Just the photo alone made me gasp.

It is stunning and beautiful....and tragic.

And then he laughs.

The very words of George W Bush on Feb. 14, 2007, uttered at a press conference in which not a single of the callow, cowed press corpse saw fit to ask a follow-up.

I remember Cindy Sheehan tried to bring it to our nation's attention.

As for his Poppy: Bush Sr told the FBI he was in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.

Most appropriate.

There are three dog tags in that work of people I never knew, but should have: my ex-wife's first cousin and two good friends' big brothers.

War sickens me, especially wars for no good reason -- which is near all of them, if not all of them.

I am not proud of that part of my life..I would like very much to just block it completely from my memories.
