A few months ago word of the Iraq deployment extensions leaked to the media. Most of the family members found out about the extensions via CNN. Soldiers in Iraq found out from spouses because the command over there had yet to announce the extension. Of course, this was spun as a GOOD thing for Soldiers. They would be GUARANTEED 12 months at home. It would provide predictability and stability for the families. Oh, and they would get THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS. Woo-hoo! Three thousand dollar...

When they announced the across-the-board deployment extensions,...

Oprah, Rusesabagina Given Freedom Awards Both individuals are receiving the National Civil Rights Museum's Freedom Award (National for Oprah, and International for Paul Rusesabagina). These awards recognize their sacrifices and efforts to aid their fellow man. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't believe that Oprah's fit to tie Paul Rusesabagina's shoe.

Marge: Mmmm ... who left these muddy claw prints on my clean floor? Homer: Sorry, Marge. Pinchy got all dirty in the yard chasing birds. But don't worry! I put him in a nice, hot bath.

[he runs out of the room worried] Later that night, Homer is crying at the dining room table, taking bites out of Pinchy's dead body while the family is watching. Homer: [eating, crying] Oh, ma...
