28. I'm glad a few folks here are paying attention -

I used to joke that Dick Cheney made the Bin Laden video tapes in his basement.

I am most angry when I think about friends who have sons in the military - kids who are there because opportunities in this country for our youth include (1) being born wealthy (2) being born smart - student loans follow and you are locked into "middle class" "professional" until you pay them off (3) "you want fries with that?" for $7/hr or (4) military

And how many of them will die this time?

I have to give them credit for theatrics - on the eve of 9/11 no less ...

How could anyone possibly disagree?
