Apparently President Bush paid a visit to Baghdad for Thanksgiving. In a photo op, he picked up a tray with a Big turkey on it, apparently unaware that it was not real. Form the Washington Post:
Nevertheless, the foray has opened new credibility questions for a White House that has dealt with issues as small as who placed the “Mission Accomplished” banner aboard the aircraft carrier Bush used to proclaim the end of major combat operations in Iraq, and as major as assertions about Saddam Hussein’s arsenal of unconventional weapons and his ability to threaten the United States.
Credibility? What the fuck are these guys thinking anyway. Can’t they find something a bit more serious to talk about. Apparently not with the economy coming back and production levels higher than in years.

Pearl Harbor
My granfather died when I was pretty young. Younger than 10 anyhow. One thing I remember clearly about him was that he was missing a fingernail. Just never grew back. He was in a prisoner of war camp, I believe in the phillipines. Not too sure off the top of my head.
The point is that this is the 62nd anniversary of pearl harbor. Remember that? Over 2000 people, mostly servicemen, died that day. Alot of people bitched and moaned about us joining the war. They said alot of the same things that are being said today about the war in Iraq.
Everyone should take a moment and say a prayer for all of our servicemen and women of the present, as well as the past.
Molesting Priest Beaten to death
CNN –
(Dec. 7) — A retired Roman Catholic priest who admitted molesting three altar boys in 1995 was found beaten to death at his home, police said Saturday.
Joseph Pilger, 78, was found dead in his home Friday night. An autopsy Saturday found the cause of death to be multiple blunt force injuries, according to the Fayette County coroner. The death is being investigated as a homicide.
Pilger lived alone until the past month, when a young man began staying with him, said his neighbor, Karen Owens. Owens said Pilger’s car, which had been at his home earlier in the day, was missing Friday night.
Pilger pleaded guilty to sexual abuse in 1995 for abusing three altar boys in 1968 and 1969, when he was their pastor in Morganfield in western Kentucky. He was sentenced to five years’ probation beginning in January 1995.
Earlier this year, Pilger was named in a sex-abuse lawsuit against the dioceses of Lexington and Covington. Pilger declined to comment on the allegation.
