Quite Frankly My Dear, I Don't Give A Damn
Chesterfield, Virginia,I'm sure the veterinarian that founded Courthouse Road Animal Hospital, Dr. H.O. Lyne, was a very fine gentleman. Too bad the one running it now, his son, is a horse's ass. Just because you're born in the south doesn't make you Rhett Butler. You're just plain obnoxious.
I don't normally name call. Take the 2008 election for example. I don't like what Hillary Clinton stands for but I have never personally met her. So it stands to reason that I could never say Hillary Clinton is a such and such. Get my drift.
Now, I know I'm a non-native species that's run amok in The Great Commonwealth of Virginia. Yes, by golly, you've come up against the "Female Northern Yankee Liberal". I'm a stubborn specimen, I can be a bit passive aggressive when provoked and I speak my mind.
So, if you should come across this lovely little building in your travels on Courthouse Road just be very careful and......................................watch out for the pothole in the parking lot.

President Bush Supports Our Troops
Bonus Payments FrozenBy Jim Tice - Staff writer

The Army has temporarily halted bonus payments for more than 20 enlistment, re-enlistment and service extension programs pending enactment of authorizing legislation.
President Bush, to the surprise of Congress and the Defense Department, vetoed the fiscal 2008 Defense Authorization Act on Dec. 29 after months bargaining with House and Senate leaders.
In announcing the pocket veto, White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said the president objected to a single provision of the legislation that would delay the reconstruction of Iraq, and expose the Iraqi government to unwarranted law suits in U.S. courts.
President Pockets Troop Bonuses By Jon Soltz

I agree with John Soltz 100%. This President says to Congress support our troops yet caves in to the Iraqi government because legislation may tie up their money in lawsuits and possibly slow down or halt reconstruction. I don't see how that's possible when they are using our countries money as well. What about the billions and billions owed to the United States from oil revenue. Something tells me that this war and Iraq reconstruction is bankrupting the United States emotionally, physically and financially.
