When the 1000 US Solider Dies
That is quickly approaching and it will be a tough time for this adminstration. I am just worried that the press will attempt to bury it.

1. They have shown, much to my dismay, that they will do anything to keep

2. Will it happen before,during,or after Bush's bomb-proof cage speech?
I don't spose any network would run it as a crawl at bottom of screen if it happened during.

6. I have an Idea
My Neighborhood association sponsors one of the largest garage sales in the mid-south.(TN) I am thinking about putting out 1000 little flags on my front lawn. With a sign that reads. How many more? Veteran for John Kerry
