Picking sand out of your boogers...

My best friend just got the call...

Off to the sand-box, formerly known as Iraq.

Oh, and I should make a note that my bro-in-law is going back for the third time this year. Fuckin' third time.

Has anyone else out there lost faith in democracy? Good. I was beginning to think I was all alone.

thanks for stopping by my place.

I will be praying for your friend and your brother in law. My hat is off to them with love and appreciation!

figured I'd stop by since you had the courtesy to do the same :)

Quite the collection of bloggers you have on here!

Democracy is not the problem. It's (1) voters who treat elections as popularity/fashion contests, and (2) sheep who fail to point out Group 1's stupidity for voting that way out of fear of being unpopular.

Speak your mind, folks, and be able to back it up with facts. We might just get somewhere good that way.

Or we can all just keep voting for the well-quaffed party hacks on each side of the aisle and get crap...like we deserve.

Good luck to your friend. I made it back alive and hope he does, too. And remember to step up your attention to him about 6 months after he gets back...when the fear and depression really start to take hold of him. He'll need all the friends and help he can get.
