So you get hit by an IED and loose your legs. To rehabilitate you get sent to Walter Reed, where you get the amusement park treatment now:

A year after a scandal erupted over the long-term treatment of soldiers at the hospital, the Army has turned to Disney for help. "Service, Disney Style" is newly required for all military and other government employees at Walter Reed.

Lafferty and her fellow Disney trainer, Mike Donnelly, handed out little plastic Goofy and Mickey Mouse figurines as they led Wednesday afternoon's discussion with the workers -- some in uniform, some in scrubs, some in civilian clothes.

Does this mean they will follow you around trying to get a picture then sell you some over priced picture key chain?

Yesterday John Gibson blew up on the air at Rob Boston over the "War on
Christmas". It was really quite a sight and everyone should check it out at
Crooks and Liars.

Well it seems that the story doesn't end there. The
Carpetbagger
Report brings us details of round 2

A couple of hours after Gibson's show ended and Rob went home, Gibson's
producer called Rob's cell, saying, "John's really upset that you called him
a liar." The producer asked if Rob would be willing to appear on Gibson's
radio show for Round Two. Rob, who managed to keep his cool while Gibson
became unhinged, said he would.

Before they could schedule an appearance, Gibson got on the phone and to
start screaming again. Rob, who does not suffer fools kindly, told Gibson
the truth — explaining calmly that Gibson is a clown, Fox News is a joke,
and their nonsense is demagoguery.

Rob could practically hear Gibson's head exploding over the phone.
Eventually, Gibson said, "Don't come in where I drink… Don't come visit a
bar when I'm in there." After Rob asked if Gibson was threatening him,
Gibson hung up on him.

The ordeal, as Rob explained, was rather surreal. The bottom line,
however, remains the same: Fox News' John Gibson has pretty serious
"issues." Let's all hope he gets some help before he ends up hurting someone
— or himself.

Last night on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Senator Joe
Biden was the guest. Stewart asked Biden about his potential run for the White
House in 2008. Biden said he is in the process of going out and seeing if he has
the potential to win. This does not come as a shock since he has already been
saying that.

The part of the interview that really shocked me was when
he left a hint to who he might look at as a running mate. He started talking
about his close friend and fellow Senator John McCain. That’s right, could we
see a Democratic candidate for the White House with a Republican running mate.
This would be a definite stirring of the partisan pot on Capital Hill.

In 2000, I was a McCain supporter. Even though I am a
registered Democrat, I felt a good quality in John McCain and wanted to see him
win the primary. McCain offers a true life level of expertise that we
desperately need in the White House right now. The fact that he is a moderate
also adds to his list of credentials in my opinion.

So if we get into 2008, how will the extreme sides of the
partisan scale react to a mixed party ticket? The fact is both Biden and McCain
are moderates in their parties. They don’t follow the strict ideologies of
either party; they are both free thinking men that legislate from the mind and
not the allegiance of their party. This very well could be what our country
needs. Mend the divide amongst red and blue and try to paint the country more of
a purple.
