		<description>I know what will cheer you up, Preston, a nice poem.


&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Re-sinking John Kerry&lt;/strong&gt;


From Davy Jones&#039; locker a zombie emerges,

A Purple Heart phony with political urges;

Assuring the press he regrets his Swift boating,

John Kerry believes his boat is still floating.

He readily admits that he got torpedoed,

But he&#039;s up on his sail board, defiant and Speedo&#039;d.

The arrogant fool believes his wife&#039;s riches

Is enough to trump all of us Swift sons-of-bitches.


But John is a zombie, a dead sailor walking,

His brain is long dead but his mouth is still talking.

He needs a torpedo through his political heart,

Reducing his speeches to a bubbling fart.

Though Kerry pretends that his life isn&#039;t haunted

By Vietnam vets he slandered and taunted,

The younger among them will bury this knave,

And stand waiting in line to piss on his grave.


If I were John Kerry I&#039;d consider cremation,

Lest I lie in the soggiest grave in the nation.

		<description>Simple acts of everyday life, taken for granted by so many, yet for these people it is a rebirth.
Michael Yon&#039;s story about camera selection was interesting, but as he said, the number one requirement for taking a great photo is &lt;em&gt;to be there&lt;/em&gt;, even with an aging camera.
I wonder whatever happened to the daily stories of doom and gloom, and what was the word that the Admiral of the Chappaquidick used on the Senate floor?  Ahh...&lt;strong&gt;&quot;quagmire!&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;
So we have gone from &quot;quagmire&quot; to &quot;thank you for peace,&quot; but we wouldn&#039;t know it without intrepid independent journalist like Michael Yon.
Robbie, if you haven&#039;t read it, the last entry by &lt;a href=&quot;http://jeffemanuel.blogspot.com/2007/11/longest-morning-story-of-heroism.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Jeff Emanuel&lt;/a&gt; was riveting.</description>
