The guy said something to the effect.........really, he's getting off vacation, amazing he remembered he has a job.

I loved it!!! Those freepers can bang that poll all they want today, but we all know dubya isn't a well liked president, or a smart one. They just make him look sillier.

JACKSON BARRACKS -- When members of the Louisiana National Guard left for Iraq in October, they took a lot equipment with them. Dozens of high water vehicles, humvees, refuelers and generators are now abroad, and in the event of a major natural disaster that, could be a problem.

"The National Guard needs that equipment back home to support the homeland security mission," said Lt. Colonel Pete Schneider with the LA National Guard.
