2. The cook in the last photo (on the right side) is my nephew. . .

. . .it was one of the funniest days of my life. I remember when Bush showed up in Baghdad on TV I was cussing out my TV, then he moved over and stood next to my nephew I started jumping up and down because I was so excited to see him.

It should be noted that my nephew worked his ass for Obama and I couldn't be prouder. . .LOL

3. Your nephew is a very good man then!

Shrub should never wear anything resembling a uniform, he looks like a dweeb.

You're not alone in your pride.

6. He's regressed. He's talking on the phone I had in 1975.

Glad to see he's discovered LL Bean, since it's in his true home state.
