FUBAR

Posted in Current Events, Foreign Policy, History and Recollections, Movies, Politics, Power, War on September 30, 2007 | 2 Comments »

WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE

(Excerpt. Complete lyrics here)
Where have all the young men gone?
Long time passing

Where have all the young men gone?
Gone for soldiers every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the [...]

Why is Pelosi frustrated?

Today on the Wolf Blitzer show, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said forcefully,
