Pictures are Worth 1000 Words













Does that mean the picture above is worth 1044 words?


Taps by Unknown Song Writer

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Fading light, dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.

Thanks and praise, for our days,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky;
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.

Sun has set, shadows come,
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds
Always true to the promise that they made.

While the light fades from sight,
And the stars gleaming rays softly send,
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.

Revisiting past travesties

It is time for Congress to revisit the resolution giving Bush use of force in Iraq. We need to end this war before this war ends us. Our troops are doing nothing good in Iraq, this war is just taxing our resources both in the sense of supplies and in the sense of human capital. We need to do what we can to leave now. The best thing for Congress to do is pass a resolution limiting its previous resolution to give the president the ability to use force. It is time to end this tragedy.
