Comment: La quiete autunnale.

Fiocca e poi fiocca d???armonie sì
quieto colle al guardo mio membrato
a fior de gioventù.
Triste s???acquieta a novo donzella
su cigli de vetri co l???occhio fuggente
tra prati e ricordi, e chiara de viso
rincorre la corsa de svelto innevar.
E??? quiete d???inverno sanz???altre sanate
per l???arie e cantori.

Comment: It is amazing that I paid taxes for a portion of the $736 million went into building a safe and secure state-of-the-art compound for policy makers to live in Baghdad. But, you couldn't catch a single embassy employee staying in the dilapidated barracks in Fort Bragg for a night though. Amazingly, while Americans sleep at night this is what their elected officials spend their tax dollars on. Does your state elected official really support the troops. Americans are becoming the same lemming that allowed Rome to fall.

Comment: Well. let's see. According to angry liberals, anti-Americanism is solely Bush's fault.

I guess those same angry liberals must blame Kennedy for the fact that, "By the late 1960s, U.S. embassies had become targets of anti-Americanism, and designs began to reflect the need for added security, particularly public-access control.."

Nah, that would require intellectual honesty.
