Well, got a phone call from son in Iraq. He has been doing 16, 18, 20 hour days since there. Traveling around Baghdad, meeting Iraqi's, checking out their new area of operations out of the FOB (Forward Operating Base). Dealing with the different types of food served by the locals. Like liver in a type of tomato sauce. He is his fathers son when it comes to liver.
One of the first things he asks is how is the election looking. After telling what the polls are, all the BS of the candidates bailouts he is not happy. He is a young person who understands how it is going to affect his parents in retirement and his life and finances later.
The thing he told me this time that says the most is about what he sees over there and what they have to deal with and comparing that to what we have to deal with over here. And he states Phil Gramm was right. John McCain fired him for telling the truth. We are a nation of whiners.
Sure are a lot of liars being kept on the job. Tax cut....rriiigghhtt.

MY prayers to every serviceman/woman and especially there familys to,
October 19, 2008 at 3:47 p.m.Thank you all for your service and God bless all of you.
I will be in the same picture mode come May. My son is pretty easy going, but he has always jumped in when he witnessed injustices. His favorite part of training at boot camp was the survival stuff. Scouts, camping in tents, and deer leases with the tracking and all pretty much helped him out. I will pray for your son and his troops. My step-grandson's step-mom is over there. Lieutenant in charge of supplies, I think. She's a really neat young lady. She goes out with her troops, and risks her life along with everyone else. A hedge of protection for our troops. Lord.
