Soldier being buried in Illinois today
Listening to CON radio/ABC Chicago.

Listener calls in and reports seeing what looks like ammo and several military planes flying near O'Hare airport. Asks host to check it out. They do. Police department and airport confirm the military presence was because they were to have performed a ceremony for the funeral but the family didn't want it.

CON station quickly put the story into the evening news report with this spin:

A soldier was buried today apparently the family is feuding. The mother spoke the media and blasted Bush for the war. The mother says her son tried to get out of the military. The father and siblings were in the military and report that the deceased was happy to be in the military.

1. Bush is destroying this country
Can we send him to the Sunni Triangle?

3. Our soldiers can't even die with honor and dignity under Bush.
He's actually managed to taint the concept of dying in defense of one's country. Bush is pure poison.

2. I guess I shouldn't ask if Bush attended the funeral...
Naw, silly me. What was I thinking.
