Today is Veteran's Day 2008.
The pain never goes away. We need to bring our troops home. . . NOW.
They did what they were asked to do, many paid the ultimate cost. Currently at 4193 U.S. Military Deaths and over 30,634 U.S. Wounded.
Today is a day to HONOR all VETS but especially the Iraq Vets.

I'm going to make this short today cause I need to spend some time boxing my books upstairs for their trip downstairs.
I also want to move a rack from my garage. So much work. . . so little time.

ONE LAST THING
PROPOSITION EIGHT IN CALIFORNIA
Finally tonight as promised, a Special Comment on the passage, last week, of Proposition Eight in California, which rescinded the right of same-sex couples to marry, and tilted the balance on this issue, from coast to coast.
Some parameters, as preface. This isn't about yelling, and this isn't about politics, and this isn't really just about Prop-8. And I don't have a personal investment in this: I'm not gay, I had to strain to think of one member of even my very extended family who is, I have no personal stories of close friends or colleagues fighting the prejudice that still pervades their lives. * *TOP TEN

BUSHED
Keith Olbermann has listed the various scandles in the Bush administration. Here are three more.
Who's benefitting from the bailout? Nov. 10: In September the Bush administration repealed a 22-year-old tax law, Section 382, allowing banks that merge a windfall profit of as much as $140 billion. Countdown's Keith Olbermann talks about how that repeal was snuck into the bailout bill, as well as the Federal Reserved refusing to identify recipients of emergency loans in the bailout. * *WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD
Keith Olbermann picks the three worst persons in the world.
Bill-O botches blame (again). Nov. 10: Fox News' Bill O'Reilly made the ACLU the latest target of his anger for not speaking out about the probe into Joe the Plumber's personal information. In Worst Person in the World, Keith Olbermann points out that the ACLU did, in fact, issue a statement that must have gone unnoticed by O'Reilly. * *DOGS RULE - YOU CAN SEE THE LOVE

PRETTY GOOD JOKES
BUMPER STICKERS FOR LIFE
WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?
DR. PHIL: This chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his current problems before adding new problems.
MY KIDS
My God I love dogs.
BTW, what good is a picnic table if you can't lay on it?
