The troops need some "warm and fuzzies" like the folks in Washington D.C. enjoy - don't they? (Too bad the troops don't get the same Secret Service protection, benefits, retirement, and healthcare.) Railroaders and corporate execs could surely contribute chefs, and recipes for fine cuisine..... and if not their vendors will supply them - FOR FREE (with a $$$ contract, of course.) Tons of food from corporate and elite parties is thrown away. Perhaps they could send it to the troops for Christmas?
Wouldn't that be generous?
The only way they would get invited to the white house is if the war was moved there. The troops will get the usual KBR Listeria Buffet. Cheney should remember he's not the only one who's got a gun.
Instead, their children will probably end up in some "nut-house" government, tax-force-funded institution, under-educated, addicted or in poverty, getting their blood checked for "science" -- force-medicated, and guinea-pigged for the medical "societies" ..... and bill-boarded at "ELI-LILY's" site as the Poster Child for "HOPE."
(And GULF WAR SYNDROME is REAL... so "WAS" Agent Orange Poisoning.)
"I love my country: 'tis the Government I'm afraid of."
NEVER, EVER go to Wyoming to "Elk Hunt." My uncle did that. He died in 1966, "heart attack." AGE: 39.
And right you are to fear a government whose actions are not driven by the best interests of its people.
PS: Why don't the lobbyists throw in a few chocolate- covered-strawberries for the troops and their families? White chocolate, at least? It's cheaper, for GOD'S SAKE. The "Troops" are guarding their bank accounts, RIGHT???
Calamity are we kin? ;-)
At least. Greed knows no bounds.It will be difficult this Christmas for the families of the troops. My daughter is in England now with her AirForce husband, not even in danger, but I still miss her alot. I cannot imagine if she or my son were over there.
At least we think alike, my friend, Calamity. My warmest wishes for your family.
My warmest wishes to you and your family as well. I look forward to the day when we will be free of this whole mess. I feel ashamed of our country sometimes.
So do I, Calamity: Maybe the Lobbyists can purchase some sort of justice with their international/banking corporate backing, and profiteering designs: - they seem to have a free "reign" when it comes to "crafting laws." Rest Assured: their bank accounts are well guarded, their children's futures secured: with American children they care NOTHING about: spent at war on the front lines, guarding their booty.
I just can't believe that Cheney's retirement stock in Halliburton went up like 1000% after we invaded Iraq and nobody saw a conflict of interest. What is that about?
my my seems like the paddy me boy is feed up
I felt so bad about the whole blood for oil deal that I sold my excursion and bought an economy car!
feed up? what's that?
my my
you you
I can stay up later 'cause it's only 11:30pm on the west coast. Nighty night!
Fitz I'm glad you explained the posting at the bottom. Peaches didn't get any of that. In fact the food was late and not that good. So the White House is eating good the troops well let's just say the pictures don't tell the hold story. Our military pick one place to film for the media to report to Americans the rest of the troops get what ever is cheap.
good night everyone.Love to all.And peace.
Ummm, can anyone spell I R O N Y:
Mexican Wedding Cookies
Do those cookies come with immigration papers or a Green Card?
I have insomnia; I better stop before I am really naughty. ;-)
Homeland Security will give anyone insomnia:
More fun for travelers
Are we at 11 trillion in debt yet?
How to cook up a bioweapon; a "Stealth Disabler": Add 3 parts mycoplasma and one part borreliae to a teeny-tiny hard bodied tick. Pharm them back and forth between livestock, rodents, and ticks, until the mycoplasmal virulence antigens "take" to the borreliae, and ignore the local seabirds.
Then ya got both a permanent brain infection, plus the arthritis. The victims are doubly disabled.
Then blame the victims.
Oh, and Have a Nice Day. ☺

I knew that wasn't for the troops, I seen Bobblehead on the tube yesterday stuttering about the Christmas trees..."the trees are red this year and of course, green because of um, um, the the trees are green."
The Bushes will be busy with 50 Holiday parties. Think they adopted a poor family for the season?
I think the Bushes would be shocked at how many people in this country that do not have a fancy dinner or any gifts because they simply do not have money. They do not ask to be adopted, give can goods when the kids come around to collect for the Christmas boxes, are more concerned about heating their home or even getting it winterized.
I bet it is in the millions, we didn't use to be like this. We are part of the "strong economy" that isn't so strong.
Does the President and his Mrs. even know how many of the troops' families have to go to food banks every week to eat anyway? Does he think because he is pictured phoning 10 soldiers after he fed his gut that we all should think how compassionate he is about his troops? Wonder if he thinks about the 9/11 victims' families Christmas? About our troops or allies' families that have an empty chair at the table or the families that will be told their loved one is never coming home? Does he think about the hundreds of thousands of lives he has destroyed? No, he has 50 parties/events that are more pressing. "Deck the Halls and Welcome All"

Why is "Holiday Menu For The Troops..." posted twice?
Good Morning Everyone:
Happy Friday! :)
So, what do those idiots in the White House think they are... Kings and Queens?
I'll be glad when my tax dollars pay for real public servants in our WH!
Have a good one all! :)
P.S.
The troops deserve that meal more than anyone!
BRING OUR TROOPS HOME NOW!!
Phoenix airport to test X-ray screening
PHOENIX - Sky Harbor International Airport here will test a new federal screening system that takes X-rays of passenger's bodies to detect concealed explosives and other weapons.
The technology, called backscatter, has been around for several years but has not been widely used in the U.S. as an anti-terrorism tool because of privacy concerns.
The Transportation Security Administration said it has found a way to refine the machine's images so that the normally graphic pictures can be blurred in certain areas while still being effective in detecting bombs and other threats.
Good Morning,
Fitz that should make everyone mad. I got an article from a parent and she said her son was told to go on patrol he's a 23 year old-Marine. The five supposed to go "just said no-forget it-they were not going on any suicide mission, go ahead and lock them up cause they'd be safer in the brig. One said "yeah we're already in Iraq, where's the worst place you can send us?" (They didn't go, either)
Stupid Bush-illegal war breaks down military discipline and moral. He would know that if he had studied anything about war.
Jackie I hope all the troops are getting enough. Soldiers tell me the food was edible barely.
Gee I would popped in last night had I known everyone was up late;-)
CalamityJane, I'm happy to hear about your car deal. The troop I told smiled.
mfso will be in DC Jan 3 and 4 making sure the new elects don't drop the ball...
Have a great friday all, I'm meeting a gf for coffee later today in the city-sun is shining, but might snow later today.
normally graphic pictures can be blurred in certain areas while still being effective in detecting bombs and other threats. Guess what TSA- I'm not impressed!

President Bush's face expressed fear in dozens of different ways at his press conference in Amman. For President Bush, fear looks like a slight widening of the eyes together with a slightly crooked half-grimace in his mouth. It is a look that sent shivers through my spine when I saw it in the C-SPAN video--the look of a man who not only does not understand the answers to the questions being asked, but does not understand the reason they are being asked in the first place.

Well, hey, it's the People's House. We're all invited. Come on down, ya'll. Surely, the First Lady has order enough prepared to feed us all, eh?
Mr. President, Have Pity on the Working Man
We've taken all you've given
But it's gettin' hard to make a livin'
Mr. President have pity on the working man
We're not asking you to love us
You may place yourself high above us
Mr. President have pity on the working man
I know it may sound funny
But people ev'ry where are runnin' out of money
We just can't make it by ourself
It is cold and the wind is blowing
We need something to keep us gong
Mr. President have pity on the working man
Maybe you've cheated
Maybe you've lied
Maybe you have finally lost your mind
Maybe you're only thinking 'bout yourself
Too late to run. Too late to cry now
The time has come for us to say good-bye now
Mr. President have pity on the working man

This and look at the picture of the American soldier with his child in the upper corner, Iraqi children have the very same type of birth defects from depleted uranium.
Compliments of the DOD under the direction of 41, 42, and 43.
Good Morning/Afternoon Fitz and the Justice Bloggers! :)
GREAT NEWS TODAY! BOO YAHH!!
GOOD CHOICE PELOSI!! *)
AP: Pelosi Taps Reyes for House Intel Chair
By Justin Rood - December 1, 2006, 10:32 AM
AP reports:
House Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi has chosen a Porder-Patrol-agent-turned-congressman to take over the House Intelligence Committee, according to congressional aides.
The two aides, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they considered it an internal party issue, confirmed that Democratic leaders are contacting congressional and other political officials to tell them Rep. Silvestre Reyes, D-Texas, will be the new chairman of the committee when Democrats take control in January.

Fitz,
I heard there's a foot of snow on the ground...
However Wind is what gives Chicago the name:
THE WINDY CITY!..
That's probably why there's no little grandmas living there that are under 4 foot 7...
They've all been blown away.. :)
Hee hee hee!

Here's some news about the weather folks..

ITALIAN SECURITY EXPERT WHO MET RUSSIAN EX-SPY TESTS POSITIVE FOR RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCE, BRITISH MEDIA REPORTS

radioactive_poison_said_found_in_
2nd_man/
Sky Television and the British Broadcasting Corp. reported that the Italian, Mario Scaramella, tested positive for a significant amount of polonium-210, the rare radioactive isotope that was found in Litvinenko's body.
Scaramella met with Litvinenko at a sushi bar in London on Nov. 1 -- the day the former intelligence agent first reported the symptoms that ultimately led to his death at a central London hospital.

Sounds like a scene from James Bond movie..

Bush Top Gun?
A short flash film on Bush's own military service, done with a little humor. Did you know he was promoted to Lt faster than any military person in American history? Yet the media never questioned his very questionable military service record. He has been photographed wearing medals he did not earn-I can't believe the generals would listen to him without serious dissent. Might be a different ball game if there were more female generals.
Hi S-Q and Geffy:-) bbl
Morning Tee!!!
Yeah, gerbils daddy bought life and comforts tell a lot about his ability to lead..
We might as well have a chimp up there in the WH pressing buttons like in the old NASA rocket tests..
Like Biloxi says:
CHIMPSTER!!

Thanks for the video but I feel sick now. The Gerbil does that to me..
Tee,
I just saw the vid and I agree with s-q..
Blech...
All these Chicken Hawks would pee in their pants if they were given a rifle and told to defend our country from Invasion..
Yet these people think they can lead a nation...
Yep, Lead a nation alright..Right into ruins..
And ambien is the head Chicken Hawk with 5 DEFERMENTS!!
Bwahahahahahahaha!
New thread..
Yep, Lead a nation alright..Right into ruins..

GEF:
That's exactly what they have done GEF!! I am hoping we will see a change beginning early next year! :)
Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening folks!
TGIF!
And let's not forget the today is AIDS awareness day. I had gooten an email marking Dec 1.
The holiday menu? And you know that I would never be invited by the Gerbil and company. I'll stick hamburger and beans, thank you very much.. We know that it is a selective people that will be attending that event and grubbing on the food. And guess who has to pay for this? The taxpayers! Waste of money. He should have save money by getting some McRib sandwiches... And the Gerbil can have that expensive holiday menu and the troops get crapola. That really concerns me.
GEF:
Just for you.
I just don't want to hear you bitching and moaning about paper ballots.
Look at all that cheese on the menu. I hope they all get constipated!!
Hee Hee Hee...
Oooh Thanks for that Biloxi!
Paper Ballots! YEAH!!!!
*Cheers*
