Just found out an old friend is deployed in Baghdad.

I haven't spoken to him in about 5 years, but we all know how that happens. I wondered if he might be deployed and I just did a search on his name. He came up on anysoldier.com. I just feel so sad and angry. :cry: I am writing him a letter now, but hardly know what to say. I guess I am just venting. Damn this war.

My cousin is in the military. Nervous, if and when that time comes when he's shipped to Iraq.

of the qualifications needed to be a politician!

"You know, I could run for governor but I'm basically a media creation. I've never done anything. I've worked for my dad. I worked in the oil business. But that's not the kind of profile you have to have to get elected to public office."
