My plumber is going off on the Iraq issue right now
He has a relative who just came back from Iraq. He asked a cousin who wanted to enlist why would he want to do that. He said we are losing over there. Says he never looks an Iraqi in the eye, he watches his hands to see what he might do. Says we're going to lose a lot more soldiers over there. The only way we could win would be to drop a nuke on the place. Trouble with that would be that all the innocent Iraqis would be killed. Says as soon as he leaves the US he loses all his rights. He has to do what the army says.

Now the plumber is going off on social security and pensions. I'm loving this. My Bush voting husband is sitting out in the kitchen with him going uh ha, uh ha. I want to give that plumber a bonus. Darn, he's finished with the job.

1. Good to hear. Balances out the cable guy
I had who was all rah-rah Bush. Hated Hillary Clinton....bought the whole hateradio stream of lies without question.
Talked about how Hillary had, literally, pushed people out of the way after 9-11. (!).
Yep. Heard it "on the radio".
I could not get this guy out of my house fast enough.
