A scare

Everyone was gone when I returned home from my aluminum can collection business tonight, so I sat down at the kitchen table and waited for Ofjoshua to return and make me dinner. After about 15 minutes, Ofjoshua called and said that she was at the hospital with our grandson. He had a terrible headache, a fever, and he'd been throwing up.

He was a mess when I arrived. He was dehydrated. He was pale and listless. His appearance scared the hell out of me.

All that changed after the doctors put two liters of IV solution into his little six-year old body. He's almost his old self again.

I'm not. I'm drained. It was horrible.

I don't think I'm up to posting anything original tonight, so I'll leave you with something reader Brad sent me. The author of this letter to the Corvallis Gazette-Times is obviously a god-fearing soldier in The General's militia.

GOP is doing its bit for recruitment

With all the good things our leader is doing, it's no wonder that our country is awash with miracles: Rep. Tom DeLay, along with Karl Rove, remains unindicted.

Mr. Bolton has been given his rightful place at the table of our leader, and national security-minded conservatives Â? such as the Clemens Foundation Â? continue to defend our shores by protecting our youth from the weed of Communism at Oregon State University.

I, for one, am happy that the Clemens Foundation is doing its part in the Glorious Conservative Cultural Revolution. With the armed forces likely to miss even its reduced recruiting targets for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, the Army raising the age of enlistment to 42 and its lowering of enlistment standards, steps must be made to entice enlistments.

It is the hard work of such groups and people as House Speaker Karen Minnis, R-Wood Village, the Clemens Foundation and the College Republicans, who are doing their part to encourage heterosexual American youth of Oregon to consider the military. By cutting off funds, raising college costs and fighting liberal bias on campus, they are only aiding our working class in making those sacrifices during war. After all, who wants a draft?
