Picture of the Day

In Bush's statement, he lavishly praised the military.

The most powerful man in the world, standing in the rose garden, pardoning turkeys, while praising soldiers who have been in Iraq 12-14 months, 2nd or 3rd tour, sitting in a combat outpost, not having showered for a week, taking mortar and sniper fire.

It'd be an absurdist drama, if it weren't so absurd.

  • This is one of those "separated at birth" photos, right?

  • My latest separated at birth are Anderson Cooper and David Duchovny.

    They sound alike and even share mannerisms.
