This Sunday episode of the strip has just the names of the US dead in Iraq.

Why does my posting the information connotate negativity, Finn?

President George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States of America, has accepted an invitation to be Honorary Chairman of The Presidents Cup when it returns to the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in 2005.

Well SOMEONE'S gotta 'honour' your war-dead. It's not as though the 'War President' is doing it - more pressing engagements....

What an outrage!

It's a disgraceful affront to the brave men and women who have given their lives for this great country!

Did either of you look at the date?
The Tournament is in 2005.Are you now complaining that he is going to do something after the election?
It sounds like you dont want him to do anything.
Assuming you get your wish and he loses re-election,what is wrong with him appearing there?

mysteryman - see that little emoticon rolling his eyes at the end of my posting? This is an indication that what I wrote was intended to be sarcastic, but I'm glad to see I did a good enough impression of a liberal to fool you.

As 1940s swing music blared from speakers and President Bush thanked the veterans for having "saved our country," some of them observed that the day had been too long in coming and that so many of their comrades who should have experienced it had died.
