Our own piss in the bucket of Congress, ass tumor Dan Burton, sent me an 8X11 cardboard flier, at taxpayer expense, with the big bold statement "A Government-Run Health Care System Will Sacrifice Quality and Services for our Seniors" over a background of a Medicare card.
Um, excuse me, buttjob, but what the fuck do you think Medicare is?

I saw a sign today saying "9/11/01: We Will Never Forget".
Forget what? Most people don't even know.
I can't find a current figure, but, at one time, 70% of the US thought Iraq was responsible for 9/11, and that some of the hijackers were Iraqis. Sons of Satan, that's almost as many as those who think a Virgin gave birth and rose into heaven, still a virgin. Highly elastic hymen, maybe?
I couldn't find what I was looking for, but did find this:

Serious, no god would let these foul vermin use his/her/its name. (May be a cockroach, which would explain 9/11 and Katrina.) Who in hell do Robinson and Falwell blame for Hiroshima & Nagasaki? Do the Japanese agree?

Bush's popularity rose to a 90% approval rating in the wake of 9/11.
I always thought the White House had much to do with the attacks.
Remember when Bush denied it? His rating was 90% approve. Why would he make the charge credible by even acknowledging it?
Lyndon Johnson, one of the very savvy politicians of his day, once instructed his staff to spread a vicious lie about his opponent in an election. He said "We don't have to prove it. Just make the sumnabitch deny it".

Wonkette, in the glory days of founder Ana Marie Cox, had a great game to get you through a Bushspeech: you shoot a drink every time Bush says 9/11.

I saw a red tail on a low pole today, and he ignored us passing, intent on his patch of road and berm. Surely had already spotted movement.

A kestrel on a wire close to a pole stayed, unusual, as we passed.

Kestrels flee. They often loop, and come back to the same place, even the same spot.

From a windshield, American Kestrels and Mourning Doves can blur, with mph. They average within a tenth ounce, and the length difference is in the dove's longer neck. The silhouettes are thus usually dissimilar so as to make a quick ID. The kestrel with that short neck looks like a linebacker, shoulder power, as befits a deadly predator which weighs less than a Big Mac.

The photo intro is of astronaut Charles "Pete" Conrad unfurling our flag on the moon.

My fear is some of you may live to see a landscape quite similar, sans space travel.

There are some very simple rules in regards how to display your flag.

They do not include clothing, window decals, beach towels, plastic clamp-ons for your car, lapel pins, or tattoos.

It's a flag, damnit. Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of brave people have sacrificed mental health, body parts, mobility and, ultimately, life, for our flag.

Get it off your ass. Fly it.
