I am absolutely outraged by Senator McCain's remarks. On many levels: this week is the anniversary of the Oklahoma bombings, this week is the anniversary of the Columbine School massacre, this week is the anniversary of the Waco deaths, the deaths this week at Virginia Tech.

AND, my name is Barbara Anne.

This is already a week filled with many more deaths than this country can handle. It is outrageous that anyone in a position of power in this government would make a joke about bombing another country. Especially, during a time when we politically are trying to avoid doing just that.

If you are as angry as I am, please write to him:

Thanks.

Done. I'm with you Barb. He completely violated that song, and his chuckle afterward was downright scary. It's bad enough we glorify war, death, and destruction. It's NOT a laughing matter. Then we wonder why our kids would choose to take out their frustration with a violent pre-emptive strike on their perceived enemies.

I'll try my best to think of YOU the next time I hear that song!

Let's have a little rehearsal first....

Moose, Moose, Moose,
Moose Moosey Anne.

I am beyond appalled by that callousness

The awful tragedy in Virginia, coupled with the images after those horrendous bomb blasts in Iraq are filling the media, and yet here is a person of stature, who has personally experienced the brutality and sorrow of war, singing about adding to it all.
