    Random Recitals

    They serve so that we don't have to. They offer to give up their lives so that we can be free. It is, remarkably, their gift to us. And all they ask for in return is that we never send them into harm's way unless it is absolutely necessary. Will they ever trust us again?

    Sign the Public Letter to President Obama

    GAZA, GAZA STRIP – NOVEMBER 25:

    Dear Mr. President,

    Last year, you were swept into office on the hopeful promise of redemptive change.  You inspired the nation by repeating the phrase, “together, we will change the world.”  For many Americans, your words were not merely the final lines of a campaign speech, but a call to action for a new [...]

    McCain Reminding Us Again Facts Do Not Matter

    (ItS aLL AbOuT LoVe) — JoVi RoCkWeLL

    Rove McCain does good work here. He even gets Couric to edit his interview so that we do not find out once again about McCain’s faulty memory with regard to our illegal, immoral occupation of Iraq.

    But the media is biased towards Obama, right? Always accuse others of what is actually [...]



    Brian Baird is a Flake – Part II
