Limbaugh caught with pills again

[hammondanon]

Rush Limbaugh detained for drug possession in the Dominican Republic.I rather enjoy this guy's humiliation, but I'm not the least bit zealous about the damn drug war. But the problem is this fat sleaze has probably done more than anybody (before he got popped) to get Republicans in office who have kept the drug war going

NEW YORK (AP) - As a member of the U.S. army National Guard, Nadine Beckford patrolled New York City train stations after Sept. 11, 2001 with a 9 mm pistol, then served a treacherous year in Iraq.

Now, six months after returning, Beckford lives in a homeless shelter.

"I'm just an ordinary person who served. I'm not embarrassed about my homelessness because the circumstances that created it were not my fault," said Beckford, 30, who was a military-supply specialist at a base in Iraq that was a sitting duck for around-the-clock attacks.

Thousands of U.S. veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are facing a new nightmare - the risk of homelessness. The U.S. government estimates several hundred vets who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan are homeless on any given night across the country, although the exact number is unknown.

The reasons that contribute to the new wave of homelessness are many: some are unable to cope with life after daily encounters with insurgent attacks and roadside bombs; some can't navigate government red tape; others simply don't have enough money to afford a house or apartment.

Homeless veterans, tax breaks for the rich, soaring deficits, and a coward in the White House. I don't like your version of America and I have the right to say so...err until Republicans take that away and give it to the rich.

I wouldn't say the case is typical. But the Bush cuts to veteran's services are. The use of Depleted Uranium and the failure to equip our forces properly are VERY typical. I'd be interested in how these decisions can be defended.
