While a Military Daughter Buries Her 2-Star General Daddy, the Commander-in-Least is Nowhere to Be Found

I was going to start this post off with:  I don’t jump on ‘The President didn’t do this’ without independent verification. BUT when a Retired Col tweets this.

But then doing my research (ie pulling up his twitter feed), you can get more truth to the story.

Apparently Richard & George didn’t attend any funeral at all.

Just Another Intresting Article.

Forty-six congressional Democrats will send a letter to Attorney General Michael Mukasey Friday afternoon, asking him what he is doing to ensure that President Bush follows Congress’s ban on establishing permanent military bases in Iraq.  The Story

The Signing Statement –

Today, I have signed into law H.R. 4986, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008. The Act authorizes funding for the defense of the United States and its interests abroad, for military construction, and for national security-related energy programs.

State of the Union Speech!!

The good stuff is currently on the website, I am watching Veronica Mars so I won’t really update on the speech.  I am all about reading the text, and the policies.
