shhhh. maybe no one will notice

Pop culture and the press have taken the Bushie administration to task, but still the White House brings dishonor upon itself by trying to hide the toll of the war. In an episode of "West Wing" last season (I think), the president goes to an airbase to welcome the caskets of fallen soldiers. In this past week's story line in the comic strip (a comic strip!) Get Fuzzy, the character Rob goes to meet his cousin who is returning from the war missing most of one leg. The shocking story line is that the soldiers come home in the middle of the night so that the press won't be able to cover the event. And, finally, a photo of flag-drapped caskets in a cargo plane published on the front page of the Seattle Times led to the woman who took it being fired.



It's all very sad. Convert a Republican today.
