Reminds me of the Simpsons movie where President Schwarzenegger was given several options and “encase Springfield in a giant dome” was the least cray one.

I didn't believe his presentation, and neither did he. I still recall Harry Belafonte calling him out at the time as an Uncle Tom for lying through his teeth on live television.

However, like you, I was devastated that Powell willingly flushed his credibility down the turlette in service to Dubya, who would never appreciate what he did.

Does it hurt more when military service is the only possible route to higher education and/or career training for those less financially secure? To be called to active duty because it was a risk factored in for those that can’t afford college?

It hurts--period. And it sucks that the only way you can get an education is having to sign up for military service just for the G.I. benefits to get an education.

Wouldn't it be nice if we had a country in which people could get a free college education. That might even make the electorate a little smarter when voting. What a dream.

The 4th estate is behind on their mortgage, okay. They need to get caught up on the arrears and stay current with their obligations, okay.

The current level of trust with this admin is somewhere near, large child in candy store. Meaning, they can't be trusted and they just keep stealing all the candy.

All I know is, that this is good news for the Bushies. Yellow cake is going to sound 100% plausible compared to the whoppers this crew is going to attempt to force feed us.

And yes, he is still impeached but now impeached and committing war crimes as an impeached for treason Preznident. What a Peach this guy is, or Mango or Cumquat.
