Thank you jaz. I've got a houseful today-civies and jarheads.

They play so hard, they give me a headache and they'll eat ya out of house and home.

; )

I can't begin to describe how I feel about them, except to say, there isn't anybody I love more. They're magnetic, too...front yard looks like a car lot : )

"Needed to re-hydrate after each trip to the loo."

The loo?? The Loo?? No way, the head,the crapper,the shi**er,anything but the loo.

Maybe he's an effete Ivy League Marine? Nah,not many of them anymore.

I don't understand it.

Yeah, BOR is firmly in the "quagmire" camp. "It's chaos, it's just chaos!" He has convinced himself that we are loosing.

Yeah, but "loo"?!? That's very much a British saying. I've never heard an Amercian, or to be honest a Brit working in the U.S. refer to the bathroom as "the loo".

I've known at least one, anyway. Back in the late '70's, lady was from Peterborough in the UK. Married to my supervisor.

This letter, or variations of it, have been bouncing around the 'net for quite a while. I suspect it isn't entirely authentic, if you know what I mean.

Message to politicians, leave the work to the soldiers and stop bothering them so you can get a nice photo op.

We can put Warner and McCain at the top of that list.

Great letter - too bad all of the kool-aid drinkers don't get to see stuff like this instead of Foley,etc. BTW, didn't the Dow Jones break the all time record set during the Ozark Caligula's administration last week?
