informed that the pianist's first name was Jesus, exclaimed...."Hey look---I've found Jesus!"

Mr. Romirez informed the stumble bum that he was not lost.

Neither is Jesus!

Tim Russert has been after Hillary Clinton for a loooong time. I decided that Tim Russert was a shill for the anti-Clinton clique when he interviewed her about 4 years ago and had the insensitivity to question her about her feelings involving her husband's affair with Monica Lewinski, a topic that did not concern the subject matter.

Senator Clinton was most gracious, disguising her true feelings toward Mr. Russert, I'm sure.

I would not have been as unflappable as she. Mr. Russert toyed with her emotions like a cat with a mouse.

In this case, through her composure, she was the mouse that roared!

Tim Russert tried to make a name for himself. He succeeded.

The Democrats are "unwilling to govern"?

And I suppose the Republicans are.
