Bill O'Reilly and Fox News may be seriously damaged. The way it looks he is a serial sex harasser. So after drug addict Limbaugh and gambling addict Bennett and gay Coulter, Drier and Drudge, who is left? Hannity must be a closet Nazi Party member or something. They're all in the closet. LOL

We BELIEVE.

We BELIEVE in Kerry.
We BELIEVE in Massachussetts
We BELIEVE in the RED SOX.

Go RED SOX. Up 4-0 middle of seventh
Kerry and the SOX know how to fight back and come from behind to win.

HOPE IS ON THE WAY.

Saw a bumper sticker: Support Our Troops!

Who can disagree with that?

Bush: Support our troops!
Rumsfeld: Support our soldiers!
Wolfowitz (is he in hiding?) : Support our troops!

Cheney: Support our troops!

Halliburton: Support our troops!!!

Wait Halliburton - are you supporting our troops? Really?

A soldier earns around $ 25K /year.
Halliburton pays English company on cost plus basis to hire private truck driver, security guard etc. These people who work alongside with the soldiers - and even are protected by our troops - are making at least $ 150k/year.

Their employer, that English company charges Halliburton $ 150K + cost, around 20%, make it $ 180k.

In turn Halliburton charges US government another 20% which means $ 216K for each civilian, and collecting $ 36K.

How do you feel if you are a soldier working side by side with a civilian that is doing just about the same job and he/she gets paid six times what you make as an enlisted person.

Support the troops? Talk is cheap, and is really dirt cheap when you do anything but.
