The 110th Congress didn't bring the troops home. John McCain isn't interested in bringing the troops home. Barack Obama wants to redeploy the troops to another unnecessary, likely quagmire in Afghanistan. And, last week President Bush decides he wants to bring the troops home by 2011.

It would be funny if it's weren't so sad, laughable if it wasn't so obscene, farcical if it's wasn't so tragic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFpL2N9K9qA.

Jonathan Leigh Solomon is a (retired) stand-up comedian who appeared regularly on "Late Night with David Letterman" and the "Late Show with David Letterman," co-hosted the MTV morning show, "Awake On the Wild Side," was the host of the late, great, sorely missed NBC children's program, "Kid's TV," and the star and co-creator of the not so greatly missed Fox sit-com "Bachelor Life." Among the television shows Jonathan has written for are Michael Moore's "TV Nation" and "Mad About You." In 2000, as a member of Vice-President Gore's press pool, he covered the presidential race for Politics.Com, filing his column "Solomon Wises to the Occasion" and appearing regularly as a featured guest on political talk-show programs offering fact-filled punditry. In his spare time, Jonathan continues his work as history's greatest political consultant. He wrote, "Our long national nightmare is over," for Gerald R. Ford. Prior to consulting with Jonathan, Ford had been planning to go with, "Wow, I'm president! Can you believe it?! Me! Gerry Ford! Wow!!! Now who do I gotta' pardon to keep this gig?"
