Uhhh...As an American who has suffered through almost 7 years of King George, I can tell you that you are just plain wrong.

So Jura_Neat. The Clinton years were bad in your estimation. I guess you are opposed to peace and prosperity.

on the tatoo

You may understand politics, but you have a lot to learn about George Bush and this administration.

I don't have any advice for you, but maybe you should look into being a soap opera writer.

Not passing judgment, lonelyred. Having tatoos doesn't affect one's character. I just don't find them sexy.

Call me old fashioned, but NO, not at all. Kinda the same as a woman smoking a cigarette. Big turn off.

Of course, I'll drink a Miller Lite with Blankpage any day.

Add one more vote to the REJECTION column.

Drinking my own homebrew right now. This batch came out REAL good.

Other than that, I like a variety of the micros- Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada, Pete's Wicked, Flying Dog, Dominion, Brooklyn.

For a good cheap beer, Schaefer is the way to go. Love to slug em down on hot summer days.

Karma,

You are in a dream world.

cb and karma,

Are you really telling me that there are/were WMD's found in Iraq, that George Bush knows all about it, and that he is keeping it a secret? Just so I'm clear, please confirm that for me.

Stick to your guns, Fanta.

cb, I am trying to take you seriously, but you are making it very difficult.

The president would be completely vindicated if WMD's were found, but he's keeping it hush-hush? Come on, cb. Get in touch with reality.

Tin soldiers and Nixon comin'...

I consider myself a very fair and reasonable individual and what Fanta says about this damn war is 100% correct.

Actually, it's not even a war. It's an occupation. The war was over in about 3 weeks.

cb,

So you're telling me that the enlisted men/women have full knowledge of the existence of WMD's yet none of this information has made its way to the president's desk? Or, the president has the information and is keeping it a secret?

I'm trying to be fair here, but you're asking us to believe some really far-fetched stuff.

A comment on the recruiting situation:

After 9/11, this country was 100% united. I hate George Bush, but he was our leader and I was behind him. If the call would have gone out for 40+ males to enlist, I would have been first in line.

Now the country is sharply divided. However, a clear majority now oppose the Iraq invasion. Very few are enthusiastic about Bush's cause, making for a difficult recruiting climate.

Bush said, "We will make no distinction between the terrorists and those who harbor them". And I said, "Right on, George". Now there is strong evidence that many terrorists, including Osama Bin Laden, are hding out in Pakistan on the Afghan-Pakistan border. Yet we do nothing about it.

With a legitimate cause, like going after Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan/Pakistan, chasing down and eliminating those who attacked us, there would be no recruitment problem. But as it is, enlisting to fight in George Bush's war of choice in Iraq is not going to be something that many Americans choose to do.

Jimmy Durante's part was brief but memorable. Now turn on your Jimmy Durante voice for this- "It's under a big W".

And Mickey Rooney for another one.
