9. Who would have thought they'd be old and gray and treated this way by

George Bush
Dick Cheney
Karl Rove
Michael Brown
Michael Chertoff
The entire US Congress who allowed this to happen in the first place so that pork projects that build bridges to nowhere are built and wars that do nothing for no one are fought

The Governor of Louisiana who could not make up her mind to fight in place of appease the WH

The Democratic leadership who did support the Dem Governor or the Dem Senator until way past the time of this poor woman's death

The local government who were so lost and frightened that they failed the test of humanity--the young and the old---first, always and forever.

Shame on our country....shame...shame...shame

97. Tina Connolly & her sons -

I'm sitting here crying - the grief and relief of those two boys is heartwrenching.

It shows all of us how much Bush's* insanity is deeply hurting so very many.

Bill Moyer, 73, wears a "Bullshit Protector" flap over his ear while
President George W. Bush addresses the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
(AP Photo/Douglas C. Pizac)

There's just something inspiring about Mr. Moyer's expression --

[MH1]

68. I'm still standing, tall and strong.

From inauguration day 2005. :cry:

But what a good lookin' man.

[Vektor]

69. A class act, for sure.

And cuts a dashing figure, doesn't he?

[MH1]

72. Oh yeah. Class act, definitely. That's why we all still stand with him,

I think.

Of course, I have to say, I *love* that blue scarf, too. Really works with the eyes and that silver hair.

:loveya:

[Vektor]

76. I was really impressed

by the courage and class he showed at the inauguration. The Bush supporters booing him really showed just how childish they are, and he handled it like a champ. He's pretty unflappable, definitely has nerves of steel.

[FreedomAngel82]

111. I just love him

[Jeffersons Ghost]

119. you gotta love intelligence

122. I love It!

I would love to make all of these my screen saver. How could I do it?

[bpilgrim]

124. you can select all your favorites - then download them all as a single zip

first you must register here...
http://news.globalfreepress.com/gallery/register.php
(just need your email - that is never given to anyone - to cut down on the spammers)

Then add images to your favorites by clicking the 'Add to Favorites' link at the bottom of the 'File information' block (near bottom of page) for every image you like.

Once you have marked all your favorite images click-on the 'My Favorites' link at the top of the page next to the 'Search' link among all the blue hyper links (top center).

Once in your favorite files area you will see a link at the top right of the block that says 'Download as Zip file' click on that to download all your favorite images as a single zip file.

Once downloaded, unzip the file and put the images in your screen saver folder.

Thats it =)

Happy New Year :toast:
