Today we remember those who have fallen in service for their country. Tomorrow lets to commit to an even greater effort to take care of those who have served and live.

It seems there is more to the DWS story than her reluctance to campaign against her friends. It looks more like she doesn't want to campaign against her financial interests.

As always its follow the money.

Little Bush has made the military his captive backdrop for countless photo-ops and ridiculous speeches but hasn't given us anything in return but endless war, broken units and broken families.

Obama could get this thing back on a serious track by naming a cabinet to include a Veep candidate.

At this point in the war approximately 1.3 million servicemembers have completed tours in Iraq.

PTSD rates are up, suicide rates are up, the number of homeless veterans is on the rise and as of yet neither Barack Obama nor Hillary Clinton have laid out a plan to address these issues.

Here we go again?

Ralph Nader longtime consumer advocate and spoiler of the 2000 Gore vs. Bush election has announced his intentions to enter into the fray once again.

Hillary Clinton plans to fight to seat Michigan and Florida Delegates despite the fact that it may do irreperable damage to the Democrats in the 2008 election.

No one could have forseen ....Naaaah I'm only kidding many foresaw it!

Yet here we are 8 months away from elections with our best shot ever of not only winning the White House, the Senate and the House back but also a chance to pull America back from the brink of destruction where NeoConservative policy, powergrabbing and incompetence have brought us....BUT...

The New York Times has indeed hired Bill Kristol, uber-wingnut and resident smiling ghoul, as an op-ed columnist.

What good is a Democratic majority when fair weather friends like these two constantly undermine it.

Mukasey is just another stooge for the administration.

He will support a unitary executive.
He will condone torture.
He will not prosecute anyone held in contempt by Congress.
He will not investigate graft and corruption within the administration.

Enough is enough and the "best" the administration will give us is not good enough.

Republicans, including President Bush, have been consistently weak in supporting veterans despite their hawkish rhetoric.

Many congressmen and women believe this can be a wedge issue to capture swing voters and a chunk of the coveted military vote, which has been consistently republican.

What do you think?

Good ole W constantly uses military imagery to his advantage on the stump. Recall his flight suited stroll across the flight deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln and his regular wearing of leather and nomex flight jackets when he flies Marine One or stumps on military bases. He consistently gives policy speaches on military bases where he surrounds himself by uniformed personnel. He shamelessly uses men and women in uniform at even the highest level addresses, recall the State of the Union with strategically seated veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts.

But the truth is that GWB's allegiance to men and women in uniform is a sham...............
