Another rare political blog entry.

Yuck-o-la! U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld serves Christmas dinner to soldiers in Mosul, Iraq (I guess you could say he was literally taking care of the mess he has helped make there).

That's the face you want to see before ingesting food? What a novel idea: the troops get their puking out of the way before eating, and thus no hurt feelings are engendered when the beef jerky croquettes go untouched.

I understand that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney were also on hand, taking care of dick-shaking and ass-wiping duties, respectively.

Oops! Where are my manners?

Merry Christmas!
