    Yeah, that describes the last 6 years pretty well. I am a member of a group, citizens, and I feel I am being used to give rich people a tax break. I am also being used to do unspeakable inhumane things to other people. Torture is not something I want done, but it is being done in my name and the names of every citizen in this country.

    George Allen needs to go. Virgil Goode needs to go. Tom Davis, Thelma Drake, Frank Wolf, Eric Cantor, all of the torture merchants need to go.

  3. Wait, is the dictionary fiction or a memoir? Is this fair? ‘Cause if it’s fiction, it’s not fair, unless the publisher is a Democrat. Or a Communist. But if it’s a memoir, then it’s fair, unless the publisher is a Republican. (You should imagine Jon Stewart reading that while impersonating Bush, as opposed to me reading it. Funnier that way.)

    Damn that pro-Webb bias in our dictionaries. It’s taking away from our important discussion of the issues. Think of the children! The children!!

  4. This will win the election for Webb:

    Here is what the UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS thinks of James Webb’s supposedly pornographic novels:

    Fields of Fire
    The Classic Novel of the Vietnam War
    Written By Webb, James

    Bantam Books, New York, NY © 1979
    360 Pages

    James Webb. a well-known Marine Corps Navy Cross recipient in Vietname and former Secretary of the Navy, conveys the experience of combat with rare lucidity through fiction. In fact, Fields of Fire is less fictional than most realize. It is the Vietnam War as the author lived it, and the reader sees and feels it through the eyes of the book’s main character, a platoon commander in Company D, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines.

    The novel is about the reality of war that Marines must come to grips with today as we prepare for the future. Fields of Fire is the story of the young, enlisted Marines who fought under then Lieutenant Webb. The reader should note carefully their emotions, motivations, courage, and fears for they are the men who have served us best in every war. Their social backgrounds vary, and many of our best warriors came from the lowliest of stations. In terms of the brotherhood of those who bleed together and the nobility of sacrifices made for friends, the characters in Webb’s novel are timeless. He succeeds brilliantly in making them real. Webb creates a doctrine of combat leadership and a creed for the succeeding generation on how and why Marines fight.

  5. Okay, HTML does not work quite as well as I would hope. The cross-through tag was supposed to be used there, and George Allen crossed out because of it.
