No, that's her tail, it slithered out unexpectedly.
Check out the pumpkin-orange rouge.
BTW....it's Her Heinous' birthday today.

It looks like a vampire bat's head mounted on black taffeta to me.

When is the 'Silver Dome' rally??!!
Why is it all these Rat governors get away with talking about how horrible things are in their states...and blaming it on Dubya?!
Jennifer Granholm, Michigan, comes to mind.
And Ed Rendell in PA. Tom Vilsack, Iowa.
Jim Doyle, Wisconsin. Richardson in N. Mexico.
And----ta da!---Jim McGreevy, N.Jersey!
Tomorrow. I'll find out what time and post it. HLL got her "red" tickets (on stage with GWB!) yesterday.
We have a new Freeper from Poland---"anonymoussierra"! She posted #3 on this thread:

Her English is poor, but she has a charming message.
I replied to her in #12, but she didn't understand the word "charming", so I had to tell her it means "nice".
Anyway, go over and offer her warm regards for Poland's contribution to the war on terror. Maybe we should invite her to join the Guild....but she may not understand the humor.
Her name is Sara.
Hammering Effin' on his disrespectful treatment of our allies apparently works. I just heard a sound bite of Kerry from today,,, "this administration almost going it all alone..."
Bwahahahaha!
At the Pentagon, an official who monitors developments in Iraq said U.S.-led coalition troops had searched Al-Qaqaa in the immediate aftermath of the March 2003 invasion and confirmed that the explosives, which had been under IAEA seal since 1991, were intact. The site was not secured by U.S. forces, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Link
Arnie to campaign with W, Laura and the girls on Thursday in Ohio...
Great photo of Cynthia....fingers crossed for her, she has run a good campaign from what I have seen on her website.
So very true!
Lookie here! A CBS 2003 story:
U.S. troops found thousands of boxes of white powder, nerve agent antidote and Arabic documents on how to engage in chemical warfare at an industrial site south of Baghdad. But a senior U.S. official familiar with initial testing said the materials were believed to be explosives.
Col. John Peabody, engineer brigade commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, said the materials were found Friday at the Latifiyah industrial complex just south of Baghdad.
"It is clearly a suspicious site," Peabody said.
CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin reports that the hunt for weapons of mass destruction continues at sites where the U.S. thought chemicals weapons might be hidden.
"And although there are no reports of actual weapons being found, there are constant finds of suspicious material," Martin said. "It obviously will take laboratory testing to find out exactly what that powder is."
The senior U.S. official, based in Washington and speaking on condition of anonymity, said the material was under further study. The site is enormous and U.S. troops are still investigating it for potential weapons of mass destruction, the official said.
"Initial reports are that the material is probably just explosives, but we're still going through the place," the official said.
Peabody said troops found thousands of boxes, each of which contained three vials of white powder, together with documents written in Arabic that dealt with how to engage in chemical warfare.
He also said they discovered atropine, used to counter the effects of nerve agents.
The facility had been identified by the International Atomic Energy Agency as a suspected chemical, biological and nuclear weapons site. U.N. inspectors visited the plant at least nine times, including as recently as Feb. 18.
The facility is part of a larger complex known as the Latifiyah Explosives and Ammunition Plant al Qa Qaa.

"I just heard a sound bite of Kerry from today,,, "this administration almost going it all alone..."
I heard it too. LOL, he's desperate and it shows.
I haven't been able to follow the al QauQa (All KaKa?) story much. So I don't get the point of your find.
Doesn't that mean the cache WAS there when our troops arrived? If it's now missing, can they pin the failure to secure on OUR troops?
Help me...I've fallen on this story and I can't get up!
I HAVE heard enough to conclude two things:
1) Dangerous materials seem to have BEEN IN Iraq...and are now missing.
2) Most likey they went missing due to the diplomatic slowdown leading up to the war----i.e., the "global test" may have put us all in more danger.
Area Republicans are sponsoring a "No More Michael Moore Boycott" Tuesday at Boomerang's Bar and Grille prior to Moore's speech at Memorial Field House at 9 p.m. Boomerang's will exchange unused Moore tickets for free drafts of beer. rest of story
That's my kind of rally
"...speaking on condition of anonymity..."
That's code word for "making it up."
I understand that the weapons, if they ever were there at all, were long gone by the time the first American soldier set foot in the area, although Kerry and the media are trying to imply U.S. forces let the stuff be stolen right from under their noses.
