- Senate Republican's filibuster a bill to give troops a state side tour as long as their tour in Iraq

- House passes a bill for health care for children, Shimkus votes against it, Bush vows to veto it (Shimkus apparently loves a 4 cell zygote more then a sick 4 year old)

- Senate passes a bill that designates Iran's military a terrorist organization, Hillary votes for it, hell Durbin votes for it just hours after going on a rant against about how bad it is... (God help us all when WWIII breaks out after Cheney attacks Iran)

- House passes a bill condemning MoveOn.org's ad that pointed out Petraeus is being used as a political tool to read the White House "report" on how well the surge is going... - Jerry Costello votes for it.... (WTF?!?!?!?!)

Iraqi's bury more anonymous victims than during Saddam's rule

This is something to be ashamed of:

Volunteers collect Baghdad's nameless dead

Apparently Glen McCoy Comes From a Whole Family of Right Wing Tools

Apparently Glenn's brother - Gary, is also a right wing tool and he says he is just too old to go serve in Iraq. He had a letter in the paper on Sept. 15th. The BND never did post the letters that day on the web site - not sure why. He does his part by writing inspirational editorials just like his brother Glenn. My question is: I wonder why he doesn't get a job with Haliburton? Or better yet - he could go over and work for the Lincoln Group and write government propaganda. He and Glenn have a lot of practice.

Jim Hightower On Why We Are In Iraq

Jim Hightower is great!!

What I Learned From Bush

Bridges Falling Apart??

I don't know about you - but my taxes are going up. Our local infrastructure is falling apart and Glenn is complaining about it. You think it may have something to do with us spending all our money in Iraq?? I think that is costing $12 billion a month.... Guess their bridges are more important - Glenn??
