Dont do the nice spiffy corners,,,only democrats make beds that way.

Ouch. 'Fraid I just can't let that comment go by, SG - lots of lifelong Republicans make beds that way, too, esp. those of us who are nurses!

[SoldiersGirl]

ha

I make my beds with hospital corners, from being a neat freak, a clinical assistant, and having a military husband
and I'm sooo not a Democrat.

BBL...got to get me some breakfast and get dressed...afraid I'll be 500 posts behind when I get back (sigh)

wanting to read y'all's reactions to the Saddam walking around town

That is NOT Saddam. In my mind, there are at least TWO Saddams we've seen since March 19th - the one on the first night in the thick glasses is the same as the one in the crowd yesterday. I can't really explain it, but I get this feeling he looks somehow like Howdy Doody - something about the high cheeks and facial expressions...especially when he smiles. That guy's an actor, not a dictator. Other appearances have been recycled tapes of the real Saddam.

Not sure of the timing but Greg had the first footage of the arrival into Baghdad.

For a 1st. time posted here, but a long time viewer, you guys do excellant work getting the information, and even the dis-information, so that no matter what, the American
Public can be advised of the 'Real News'.
Anyways, Thanks so much, keep it coming!

Looking at the FoxNews video of the Army moving into Baghdad, I see that the Iraqis have even had the courtesy to convert their road signs into English for us. I just saw one that said "Baghdad Airport" under some of that Arabic writing. These were professional looking signs too, like the ones we see on our interstate highways.

[nicmarlo]

I would get confused, lol! thanks for your post.

I make my beds with hospital corners...

What dis-information? LOL

[nicmarlo]

I believe it was about 10:00 p.m. or so, EST---

[SoldiersGirl]

there's the liberal way

let em get really dirty, throw them on the floor, and whine until you get someone to clean them for you.

[glock rocks]

good morning baghdad!

what's all this chatter about making beds? huh?

i'm a capitalist. i bought our beds.

set em in the corner, throw on a chunk of old carpet...

wa-la, sleepytime.

[cajungirl]

Oh dear a misunderstanding. Repubs do hospital corners along with all right thinking people including nurses, military wives and old ladies like me. Democrats do not make their beds or change their sheets. I hope this is clear cause I don't want the hospital corners crowd to issue a fatwa on me.

[Otta B Sleepin]

I'm sooo not a Democrat.

LOL. There's such a feeling of pride associated with those words, isn't there? Not to mention great tagline potential!

[pitinkie]

did anyone get a screenshot????

You are welcome. Since I rarely tune away from Fox, I do not know who the reporter was, but he seemed to have a depth of knowledge that made his report very compelling.
