9. I agree, miss.
When I searched Google Images for a pic, you should have seen some of the hateful, mean-spirited Photoshopped pics of Cindy Sheehan. On second thought, don't test your stomach like that. How do those people live with themselves?

3. Good morning, my dear Aristus!
Now this is one excellent juxtaposition.....heartbreaking as well.....

Cindy Sheehan and those pricks! These *men* make me want to cry and rant and rave all at the same time!

And there she is, enduring her son's death with grace and overwhelming sorrow......

Good job, my dear Aristus......

VERY good job......

:cry:


:loveya: :hug:

11. This one took very little effort on my part, CalPeg.
I saw the quote from "Midsummer", and this instantly sprang to mind. I guess we knew what we were getting when Bush responded to a critical citizen by saying: "Who cares what you think?" That was back in April or May of 2001. This country has become a real train wreck since then.

4. Thank you for that Aristus.
I've never before looked at your Shakespearean quote of the day. Henceforth I will not fail to do so.

5. Hey Boo, here's one from Aristus's greatest hits file (if memory serves):
"the idol of idiot worshippers". Is that close A?

12. Gee, who does that bring to mind, no matter how you emphasize
the word "idiot"?

Aristus has provided the link. Wonderful!

14. Previous WSTFTD are in my journal.
Some of the pic links have died, so the impact is lost. But most of them are still there. Have a look!
