I have the secret for the speech that Obama should use to win the women's and the over-55 vote and I don't know how to whisper it in his ear.  Please help.  I'm not even sure I can make it clear to you here in just a few words.  But I have to try something.  It can put an end to this unending campaign and make it easier for him to fight back against all the attacks that Hillary throws at him.

 I think most everyone has noticed he has a really hard time hitting her back.  He really did look weak at the ABC "debate".  He mostly just stood there and took the punches.  I could see him struggling with himself to hold back the angry words part of him wanted to say.  I respect him for that.  But not everyone can just see the truth.  For some folks you just have to spell it out.  R.E.S.P.E.C.T. and L.O.V.E.

  Remember Scott Ritter - the Scott Ritter who said before the war that there were no WMDs in Iraq - the Scott Ritter that Ashley Banfield ridiculed on her MSNBC show?  He's BACK and telling it like it is, as always.

  There has been a 3 part interview with him on Raw Story and this is the third part.  Read it and listen up!

Depleted uranium has officially been declared the cause of Gulf War Syndrome in veteran's of the 1991 Gulf War.  It is already killing some of the veterans of this Gulf War.  This is truly a nuclear war.  The US has rained down hundreds of tons of radioactive depleted uranium shells onto Iraq, exposing everyone who breathes their dust to radiation poisoning.

  Bush is flying all around the country promoting Social Security reform.  Politicians on both sides are going on and on about it.  The budget Bush has put out is a joke.  Politicians on both sides are arguing about everything in it.  Neither plan is going to amount to anything, but they are taking up most of the "news" space that is not devoted to Jackson, Peterson, or the killer of the judge in Atlanta.

  The Bushies are not stupid, so what is the point?  Past presidents have done things to draw the "news" coverage to themselves and divert it from what they don't want the "news" to cover.  So what is it Bush is hiding from us?  My guess is that it is his plans to attack Syria and Iran.  Maybe it is as simple as keeping us from noticing how badly things are really going in Iraq.  What do you think it is?

  There are a lot of really smart and informed  Kossacks here.  If we put our heads together, we should be able to figure this out.

  It was 2 days after Christmas, 2003, the last time I saw him, and then purely by chance.  It was evening at my son's house and the pizza had just arrived when Andrew walked in with his Dad and his new wife.  She has red hair and he can't stop smiling.  (They had met and married while they were both stationed in Hawaii.)  It was the last night of his short Christmas leave and he wanted to spend it with his aunt and uncle in their brand new house.  He had been in the Army for 15 months and was leaving for Iraq in February.
