Portrait of a Liar
Vote Barr.
Punish fascists.
Topple tyrants.
Weak Position
Invading Iraq was supposed to give us cheaper gas and greater energy. It was supposed to enhance our strength in the Middle East.

Mission Accomplished! Law Day! May Day!
Today is the 5th Anniversary of Mission Accomplished Day.
