“A top-ranking official at the Department of Veterans Affairs defends the agency’s treatment of disabled veterans and denies the agency has tried to cover up the number of veterans committing suicide.”

Top-ranking official = Bush Crony.

Believe it or not, people who know me call me calm.

Veterans are dying.

I once read an article. A boy had returned from Iraq. He couldn’t shut his mind up. He drank and drank and drank and wanted nothing more than to die. He called the VA, told them he wanted to kill himself. “Are you drinking?” the VA asked. “Yes,” the Marine answered. “Sorry,” the VA apologized, “but you have to quit drinking before we can see you.”

The Marine found a piece of rope. He found a beam of wood. He hung himself. He found his peace.

I imagine the lost books, the lost paintings, the lost beauty.

Bush and his cronies drink the finest wines and sleep in the softest beds tonight.

It makes me want to kill every night.
