Gore Vidal - a man before his time

From An Evening With Richard Nixon,by Gore Vidal: "Over the years I have spoken about politics to quite a few audiences, and I'm continually struck by their collective ignorance - or perhaps lack of memory is a more tactful way of putting it. They don't know who did what last week, much less ten years ago, and they don't want to be told." Although Vidal was referring to Nixon, the sentiment rings true today just as it did in 1972.

"Mission accomplished," anyone?

3,907 members of the U.S. military have been killed in Iraq to date. I'll have to locate the number of Iraqi civilian deaths we're responsible for.

Please remember this: Obama didn't vote for the war.
