2. Hmmm. . ..
"The president is also giving commencement speeches on May 28 at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., and on May 31 at Furman University in Greenville, S.C."

Well now...he's dropping by two conservative "religious" institutions. . .

3. Oh, that Greensburg.
For a second, I thought you meant Greensburg, PA, which had 13 members of a local Army Reserve unit killed during the first Bush Oil War.

http://www.post-gazette.com/nation/20030226gulfwebnat5.asp

GREENSBURG -- With no more than a quiet ceremony, family members and Army reservists from the 14th Quartermaster Detachment who served in the Gulf War solemnly remembered 13 of their number who died during Operation Desert Storm.

Yesterday marked the 12th anniversary of the deadly attack in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, when an Iraqi Scud missile struck the barracks where the detachment was billeted while waiting for their orders.

Thirteen members of the Greensburg-based water purification unit were killed, giving the 69-person detachment the highest casualty rate of any U.S. unit during the Gulf War. In all, 28 people were killed and 99 were wounded in the attack.


Oh, right, Chucklenuts would never do anything so honorable as to remember our troops killed in his daddy's war. My bad.
