Veterans Day

Right now the New York Stock Exchange is paused to commemorate Veterans Day.

I have a couple of suggestions for the Democrats who are now in charge.

1. Encourage people to actually support the troops by getting everyone involved in the war. Point us to ways to help like Booksforsoldiers.org, anysoldier.org that help the troops get things that make life a bit easier in combat. Conserve energy, since Mr. Bush has now, finally, admitted that we are in Iraq for the oil. Shoot, if you knit you can make helmet liners, help pay for helmets with Cher, get them body armor. Prove that we actually support them.

2. Darfur, Darfur, Darfur. Genocide is not acceptable. We need to do more than we're doing. Show the world that we are compassionate.

Raising minimum wage and lowering prescription drug prices are a great start. Let's use the power we have been given to improve all lives.
