Vote republican all you're all going to die, part three
Declaring war on Thailand -

The war on terror has been this gang's get-out-of-jail-free card for years. High gas prices, a hurricane fiasco, red ink, an overall patina of ineptness overtopped by arrogance, and it's all forgotten the moment they say 9/11. Small wonder they say it loudly now, with midterm elections looming and polls suggesting more Americans are seeing through the president like Saran Wrap.

Indeed, there was an interesting exchange between Bush and a reporter at a recent news conference. In the process of answering a question about Iraq, Bush invoked Sept. 11, leading the reporter to interrupt him.

"What did Iraq have to do with that?" the reporter asked.

"Nothing," Bush said irritably.

The reporter somehow resisted saying, "Then why did you bring it up?"

- from an editorial in the Buffalo News.

"It's not over until we say it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!"
