1. RIP Jonathan, Joseph, 14 yet unnamed

2. Our troops are being used as cannon fodder

in W's war of choice. Every American should be mad as hell.

But then the troops are primarily from the low income and middle income. So the GOP in power don't really give a damn. They aren't affected. As long as they keep their tax cuts, "let the rest eat cake".
