Be careful in that wind!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow: Three-year-old Julia Raczka and other children thrill to falling snow at the lighting of the Punta Gorda, Fla., Christmas tree. The snowflakes were faux flakes, of course, shot out of a snow-making machine, but nobody seemed to care.

There, now I feel better. I guess you can't expect caption writers who don't even know it's a weapon not a gun to get this right either. On another note, I watched a FoxNews show I had recorded the other night called "Breaking Point" with Greg Palcott (sp?) He was with the Marines -- India Co -- as they took Fallujah. He called them terrorists. And at the end, he said (not a direct quote) that we could be proud of our Marines because they were at once tough as nails on the enemy and compassionate to the innocent Iraqis. They were interviewing one Marine commander (sorry - don't remember rank) and he made a comment about how the terrorists were given the opportunity to surrender or die. He said when they chose to die rather than surrender that the Marines "obliged" them. These guys/gals are amazing!
