    This is awful, just awful. It occurs five years to the day that Bush stated "Mission Accomplished".

    What is the over/under for the amount of time that ti will take McBush to say this is a sign of progress.

    Double suicide????
    The DC Madame had employees in Iraq?

    This is horrid and frankly it makes me wonder if this really is an accident OR what was said to this woman to make her want to take her own life at this point in the investigation.

    Poll: More disapprove of Bush than any other president

    The poll also indicates that support for the war in Iraq has never been lower.

    OT, does anyone else find it interesting that the headline about Barbara Walters having an affair with a 'senator' leaves out that he was African-American? Just sayin'.

    Another curious (ahem!) suicide:

    R. Gregory Stevens
    the very day he died, he had "planned to have brunch and tango lessons with [Ms. Fisher and] other houseguests.

    Hunter S. Thompson

    Heck of a surge. Last throes. Turning a corner. Greeted as liberators.
    Chocolates will be thrown. Will hardly cost US a dime. Another six months.
    Support the troops. Flower petals will be thrown. Saddam tortures.
    Fighting them over there. Pre-emptive war. Shock and Awe. Green Zone.
    Six days, six weeks, I doubt six months. Very few, if any, casualties.
    The oil will pay for the reconstruction. Safe as an Indiana farmers market.
    Insurgents. Iraq will not need sustained aid. Iraq has tremendous resources.
    Low hanging fruit. Mushroom clouds. The good news stories. Rosy predictions of success.
    Five years later, McSame old shit.
    MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

    Why are there still suicide bombers in Iraq if Iran is providing so many weapons? {snark}

    This is horrible...how many Iraqis have been killed as a result of an invasion based on lies? THEY DON'T WANT THE US THERE.

    pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Repeat after me..."We are making progress in Iraq." Rinse, lather, repeat.

    House Minority Leader Boehner says it's a small price to pay.

    OT, but--Exxon/Mobil reports an increase in first quarter profits of 17%, or $10.9 billion--but not up to "expectations" so their stock went down a bit.

    Christalmighty, these greedheads just can't get enough, even by strangling their customers.

    I haven't bought Exxon gas since the Exxon Valdez incident, and probably never will. Trying to cut back on all gas to a tank a week (12 gal) or less.
