“The Iraq war is now costing $330 million a day. That could pay for 1700 more border patrol agents, or provide health-care for an extra 45,000 military veterans, or the funds from just one day in Iraq would give 270,000 more kids coverage under SCHIP.”
Just last week Bush vetoed $35 billion for sick children, but now he needs $46 billion more for the occupation in Iraq.

(i.e. "stay the course")
Liberals have more gray matter in a part of the brain associated with understanding complexity - the anterior cingulate cortex, while the conservative brain is bigger in the section related to processing fear - the right amygdala.

I filled out an app for TSA last winter. They were offering $13/hr to start (and they said I'd only have to frisk non-whites) but $330/mil divided by 1700 sounds like a lot better gig to me, sign me up!!
Harry Reid was making noises about not acting on Bushco's request till January, bfd. Unless and until the dems confront that smug fuck with the spectre of shutting down the entire shitmire he's just going to keep boning them.
