1. Freedom on the march.
LTD, are you going to come to Austin for the 2000th vigil?

2. It'll happen tomorrow; 2000 US dead by tomorrow, imo.
Austin vigil? Is this Crawford?

We're at Ft Hood Killeen, so we're close by. What's the Austin vigil and perhaps hubby & I can pop by. Or just me.

We're leery of doing vigils because he's military and could get into deep shit. While he puts his life on the line for freedoms, he himself doesn't have any of those freedoms.

3. Bushie making Progress in convincing America he cannot run the
Gov't with any kind of real Leadership.

He progressed a lot confirming he has chosen real life cronies for many Depts in the Gov't....some of them very important as we just found out in NOLA

Bush has progressed in adding to our deficits and Nat debt..I think he really don't understand all that shit.

He has progressed in partially wrecking his own administrations ...up till now that is...it just might get ugly later.

10. Every year is worse than the previousyears. Same with Afghanistan.
With 10 days still to go, more troops will die this October than died last October & the October before that.
