[QUOTE=Tuckerfan] To quote Ronald Reagan (mainly because of the delicious irony of doing so will cause his sludge brained corpse to spin faster), “It’s morning in America.” 😃 [/QUOTE] I wrote on my blog that it’s mid-afternoon in America, and we’re now on the couch, waking up from the 12-year burrito-induced nightmare of this Congress. ---

[QUOTE=ted\_baskerville@yahoo.com] Does it make me gay if what Rumsfeld just did gave me an orgasim? [/QUOTE] Yes. And we are going to amend the Constitution to end that sort of horrible and morally deficient actions! Keep your gay homosexual thoughts to yourself, you dirty pervert! 😉 ---

I hope there is some sort of scanfdal involving Gates just because I want there to be a Gatesgate. ---

This made me so happy to hear so I went down the hall to tell the only Democrat I know of in this office. She wasn’t here and I had to tell someone so I risked it and told the receptionist. She seemed happy but she’s not likely to disagree with me. ---

[QUOTE=Ponder Stibbons] I have a distinct problem with the OP. It should’ve been titled “Rumsfeld Cuts and Runs” 😃 [/QUOTE] i just watched Bush’s speech on CNN. Man, he looks pissed! Look at how he turns the pages when he’s giving his speech. You can tell he doesn’t like what he has to say or do. I love it. ---

He should really be forced to put on a uniform and join the troops over there until they’re called back home. Then we’d really see if he thought we need to stay there. As it is he gets to retire and go back to his comfy mega-ranch with no consequences for his FUBAR of Iraq. Must be nice. ---

[QUOTE=Crotalus] So you want him to leave slowly? [/QUOTE] No, I want it the door (hopefully a very heavy one) to give him a bit of a push. We don’t want him lingering about.
