I found it ...amusing. Because my son is a Marine in Fallujah. On convoys.
Right now. While we’re enjoying the right to decide to post anything that
any one of us feels is somewhat funny to the list, on Fryeday's.
Not truly funny, to me. More like sadly true. But funny enough. Hardly
"horrible", in my opinion.
Go tell it to the Marines.

I am greatly offended by this horrible attack on the President. This is not
an innocent joke, it is serious political commentary. The Vanagon List is
frequented by a very diverse group of people, and political postings will
surely degrade the usefulness of its content. I hope that all concerned
would please refrain from posting political opinion in the future.
Thanks, Anthony
