The Dos Equis guy gets my vote, then. Much better politics, too.

Thomas Kincaid except for the "enriched himself from a war he started" part.

If that's the itinerary DFW-> Cape Canaveral -> outer Space - > Houston , then it makes more sense. Hopping a Gulfstream seems somewhat less pricey.

So, Meredith Iler, head of Helpingahero.org and former wife of Congressman who gives a shit, we hear you are "coming after us," Eddie Wright and I if we continue to tell the truth about how you treat wounded veterans like chattel existing only to benefit you then throw them to the side if they are not compliant or useful in raising you more money. We made some real nice photo ops for you and shook a lot of politicians hands because we wanted to pay it forward. Eddie threw on his dress blues at your last minute requests countless times to promote Helping a hero and to help raise money and awareness for a mission we believed in. We were good enough for you to put us on Fox and Friends, the Glen Beck Show and the cover of every newspaper in the Houston Metro area when we raised you money and got you what you wanted-recognition. Heck, Eddie was good enough for you to plaster his image on every HAH Gala invitation, Program, brochure and your website. Good enough for you until he called you out and resigned from the board over his concerns. As soon as he wasn't compliant with your demands, all of a sudden you slander him maliciously for the next 3 YEARS every time his name comes up in conversation to the same people you used him to help you seek donations from? Interesting. I'm sure some people believe your lies. You're so great at spinning them.

We played your game because we wanted to help raise money for other veterans, not for YOU. Heads up. You are supposed to be serving the veterans, not the other way around. The wounded warriors you are fucking with, they aren't afraid of a fight. You know that slogan from the old recruiting poster, Marines, First to Fight? That's not just a catch phrase, it's a way of life. You picked a fight with the wrong Marine. So, you want to come after us? Bring it on lady. But before you do, you might want to swing by the Harris County District Attorney's office and drop off the financial documents you are busy trying to pull out of your arse. They were due last week, and I think they might be important.

Why does that painting always remind me of the movie "Psycho"?

Yeah, but he was at least an artist. One of Manet reasons his is better, if still physically dumb.

I was figuring it was because he got disabled veterans to fly it, and they had to hire a bunch of extras to flap the wings to get enough lift.

May I suggest: Fck him with a Hellfire missile.

The Bushes are unburdened by conscience and devoid of humility.

Sick and cynical to invite Bush 43 and his blood soaked hands to any event for Iraq war veterans.

Fck Bush with a Hellfire missile.

Because it was painted by a murderous, pro-war psychopath?

Bush is a vampire with an insatiable thirst for war spilled blood.

Doubt he even casts a reflection in a mirror.

They should have strapped Bush to a drone and released him over Houston.
