They're Gonna Put Me in the Movies

They're gonna put me in the movies
They're gonna make a big star out of me
They'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I gotta do is act naturally...

Dubyas sending saddam a big bottle of Rid Lice for Christmas ,we don't want him to go to the firing squad scratching his head.

[mikegi]

Has anyone heard who we killed on the first night of the war? We thought Saddam was there and bombed the heck out it. I haven't read anything about this raid since it occurred. I wonder if we were close or just got bad info.

I'll probably be getting offline soon, until a few hours later anyways. I just want to say I will see the Presidents speech.

Reelection is just about sealed.

Checking in & waiting for the speech!

We're a little early, aren't we ?

My wife who usually doesn't watch the news, watched Fox News for awhile this morning, and she made a very interesting observation. She said:

"This is so typical of President Bush. He is not saying anything nor appearing on tv. He is letting the guys who caught Saddam be the prime time tv focus."

[Diddle E. Squat]

Interesting dynamics in the news today, really sorting out the professionals from the pretenders. For instance(and I have to give him credit on this), Tom Brokaw did a devastating intro to Howard Dean's videotaped reaction, noting that he had been against the war and in June had said that we were not sure if the Iraqi's were better off without Saddam. Did a similar(though not quite as devastating) setup to Wesley Clark's statement. Also earlier today interviewed a reporter from Britian who discussed the 'Atta was trained in Iraq' story.

In contrast George Snuffalufagus was getting in his snide remarks, and Campbell Brown was completely stonefaced and sad-eyed. Hey Campbell, when is your daddy elible for parole?

[GeronL]

SPEECH WILL BE 15 minutes late
