  1. I'm hoping politics in Iraq turns out no worse than it does in the US.

    How about lighting a fire under the Dems and getting them to pass a VA bill?

    Are there any liberals left?

    Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty. - John F. Kennedy
