The topic: What’s wrong with this picture?

----------------------------------------------

I'm not often political, but.....

Private Robin Long, 25, of Boise, Idaho, told a military judge at his sentencing yesterday that he left the country over moral objections to what he called an illegal war.

Then there's this:

The rule empowers federal health officials to pull funding from more than 584,000 hospitals, clinics, health plans, doctors' offices and other entities if they don't accommodate employees who refuse to participate in care that they find objectionable on personal, moral or religious grounds. “People should not be forced to say or do things they believe are morally wrong,” Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt said. “Health care workers should not be forced to provide services that violate their conscience.”

So, as long as your moral objections are aligned with those of the administration of the United States Government (or the G.W. Bush monarchy, I swear he thinks he’s king, he sure acts like it), they are a valid excuse for not doing your job.

Right.  Uh, huh.

I’m gettin’' this shirt, I swear I am.
