Hey Mayor, thought you might like a chuckle to break up your afternoon.
Hubby just called me to tell me he bought me a present during his lunchtime walk..."Unfit For Command" at a post election reduced price of $5.
Hubby goes on to give me a synopsis of the little he has read so far.....only 1 out of 20 some fellow servicemen supported Kerry, Kerry put in for his first purple heart himself, no fire occurred when he claimed to have earned the purple heart, etc., etc. (Info that we informed freepers knew all during the campaign.) Hubby's final comment, "How did this guy even have the nerve to run?"
Needless to say Hubby is one of those who used to poopoo FR but usually asks me what is going on knowing full well that FR is my first source for news and opinion.
Hubby was also convinced by me to vote for W.
Hubby is on his way to receiving auxilliary freeper status (several steps below full freeper status that requires true allegiance to the site!)
We will Pray for him!
He will come around, you're doing a Fine job!
You are doing a great job!

Thought I'd post this as it was just mentioned on Linda Vester.
Cpl. Joel Chaverri, a combat photographer also known as Kodak.
Lance Cpl. Michael Oliver Ray, from Sarasota, Fla. The division moved into an industrial area of Falluja after fighting their way through the north where insurgents have taken hold.
Marines push deep into a southern part of Falluja where the last elements of insurgents are holed up.

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15, 2004 -- U.S. soldiers operating in the Iraqi city of Baqubah were attacked today by insurgents using rocket-propelled grenades and small arms.
U.S. Army 1st Infantry Division soldiers were patrolling near the city's Mufrek traffic circle and police station when they came under fire, some of which came from a local mosque.
Iraqi and multinational forces later searched the area around the mosque and found 29 RPG rounds, three RPG launchers, two mortar systems, 10 mortar rounds, and several hundred small-arms rounds.
At about the same time, Baqubah's Buhritz police station also came under insurgent attack. In addition to the two attacks, insurgent forces operating in Baqubah were reported to be emplacing improvised explosive devices and blocking roads.
Multinational forces kept contact with the enemy, and MNF aircraft dropped two 500-pound bombs on insurgent positions.
Local Iraqi government officials have coordinated with Iraqi security forces to keep Baqubah secure.
Four American soldiers were wounded during the attacks. Two of them have been returned to duty.
Elsewhere, the situation in Mosul remains relatively calm, with only isolated attacks occurring in the city.
Special Iraqi Police Commandos and multinational forces repelled a Nov. 14 insurgent attack on Mosul's 4 West Police Station. Anti-Iraqi forces do not occupy or control any police stations in Mosul.
Meanwhile, the mop-up of insurgent forces by U.S. Marines, Army soldiers and Iraqi security forces continues in the city of Fallujah. During a Nov. 14 visit to Fallujah, U.S. Army Gen. John Abizaid declared that U.S., coalition and Iraqi forces had all but finished the insurgent resistance in Fallujah.
"There will be nowhere left for the insurgents to hide," the chief of U.S. Central Command vowed, noting, "We will fight them until there are none of them left to fight."
