1. How many more georgie, how many more?
http://www.bushflash.com/year.html WATCH THIS VIDEO only takes 3 minutes


Enveloped in a sentiment,
A sound that rushes over me.
Engage an impulse to pretend
I have a faith as pure.
Not forgetting what it means to dream.
Indulging everything.
Entertaining thoughts that I've the strength
Of those I yearn to be.
Cheers and tribute greet the saviours.
Reckless thoughts survive.
Anachronistic and impulsive.

And what will happen?
Will I dream?
I am too scared to close my eyes.
For a second please hold me.
None can change in me these things that I believe.
But I don't know what happens now.
I am too scared to close my eyes.

Legion

3. Sad and lonely way to go.
It's a true crime that they won't count him, and others who've been through his experience.

4. And it was just a few weeks ago that some wondered if there would be 1000
casualties by election day....Bush, as always, exceeds expectations.

5. Ugh
Sad thing and just last night i saw on one of the local news channels around my area that. one of the IRR was getting shipped off to serve a year and a half there. I can't even think of what the #'s will be a year and a half from now over there.
lets just hope this election doesn't validate the senseless slaughter of thousands and Kerry starts to lower the burden and bring the troops home. But seeing all the hate bush has caused its getting harder and harder to see an end to all this.
ugh.
