My Two Cents - Doug Bailey

Wow. I had no idea all this political e-banter was
even going on. How exciting! It's just like living on
a college campus!

Anyway, my two cents are these:

1) who the heck cares how we spell HezbEelA?! Even
Dictionary.com doesn't know how to spell it! And since
I've been enrolled in History-324 (Islam in Russia and
the Soviet Union), I've come to realize the
transliteration of Arabic is truly the least of our
concerns. The "experts" can't even agree on how to
spell Muhammed (Mohammad, Muhammad, Muhamid, etc), let
alone HezbEelA, Jikhad, and other words pertaining to
the current conflict. If we can't agree on something
as trivial as spelling, how in tarnation are we
supposed to continue on with the discussion??? I
propose we call HezbEelA the "Hezbos" from now on (as
Rush so aptly named them). And let's refer to Muhammad
as "Cat Stevens" from now on as well; after all, the
artist changed his name to "Islam", so Cat Stevens is
up for grabs.

2) We should start a BLOG.

3) I agree with Jane. I'm for the war because of the
reasons we're there (the reasons have been articulated
REPEATEDLY by our Commander in Chief as of late [and
rather eloquently, I might add {especially for a dumb
boy from Texas}]).

4) I take back my introduction to these four points:
"my two cents" and ask that you place "Five" were
"two" is.

5) I love you all. Especially Uncle Roger. And to a
slightly lesser extent, Michael and Dicky (but only
because your names are harder to spell [Mikil, Mikel,
Mikle, Meikel...Dickey, Dickie, Dickee, Dicki...])
