Skin in the Game

Cindy Sheehan is a one-woman soundbite machine. That’s what happens when a person speaks honestly from their soul. Check out the latest, said in response to the winger thugs who are smearing her:

€œ[They don€™t have skin in the game. They don€™t have anybody over there. They don€™t have sleepless nights worried about their loved ones.€

    For YEARS NOW I’ve been saying it’s time for the Bush twins (fresh out of college) to quit throwing those Satan-horns signs at pot parties and rush to the nearest marine recruiter. Maybe the marines could work out some sort of special indulgence to let them smoke more pot so as to be able to tolerate the filthy peasants that will be fighting along side them.
