So General Pace thinks gays and lesbians are immoral and against God's law, but torture and killing are A - OK? Republicans really are incapable of understanding hypocrisy or irony.

Re: Democrats

Did they really say last night that they're going to keep the Iraq War/Occupation going until 2013? With no explanation of how to pay for it or where the troops will come from to fight in it?

That headline should read: Gates demands Congress borrow another $190 billion from the Chinese to fund our wars.

"Dream of new home becomes reality for Kirkland family."

We are talking about Kirkland not New Orleans. Kirkland must be a slum city tucked between Redmond, Hunts Point and Medina.
Here is what did not make it into that story:
Connie was facing the continued inability to pay for her morning latte.

When asked about the home that was given to her by her parents, “It’s like, oh my God, this house is so old. It has been most hard on the children who have been humiliated at school when their friends live in brand new homes over 5000 square feet.”

“Many of her students are children of local families; some have disabilities, including autism and cerebral palsy.”
[What does that have to do with anything? Lots of people have paying “customers” with disabilities.]

One of her Kirkland neighbors added, “I can’t imagine a more needy family in the entire world. It has been so sad to see her have to work for a living.”

I'm not a fan of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. I'm not convinced that most of those families are truly in need. (How about building completely new houses for the homeless?) They also don't need to supply lower middle class and poor families with mansions.

However, that woman's house was falling down. Clearly, this isn't an issue of her spending too much money on coffee drinks.
