Sgt. Naked

Yeah, well ... whatever!

Sgt. poses for Playboy and "didn't do anything wrong". Well, technically, she's right. Wearing dog tags and playing to the fact she's a Sgt. was a bad call. I can only guess that she and her family needed a bit of money, hence the spread. If she is docked pay or discharge the military will suffer a blow at a time when it doesn't need more bad news.

Timing is everything. I suppose she might have accepted it due to the timing, "I dare you to discharge me!"

In any case, the military, if smart needs to bite the bullet on this one and let it go, then re-write codes of conduct.

Calling Veruca Salt

"bill will have little or no effect on federal spending and provide no substantial savings to the government", so says Tony Snow. Who gives a care? The government won't save? Excuse me doofi (plural of doofus), but the measure is to help individuals, persons, not the body of government. The president's call to veto it I think will downgrade his rating yet more, if that matters.

I don't care if Republicans or Democrats wrote and passed the thing, if it helps -- do it!

"... don't care how, I want it now!"

"The president and his Republican allies have argued that this bill would do nothing. Then why, I must ask, would he bother to veto it?" said Dingell, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
