I don't get
it?
The airlines just
don’t get it do they? First they can’t make money
“because their business model didn’t anticipate the
high cost of fuel” and now they are taking away the
last bit of service by charging for peanuts and soda.
How could the airlines not anticipate that fuel would
go up? What the hell are all these high priced

It just makes
sense
President Bush
opposes a new G.I. Bill of Rights. He worries that if
the traditional path to college for service members

saddled the military with a botched, unwinnable war,
having squandered soldiers’ lives and failed them in
so many ways, the commander in chief now resists
giving the troops a chance at better futures out of

further weakening the military he has done so much to
break. Read

him and Hillary bitter I am sure but underneath it
all was the type of politics that we have come to
hate now. The Republicans saw the change coming and
that is why people like Karl Rove have been heading
for the exit door but the last of "that type of
politics" maybe coming to an end thanks to Hillary's
big mouth. Read
