    It's so refreshing to hear that President Bush is someone's hero, he's been denigrated so much by many people.

    My very best to Captain Kobe and I hope that he wins the million bucks!

    I'm not your basic Bush supporter, but it was a classy thing to do. I'll add my best wishes to Donna for his success. I suspect facing a bunch of models carrying money in briefcases would be one of his more easier missions :) .

    President Bush … a hero …??

    I thought the military outlawed the use of hallucinogenic drugs while on active duty.

    At any rate, I wish the captain the best of luck.

    Just because someone decides not to subscribe to the homogeneous idiosyncrasies that are a part of your hyperpartisan mind set doesn't mean they're taking "hallucinogenic drugs", CF. However, I will agree with you that this Army Captain deserves the best of luck. I truly hope he does well.

    I saw the piece and played very well. I taped it to digital, so I'll try to put something together.
