Didn't Have My Glasses On - Thought It Said Hagel Wants To Reinstate Draft.....

Woke up this a.m. and turned the TV on to MSNBC. I read the caption at the bottom of the screen and thought it said 'Hagel Wants To Reinstate Draft' and I was surprised. I put the glasses on and they were interviewing Charley Rangel. It really read 'Rangel Wants To Reinstate Draft'. Whew.....

That's all we need is to get these two guys mixed up. It could weigh on Hagel's confirmation as SOD.

Involuntary servitude is not welcome in 2013.

He needs to help the President push his 2nd-term agenda or go the fuck home.

Wait a second - what if Rangel, being a dedicated public servant, disagrees with the president on some points of his agenda - should he just keep his mouth shut?

Trying to end wars by feeding more people into the maw of the beast is faulty logic at best.
