The President Is A Wise And Cunning Little Man
The American people have made their voices clear…they want out of Iraq, very soon, very quickly. So as he always does, our beloved President has taken the wisest course in making sure that he heeds their cries.

There is Pointless, There is Fruitless, and Then There is Congress
We never know what exactly the direction a new Congress plans to take the country, but we figure that something fruitful will come of it. But as usual, Nancy Pelosi’s deft hand is guiding us in directions we never thought we’d see. Well…directions we’d never hoped to see again.
