SO MUCH TROUBLE IN THE WORLD

Don't fuck with Chuck

Alongside Democrats Joseph Biden and Carl Levin, Chuck Hagel proposed a non-binding resolution to the Democratic-controlled Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday, which rejected Bush's current policy in Iraq." The resolution concludes "it is not in the national interest of the United States" to deepen U.S. military involvement in Iraq.

This is not the first time that Chuck Hagel has voiced his concerns on this important issue. Chuck Hagel has a long history of questioning the Bush administration.

It dates back to August 18, 2005, when Hagel compared the Iraq War to Vietnam, and openly mocked Vice President Dick Cheney's assertion that the Iraqi insurgency was in its "last throes."

In November 2005, Hagel made a much-publicized statement saying "To question your government is not unpatriotic -- to not question your government is unpatriotic."

Now he has added this doozie to the mix.



I have to admit ... I like this guy's integrity.

I'll never be bad again!

Right before the midterm elections I decided to do a little praying. I wasn't expecting too much, since my last few requests had gone unanswered. Plus I was worried that my post about Ted Haggard would put me out of favor with The Big Guy for years to come.




My prayer went something like this:

"Hey God ... I know I don't do this often enough ... but this favor is really important to me. In a perfect world, I would really want the Democrats to win back the House AND the Senate ... but I know that is a long shot."

"If I cannot have that ... please give me the head of Rick Santorum and George Allen on a platter. You know that these two slime balls have it coming ... and it would make me a happy camper to see both these "presidential prospects" bite the big one."

"Amen"

*I must have done something right, because the Democrats took back the House in a big way.
*I also got to hear Rick "The Dick" Santorum give his concession speech surrounded by his crying children.
*Then, in the middle of the night, (Coffee in hand) the numbers started to turn for McCaskill and Webb.
*This afternoon at 2:30pm CNN declared Montana in the Democratic win column 12 hours after Missouri.
*And then, the cherry on the sundae. Over a period of days ... or weeks ... or even months ... I get to watch George "Pork" Allen fall off his high horse, as the state of Virginia seals the Democratic Senate majority.

Now ... the only tie Dick Cheney needs to worry about, is the one around his fat neck.

Thank you God.
