Here's a story that many will find depressing: Thursday, June 1, would have been Marilyn Monroe's 80th birthday! I shudder to think what Norma Jean would have looked like."[Iraq's] Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki upbraided the U.S. military over Haditha, which he called 'a horrible crime,' and accused U.S. troops of habitually attacking unarmed civilians." (AP) Um, you're welcome for your freedom, Mr. Prime Minister.
"Sen. Edward Kennedy on Friday declared his vote against the Iraq war the best he has cast since being elected in 1962." The runner-up was his vote to leave Mary Jo Kopechne to die.
"U.S. soldiers need to begin leaving Iraq this year and the fledgling Iraqi government must take on more responsibility, a Vermont state senator said in the Democratic response to President Bush's weekly radio address. 'We must ensure that 2006 is a year of significant transition to full Iraqi sovereignty,' Peter Welch said in remarks taped Friday." I have a better pullout idea, Mr. Welch. It involves a time machine and your parents.
Some people age better than others. I don't think MM was a sun-worshiper, so she might've looked better than someone who was. I think she was insecure and due to critical attitudes--ahem, like yours--she most likely would've gone into seclusion in her later years.
