Hate

From the Washington Post LTTE page:

Some delegates at the Republican National Convention are wearing bandages with Purple Hearts on them as a way to mock Democratic nominee John F. Kerry.

This childish tactic is also an attack on all brave soldiers who were wounded in defense of this country.

These delegates should be ashamed.

My grandfather (Army Air Corps pilot during WWII, decorated numerous times although no Purple Heart--he was known for bringing his men back safely--he did however win the Croix de Guerre avec Palme) would spit on these people. How. Dare. They.

Thpooky times a-comin'

Since today is September 1, it's time to start thinking about the best holiday, the thpoooooookiest holiday in the whole world, Halloween. I'm already seeing one or two autumnal window displays *claps hands* like the gift shop in the 30 Rock Concourse that has pumpkins and other orange-y things in it. And I broke down and bought an LJ paid account, just so I could add more icons...including this one. Isn't it thpooooooky? And check out this cute calendar.

Someone HAS to have a Halloween party this year!!
