  They Have No Shame
You have to be f-ing kidding me:

Tucked away in fine print in the military spending bill for this past year was a lump sum of $20 million to pay for a celebration in the nation's capital "for commemoration of success" in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Not surprisingly, the money was not spent.

The original legislation empowered the president to designate "a day of celebration" to commemorate the success of the armed forces in Afghanistan and Iraq, and to "issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies and activities." 

Yes, we are governed by the most corrupt, twisted, sick, perverted Congress and President in our nation's history.  I really truly believe that, and I have done my homework.  The utter detachment from any semblance of reality should be a lesson for future generations: Yes, it can happen here too, and when it does, it's worse, much worse, than anywhere else because this country is so damn big and powerful.  While soliders were bravely fighting  and dying in a totally senseless war that has been proven to detrimental to our nation's security, instead of providing them with the resources they needed to get the job done, the Congress was busy protecting a known sexual predator and drawing up plans for some Fantasyland celebration of something that never was, never could have been, and never will be.
 


 
Comments:
Speaking of Congress and the wonderful U S - did you notice that FOX news - the most informative news source ever - reported that Foley was a Democrat. Think it was intentional?
 
No, nothing FOX does is ever intentional. They are run by innocent little lambs of newspeople who want only to get the truth out.
