Picture of the Day - 2
















When I first saw this picture I was amazed. Have you ever seen a major administration figure attend a funeral with the folded flag?

Then I read the caption. It was Casper Weinberger's funeral.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Three U.S. soldiers were killed Sunday when their vehicle hit a roadside bomb northwest of Baghdad, the U.S. command said. That brought the number of American troops killed in the Iraqi capital area over the weekend to eight.

  • I'd like to think of myself and educated man. A man with a vocabulary and command of the language slightly above the average American. Yet I keep falling back to a single word when it comes to the individuals in this administration...

    Pricks!

    Sorry. I wish I was more articulate...

  • I think you caught it pretty well, epm. It's not about using a big word, it's about using the appropriate word.

    And, Dave, we need Kissinger in the picture to make it complete.
