You Said It Matt; and Come Back Little Arlen

Tweety Bird is hyping his next college Hardball show with a clip of Matt Damon, in which Damon is quoted as saying:

I don't think that it's fair as I said before, that it seems like we have a fighting class in our country. That's comprised of people who have to go for
either financial reasons or , I don't think that that is fair. And if you're
gonna send people to war, ahh, if, if we all get together and decide we need
to go to war then that needs to be shared by everybody. You know and if the
President has daughters who are of age then maybe they should go too...

It's about time someone called out George and Laura on why, if things are so great in Iraq, but we need more soldiers, they don't convince the party girls to sign up. And they can't say there's a security risk. Look at Queen Elizabeth II: all of her sons and grandsons have served or are serving in her country's armed forces.



Moving on.


I read that Arlen Specter plans to go to Syria to talk to that country's president about helping us out of the Mess-o-potamia (thanks Jon Stewart). This is pissing off the Bushies big time. Of course, it won't be the first time Arlen has incurred their wrath.

I remember when Arlen was the Democratic district attorney for Philadelphia. If he was one of the "I didn't leave the Democratic Party; the Democratic Party left me" turncoats, he should be re-assessing whether the Republican Party has also left him.

So what I gotta say is, Come back to your Party, Arlen. All is forgiven. We will tolerate your brand of kookiness far better than the company you now keep.

Oh, and, bring Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins with you. Please.
