See, It’s Vietnam…but It’s Not When I Say it’s Not. See?
Seriously, those of you who voted for this idiot, please mail me your personal apologies. I'll do my best to forward them to the American public, the world, and all the people who made America great in the past two hundred years. My God.

17. August 2007
{mosimage} This series of events is interesting to me. On June 21, 2007, Dennis Rehberg announced that he had secured $400,000 in funding for the Montana World Trade Center.

14. July 2007
Almost two years ago, I wrote one of the angriest pieces I have written on this blog, about the military's exploitation of Pat Tillman's death in Afghanistan.
