In an earlier post I highlighted WBZ-Boston radio talk show host Paul Sullivan, who has cancer. Today it was announced that Sullivan has decided to enter hospice care. I would like to express my sincere best wishes to Paul and his family.

Colbert Cast Cash
In case you were wondering, Stephen Colbert’s wrist cast sold for $17,200 on eBay.
Crybaby Bush
I clipped this from Yahoo’s headlines. Bush cries on God’s shoulder? Oh, please. Who falls for this drivel? I am looking forward so much to him and Cheney going away and leaving us alone.
Another Bush Bait-and-Switch
Hey, more good news from our Bush League president:
President Bush, after hearing from top U.S. and Iraqi leaders, said Monday some American forces could be sent home if security across Iraq continues to improve as it has in Anbar Province, a former hotbed of Sunni insurgency. Bush spoke after hearing from Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, and U.S. ambassador to Baghdad Ryan Crocker, who are testifying to Congress next week assessing the president’s troop buildup.
I sure hope Bush isn’t trying to claim that the troop surge is helping in Anbar Province. The surge is solely to deal with security in Baghdad and the safety of its civilian population. Anbar can have nothing to do with the surge, or Bush lied to us yet again.
Bush Is A Tush
Today’s news includes this quote about our cognitively challenged head of state in name, and his boss, the devious and deceptive vice head:
In an hour and a half meeting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff in a secure Pentagon room dubbed “the Tank,” Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney heard from leaders of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines, who are worried about strains that are building on the forces — and on troops’ families — as a result of lengthy and repeated tours in Iraq. Bush did not speak in person after the meeting, but he issued a statement saying he is committed to giving the military “all it needs to meet the challenges of this new century.”
What exactly does Bush mean when he says he’s committed to giving the military all it needs?? Ignoring the fact that the troops in Iraq have never been properly equipped with body and vehicle armor, even to maintain the present “surge-level” of ground forces the military needs MORE MEN!
This isn’t Viet Nam, when the Draft assured the war’s continuation. The war ended when the Draft ended, and it’s not coming back to feed Iraq. Bush has run out of options. He can’t leave things as they are, so why don’t we just LEAVE??
Made in China, Made in America
An article in The Boston Globe puts some good historical perspective on the adulterated and counterfeit products that China has been shipping. Apparently, we’ve been there and done that ourselves. Be sure to read the sidebar article on poisoned medicine. It reminds me of the big story in the news before 9/11/01. A pharmacist in Kansas City was diluting cancer medication.
