My Dragon Fly and Me

If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and I...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Weenies hate Heroes

Just what the hell you thinking,
Your head is up your butt.
This punishment you’re seeking,
Makes you, look like nut.
He didn’t harm a single soul,
He only saved some lives.
A few more soldiers, who’ll go home,
And grow old with their wives.
How can you drag him through the dirt,
While sitting in your chair?
I for one am glad that he,
Not you, was over there
Our soldiers fight our nation’s wars,
And this man is the best.
Stop your persecution of,
Lieutenant Colonel West

This is war afterall, so he skeered the little terrorist into opening his trap. I think from what I have read so far that this is very unjust.

honest burglar. --H. L. Mencken

Well, I think President Bush is "A good politician," certainly a good man.

[Conspiracy Guy]

No mortal is perfect. GWB has a good heart. You can see the sincerity in his eyes. When I saw the video of him being notified on 9/11 of the planes. I told everyone "that man is going to do what needs to be done if we'll just let him." It was his face that made me say that.

No smirky "I feel your pain" BS from him.
