Your Tax Dollars At Work: Paying Mercenaries For Protection

president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is apparently ill...they say Ahmadinejad is
exhausted from overwork. And you know, thank God that will never happen to
George Bush." --David Letterman

smokeless tobacco and 24% used both. In contrast, the national average for
tobacco use is 29.6%. Wilson found the rate of tobacco use is higher now among
U.S. troops in Iraq than was found in a 2004 survey of troops returning from the

Palin and hubby
Todd...explained how they size people up on outdoor expeditions in Alaska: "It's
like Plato said, 'You learn more about someone in an hour of play than in a year
of conversation.' We've had people that Todd has ended up hiring [for his
commercial fishing business]
based on how they did out on a hunt or a snow machine ride with us to see if
they are going to complain. Are they going to buck up and realize that you have
to make the best of the circumstances you're in? It's a good kind of testing
ground for people," says Palin.
"Sorry to disappoint the liberals who tuned in tonight to gloat about Obama's lead in every poll, but I am not worried. McCain may be behind, but the man is a fighter. He doesn't know the meaning of the word 'quit.' He used to, but it was stored in the same part of his brain that remembered to vet his running mate." --Stephen Colbert
