Tom Vilsack: Congress Should End the War NOW!

Much as I have been liking Edwards and Obama so far (not to mention Al Gore), I have not been ready to commit to a candidate yet. In fact, as I recently wrote, I feel the Democrats have an unusually strong and exciting field of candidates this time around.

So, to add one more voice to those of Al Gore, Barak Obama and John Edwards who are calling for a rapid end to the Iraq (and Iran?) quagmire, here is a message from Tom Vilsack:

Tom Vilsack’s message was heard loud and clear this weekend at the DNC Winter Meeting in Washington, DC -- it’s time to get troops out of Iraq, now.

"It is time for us to clearly say 'the war must end and our troops must be brought home now.' Let me say that I think Congress has a constitutional responsibility and a moral obligation to do it now. Not a cap -- an end. Not eventually -- immediately."

And for the record, it's hard finding good pictures of Vilsack. He has both name and lack of charisma working against him, but otherwise he isn't bad. Midwest Governor and all that could help.

Pshaw

War? What war? We don't have to do anything. . . really do anything. . . the Rs said they didn't want to and so, there ya go.

Too bad about all those votes in November. . .

Words to live by


So, I am driving, and thinking of Nick Lachey posing nude for Playgirl. My first thought is DAMN! I am going to have to buy that. But after much deliberation, I decide it isn't a good idea. What if I see his dick and am disappointed? Then what? Then whenever I see him I'll think "your dick is ugly". Nahhh, I guess I won't be buying it. I'd rather like to continue believing that all dicks I haven't seen are beautiful. Maybe I am a little naïve but hey, that means that I think half of my readers are looking good.
