Reply to Bush invites Senators and Press to Gitmo.. in War on Terror JoeUser Forums

I have a better idea...send the President, Vice-President, SecDef, DeLay and the rest to Iraq and let them camp out in a foxhole for a month and then participate in urban warfare for another month. Undoubtedly, they will return with a different attitude about war other than avoiding the draft. I would be the first to jump for Gitmo if a journalist since the military would put on quite a dog and pony show for the press in lieu of all the negat

No Child Left Behind only added another layer of paperwork to an educational system already overburdened by such. Secondly, the funding process wasn't perfected and many school districts had to do without due to the law's imperfections. Like Bush, it was perhaps a good idea, but wasn't thought though to a logical conclusion. As a result teachers, students and administrators suffered due to added accountability without the funding necessary to hire a

Computer Retraining With Minimal Risk in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

There are many sentimental possessions which must be evaluated after long ownership for either refurbishing or the dreaded "donate to charity." You have an older computer in you room trembling whenever the "donate" word is mentioned and is carefully calculating the tearjerking story of long and faithful service in spite of your foul-ups. We all come to this point and

Reply to MishMash-And So It Begins! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Obviously, I am more aware that Richard Nixon passed on than perhaps you since he was met on January 15, 1970 while pinning a medal on me. Of course, the purpose of satire is up to the reader to interpret and you have taken the more serious approach rather than dwell on the subtle irony. I appreciate your correction of sorts, but must ask you to loosen up, chill out and enjoy the roses. Take Care and Bush still needs to find some kind of pea

MishMash-And So It Begins! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

And so the dance of truth begins between the imperial White House and investigators seeking answers to questions few want to give. 31 years ago this same time of year marked the crescendo to another corrupt administration; that of Richard M. Nixon. Both Republicans and Democrats alike were fed up with his criminal acts and a gallant bipartisan group of politicans mar

President in a Bubble held a news conference yesterday regarding his low ratings and more released British classified documents showing a preconceived Iraqi war. We pick up where PIB (President in a Bubble) is speaking from the White House press room podium: PIB : Well, good morning. I am the President, you aren’t, accept and believe it. There has bee

Reply to Misguided President in International JoeUser Forums

The War on Terrorism...yet extremist right wing groups were omitted from the Homeland Security annual report on threats. If Iraq was such a threat, then why did Gen. Schwarzkopf negotiate a ceasefire ending DeAsert Storm allowing Sadaam to keep his weaponry and airfleet? Why did a soldier do a diplomat's job? If we are serious about winning hearts and minds in Iraq, then why aren't the most trained, most qualified and most educated a

MisMash>Believe At Your Own Chosen Speed in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Sponge Scott McClellan, President In A Bubble's Press Secretary, cannot keep up with the latest variations of policy emanating from his own White House. You can't help, but feel sorry for him being placed in a position where he has to continually spin against an increasingly hostile press corps. So let's create a typical news conference with Sponge Scott:

Reply to Torture Is Another Word For Gulag In Bush Lexicon in Current Events JoeUser Forums

My thanks to both of you for posting replies. The USS Nimittz, Navy Times, 6 June 2005, page 14, 16 sailors were busted for metamphetaine use and distribution aboard ship. Not only were they speeding during duty shifts, but making a hefty profit from their shipmantes and ports visisted. All were court-martialed, fined, confined and received bad conduct discharges. Sorry, SERE training was a cakewalk compared to other courses passed.

Torture Is Another Word For Gulag In Bush Lexicon in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Our beloved President In A Bubble recently stated it was absurd to label our Gitmo and Abu Ghraib prison facilities gulags. His statement intrigued me since awareness his readings extended into Russian literature past the teletubbies is surprising or perhaps he picked it up from Valentin Putin. Either way, its doubtful he really understands what a gulag is. A

Eva's an elegant beauty and with Arnold playing with her we got part of the old beauty and the beast identification in a humorous manner.

Thanks all for the comments. Woodward and Bernstein confirmed Deep Throat yesterday, but no one has brief the President yet on Watergate much less on the human character of Deep Throat.Pointer George could become the star of a movie remake of Boy In A Bubble.

White House Reveals Deep Throat Connection in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Sponge Scott McClellan, Pointer George's press secretary, read an official statement today regarding the unveiling of Deep Throat. The President made a mea culpa earlier in the day by declaring the movie had never been seen nor did he know what it meant. McClellan justified this with all the hard work accomplished by the President taking its toll on his sleep. Apparen

The Local VA Hospital in Current Events JoeUser Forums

©C.R. Hovey, 1974, all rights reserved I finally went to the local VA Hospital for help. My mind was near the breaking point, sleep was a luxury and most thought my behavior was strange to say the least. I slept on the hard floor and roamed the farm pasture at night spooking our dairy herd-at last they gave more milk! The county sheriff, a family friend, had

Memorial Day in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Today is Memorial Day. A time to reflect on those who gave their lives in service to this nation. Its a twenty-four hour period which normally finds me hold up in my place, withdrawn, thinking about those friends that died in Vietnam, suicide or later due to lack of adequate VA medical treatment-politics of the living. This is not a political rant, but rat

The Real Estate President in Current Events JoeUser Forums

So, in my best Irish broque, I say, tell me it isn't so!! The President of the United States George W. "Pointer George" Bush is now into real estate. He stated today that billions would be save with the closing of these bases, but was he really honest? I'm not a financial whiz, but his statement reaks of disbelief. Its like telling someone its all right

The Understanding in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I spent about 3 years, 9 months, 2 days, 47 minutes and 32 seconds in the service of my country during the Vietnam War. Too many months had been spent in places where killing was regarded as natural as breathing and some had to choose the difference. Good friends, brothers, were lost and I didn't know what for when I returned-that is, my physical being returned, but m

Reply to MishMash Goes Wild in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Thanks, ParaTed2K.....actually, you're the first to ever say that to me. It is appreciated. Kingbee, I agree with you in principle, but wonder what would have occurred if the British had won our Revolutionary War; of if the War of 1812 had went the other way; if the Japanese or German had succeeded in occupying this nation. To me it has always been appreciating the sacrifices men and women have made for this nation while making a better life
