The story you don't hear:

(This happened the day before the Marine shot the wounded terrorist.)

The Liberal-biased media is QUICK to air the story about this Marine that shot the wounded terrorist. But you can BET they won't tell THIS part of the story since it doesn't serve to tear the U.S. and Presdent Bush down.

-----------------------------------------------------------

- A young Marine and his cover man cautiously enter a room just recently filled with insurgents armed with Ak-47's and RPG's.

There are three dead, another wailing in pain. The insurgent can be heard saying, "Mister, mister! Diktoor, diktoor (doctor)!" He is badly wounded, lying in a pool of his own blood.

The Marine and his cover man slowly walk toward the injured man, scanning to make sure no enemies come from behind. In a split second, the pressure in the room greatly exceeds that of the outside, and the concussion seems to be felt before the blast is heard.

Marines outside rush to the room, and look in horror as the dust gradually settles. The result is a room filled with the barely recognizable remains of the deceased, caused by an insurgent setting off several pounds of explosives.

The Marines' remains are gathered by teary eyed comrades, brothers in arms, and shipped home in a box. The families can only mourn over a casket and a picture of their loved one, a life cut short by someone who hid behind a white flag. But no one hears these stories, except those who have lived to carry remains of a friend, and the families who loved the dead. No one hears this, so no one cares.

Live from Little Rock, it's The Biggest Loser Show, starring Al & Tipper Gore (above -- others not shown due to space and pixel limitations), Bill & Hillary Clinton, Jimma & Jocelyn Carter, John & Teresa Kerry, John & Elizabeth Edwards, Tom & Linda Daschle, and secret guests: Aaron Brown & Candy Crowley.

The biggest winner is "The Biggest Loser" in this compelling new Democratic doctrine weight-loss drama in which top political experts and myriad left-leaning pundits help the contestants transform their bodies, health, platforms, and ultimately, their policies.

In this series competing couples will attend comprehensive indoctrination sessions on how to satisfy rural Christians, angry white males, families of war criminals in Iraq, soccer and SUV moms, free speech advocates, Swift boat vets and Vietnam POWs, Jewish friends of Israel, NASCAR dads, and a host of other groups provided with inane labels by the Mainstream Media.

The contest will require each to undergo radical political and mental makeovers. Unique psychological challenges, surprising alliances and irresistible temptations make the competition even tougher for the contestants, who ultimately have to decide which players get eliminated each week. In the end, "The Biggest Loser" is the one who sheds the most ideological baggage.

"The Biggest Loser" is a production of Terry McAuliffe and the DNCs.

They don't ask you for any ID in California. I'm not sure what they require when you register.

Little girls are loud! :)

Have fun with your family. Have a great weekend.
