One long game
Referring to syndicated cartoonist Henry Payne’s cartoon on July 25, the one about the Democrats wanting to quit because they’re behind 3-2 in the first inning of a baseball game of the surge against the insurgents, my question would be: If we’re in the first inning in Iraq, does this mean we have about 40 more years for our glorious leader’s reign of error to play out?
It’s been more than four years, and things are worse. Listen to the majority. Bring our troops home.

Or, as an alternative, sign up Un-American, KW and the psychotic keith/bart siamese twins & let them join the "surge." And let them take anyone under 30 years old in Bush & Cheney's families as well. It's time these brave armchair warriors either put up or shut up.
Except that a "surge" from these clowns would be as effective as water gurgling down a toilet.

The water gurgling down the toilet does get ride of the detritus; and that is effective in a beneficial way.
Posted by Old Grouch on August 9, 2007 02:26 PMTrue, OG, but the gurgling toilet analogy still seems kinda' apt for these jokers.

Well . . . yes . . . I thought that was what I was pointing out. Sort of the "two birds with one stone" idea, as Danny Demon whispered in my ear.
