Purple Hearts
Wy don't you call Morton Blackwell, the person responsible for this on his 800 line and leave him a message? It'll only cost him a few bucks and you a few minutes.

While I'm impressed with President Bush's resolve, I'm troubled by this administration's habit of not punishing failure.
If, as he claimed in his 2000 campaign, Mr. Bush seeks to run Government like a business, will he ever find a reason to fire anyone? The Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal is one example I can think of in which no senior administration officials have been taken to task.

"The Olympics...Field Hockey is on now. You know, why can they have field hockey...I haven't seen real hockey in the games yet. When is that gonna be on? How come we can have field hockey and not real hockey?"

****** been working here from 6-9 (or 10, this week!) in the mornings. As
I was about to put Ice Cube in the CD player/boombox, I noticed it was
switched to "FM", but the volume was turned all the way down.
I turned the volume up and listened for a bit. That damn Christian rock is
ruining the ears of today's kids! All I heard in ten minutes were
two-and-a-half of the worst, most repetitive, limp-wristed 1985 light rock
style crap songs I've ever heard!
I mean this stuff is bad. One song featured a moony-voiced christian rocker
type (probably thin and with a weedy mustache) singing "Alleluia" sixteen
times in a row. What kind of fucking song is that? Listening to that song
made me pine for 3000-year-old father ******* from St. Peters. At least he
put some emotion into his "Alleluias".
The next song was even better. Rocking out to the same wimpy chord Amy Grant
made popular in 1983, another weedy-mustached thin guy started singing about
how he's gonna "want salvation from his holy god".
Got news for you pal - salvation is waiting right underneath singing lessons in your "things to do"
pile.
But I guess not all Christian rock is bad. It sends a positive message to
today's youth: "You might dress like Prince Valiant and act like a
soft-hearted punk, but you can still get rich in the music business trading
on people's desperate hopes and dreams."

Right now....ABC's Nightline exposing Brazoria (sp?) County, Texas Prison Abuses in 1997 under GWB.
GWB knew about the problems and did nothing for months.
Same as he did with Abu Ghraib.
The pictures from Texas are chilling and as bad or worse than Abu Ghraib.
GO NIGHTLINE.....
