Murtha's finally getting someone to listen to him, looks like. He was on all the channels last night and this morning, but apparently he's been trying to raise a stink about that for months.

Compassionately intolerant
I took calls about Haditha all day today. The lawyer I work with was all over the airwaves.
ND have your mom call a military lawyer. Hear lots of great stories about the way military members are really treated. How about the soldier who was court martialed and worse for sending his wife emails telling the truth about his situation? How about the woman whose medical records were leaked all over a base because another woman was having an affair with her husband. Or the MASSES of folks with medical problems who are unceremoniously kicked out without benefits. Oh yeah. The military is a great jobs program in a lot of ways, but too many of the people in it are treated like dirt.

ND's mom is in her 70's and set in her ways. She's not calling a military lawyer anytime soon.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
There was also a story I saw recently about how many veterans are ending up homeless. Possibly in the online Newsweek? There was a brief mention that the people who go into the Army come back and find themselves behind people their age who'd started their career paths ... which would contradict her advice to get an education from the Army.

Okay, looking over Tom's pictures--you are all unutterably gorgeous. Just so you know.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
