1. but its only one guy during the election! Great news. NOT!

Someone here much smarter than I posted something about our keeping count, rightly or wrongly, and how it did not matter one bit what the totals were - the whole issue is all screwed up. EACH life lost is unnecessary. That poster - who ever you are - makes more and more sense.

10. Pile 'em high!

Grass Bush

Pile the bodies high in Austerlitz and Waterloo Iraq
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the grass; bush; I cover all.

And pile them high in Gettyburg Baghdad
And pile them high in Ypres and Vedum Mossoul and Al Fallaujah

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?

I am the grass bush.
Let me work.

Carl Sandburg

Please bring the troops home alive and not in pine boxes
