I was just reading a book from one of my favorite series; Uncle Johns Bathroom Reader. This one is the National Parks edition, and it got me to thinking about the incredible National Parks we have in this country. They are the Crown Jewels of our nation, and we should be doing more maintain, enlarge, protect, and advertise them. Some TARP money could go a long way to solve this.

Anyone who has read any of my comments knows I have been very critical of President Obama for his stance on torture, spying and other crimes of the past administration. There have been countless diaries posted condemning our President for not doing enough, and just as many condemning the diarists for not giving President Obama more time to work things out. I freely admit, I have been in more support of the former and less supportive of the latter. Lately though, I have come to a different conclusion: Leave the President alone and place the blame squarely where it stands: On Madam Speaker's shoulders.
Step on through to the other side, if you will.

Is the current argument about torture Obama's fault, or Pelosi's fault?

This is just a short little diary about the dead soldiers nobody seems to care about anymore. I read this article tonite that just surprised, saddened and scared me.

Public awareness of the number of American military fatalities in Iraq has declined sharply since last August. Today, just 28% of adults are able to say that approximately 4,000 Americans have died in the Iraq war. As of March 10, the Department of Defense had confirmed the deaths of 3,974 U.S. military personnel in Iraq.

(Note: the number of U.S. deaths confirmed by the Department of Defense is 3,974. Thirteen U.S. deaths are pending confirmation, for a total of 3,987).

It surprised me that the coverage has fallen off so much, it saddened me that so few people knew the true cost of this war, and it scared me that we as a public could become so apathetic to this war.
So, what to do?

I don't have a lot of time, so this will be a short diary.

I was just over at Raw Story where I saw two stories that, once again, shows us the Democrats who control Congress have no spine. The first story is about how the Senate will go ahead with confirmation hearings without waiting for all of the subpoenaed documents. The second story is about yet another letter demanding documents.

This is my first ever diary on any website whatsoever, so please be nice. I hope this isn't a redundant diary. If it is, I am sorry.
We are at the endgame now as far as I can tell. It is one week before the elction, the polls are coming fast and furious, the venom is spraying far and wide from the ReThugs, and Dumbya is out on the campaign calling Democrats American hating terrorist supporters. So I have two simple questions: What do I do now? What happens if we lose? Read More
