"I looked around the table at my satin-cheeked boys - I mean, not one of them shaves yet - and saying I was damned if I was going to send any of them to Iraq.

Hmmm. Has anyone let this mother know we have a volunteer military? Her sons aren't going to be sent anywhere to fight unless they enlist.

Silly women. Nuff said.

Don't be messing up a good pinko story with facts. We all know (OK- Feel), that Bush is bad, and our feelings must be right.

What really frosts me is that we let these people vote. We need some kind of test to screen out the feeble minded......

Satin-cheeked? Satin-cheeked? I read A LOT, and I have never, ever, read this turn of phrase before; let alone heard it said by any person in real life. "Not one of them shaves yet?" That's a stretch too, how many Americans in casual conversation speak like that. None of them shave yet, they don't even shave yet, that I would believe, if it weren't for the satin-cheeked bit before. Who is these kid's mom, Frazier Crane? I do not believe that this woman, or any one, actually said these words. I would absolutely have to hear this remark on tape in order to believe it.

For some women (I know a few) that's problem enough. These boys may 'escape' the draft (because it's not being used) but the, oh the horror, what if the boys choose in the future to serve -- clearly mommy doesn't like that idea.
