1. Exactly.

And I am due beer and travel money. And what do they do, spin and lie, and talk about sex scandals, no wonder stuff is messed up.

2. Here's a beer for you

Remember a beer is a

15. Hooray! Beer!

On a serious note: On the evening news last night, I watched the segment about the local soldier who was killed recently, and was told that he died so we could enjoy our freedom.

Freedom to pay $3.79 a gallon for gas, I guess.

3. Sadly, K&R

As to what's "important" to our society: wall to wall coverage of a dude's boner in his boxers, or the human costs (just on "our" side, let alone the innocent civilians!) from the recent wars that our country has pissed down the drain in the Arabian Gulf states.

Thoughts & prayers to the soldiers' families for them to find some positive 'something' to get them through the immediate shock and what will no doubt be the pain & loss that will be with them for the rest of their lives.

11. Sad but true...once in a perpetual state of war we come to accept what we should otherwise find

sad.


really. sad.

9. Sorry, it's not just "they" that are interested.

This board is blowing up faster then a peep in the microwave..

You'd think he shot someone in the face hunting.

10. And I'm sure there will be no protests in the streets.

Just because a democrat is in the White House, doesn't mean he should get a free pass for continuing the Bush policies.

12. And don't forget the "Tot Mom" trial

I hate Casey Anthony, and think she needs to do life in prison, but we don't need wall-to-wall coverage of her freaking trial.

I can't even stand watching the news lately. It's all "Tot Mom" and Wiener's wiener.

13. Is that why the flags were half mast at my city hall in N. Cal?
