I guess soldiers are as disposable as razors.

Mr. President,
After all the talk about serving our country, all the flags, country music songs and yellow ribbons, our soldiers are just not worth much when they come back broken. That is, according to ex-Secretary Anthony J. Principi and others in your cabinet junior. They are just red numbers on the wrong side of the government's ledger. Their mangled lives seem inconsequential once they have fired their last rifle in battle. Where investment in our troops is concerned boots on the ground trumps bodies in the field.


Three years ago 263,257 were told they could not apply for VA care because their income was too high according to their government. So they are left to their own devices to figure out how to pay for their own health insurance. And since they were serving overseas many of the companies they worked either increased their premiums or dropped their health care coverage completely.


It is no accident that MSNBC has recently begun supporting the "Fallen Heroes Fund" for a rehab unit in San Antonio Texas. Once again you pull the funding for them and leave it up to charities and churches to clean up your mess. Unfortunately for our wounded soldiers many people are either living paycheck to paycheck or they are "burned out" after the Tsunami and Katrina relief efforts. So while this project may meet its goals others may not fare nearly as well.



Junior tell Saddam to please take back his old job, all is forgiven. You may not listen to many people junior but when Israel's domestic security agency, Shin Bet said in a speech to teenage Jewish settlers in the West Bank "a strong dictatorship like Saddam, would be preferable to the present "chaos" in Iraq."


They think you made their world more unsafe junior. Do you ever lay in bed and wonder how it all fell apart junior? Do you ask yourself things like "Where did I miss the boat"? Perhaps you should have listened to your dad's advice regarding Cheney. Oh well.


How was your “come-to-Jesus” meeting go with the Republican Congressmen? Did you remind them about Rove's Black List? And did you change their diapers and hold their hands junior afterwards?
They seem kind of shaky these days. They are weak and undeserving of your love. Tell them to stuff their concerns. You are the king, god talked to you! Weak lords and vassals cannot run the country but they are still necessary. At least Frisky and The Fat Man are pulling their weight anyway.


It was very compassionate of Frisky to help the ailing Pharmaceutical industry get their money's worth from him. The $271,523 in campaign donations to his re-election campaign bought them millions maybe billions of money saved from people who may want to sue Pharmaceutical companies if they are harmed or killed by any of their vaccines. So all that time and money spent on safeguarding new vaccines can now go towards more of those quality TV commercials.


Frisky and Fat Man Hastert included the provision into the Defense Department appropriations bill at the last minute without the approval of members of a House-Senate Conference Committee. And the Democrats were not told a thing about it even after Sen. bridge-to-nowhere Stevens denied its inclusion to Rep. David Obey.


The assault on the Congress, via slipping this provision in at the last minute caused some soreness. Many of the unaware-lawmakers didn't even get a dinner out of it. Crying Congressmen thought they were getting something else, but tough turkey right junior. They had it coming to them.


Frisky and the Fat Man know more about what is good for America than anyone else, (I mean besides you and Cheney), so why waste time bringing it up for debate on the floor. They would only screw it all up.


The question is quickly becoming not how much Republicans will prostitute themselves but for how long.


I love our democracy... no make that your kingdom junior. because there is nothing too good for the U.S. It’s the best damn "government" money can buy.
