Merry Christmas from George Bush

Merry Christmas From George Bush
Your Son's Tombstone has Arrived
by Missy Comley Beattie

We have congregated in Kentucky for Christmas and like so many families, we are diverse. Although at my sister's house there's a decorated tree with plenty of bling and presents underneath, in the extended reaches of our family there are Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Atheists, Agnostics, and Christians. No Evangelicals, thank whomever.

This is a time to be together. My father and mother have said they're happiest when surrounded by their children and grandchildren. This year, my brother's youngest will not be present, although his absence will descend on our gathering and cover us like the flag that draped his coffin. His death in Iraq has changed us forever.

My brother called yesterday to tell me that Chase's gravestone had been set above his burial plot at The Lexington Cemetery. He had just driven to see it and these were his words to me: "It was brutal."

My thought was: "Merry Christmas from George W. Bush."

...."My family received a tombstone this week. I hope Bush's Christmas stocking is stuffed with pretzels."

1. More bullshit spelled out , as written by Ms. Beattie:

This invasion, its concept, is an improvised explosive device created by George Bush. When I see him touch his heart and say he suffers with all of us who have sacrificed, I hear no empathy. He is untouched. His eyes are as vacant as his words, the waving, and his skulking off to Camp David or Crawford. He will celebrate Christmas with a complete family, one that is intact because there is no member who is serving "this noble cause" that Bush continues to thrust on our world.
