4000 Dead and Do Not Reply

4000 Dead - The Iraq War, just days after its fifth anniversary, has claimed its 4000th victim. This doesn't include the thousands of casualties the war has also claimed or the untold number of Iraq civilians. From beginning to end this war has been nothing but disaster, nothing to do with 9/11 and entirely everything to do with Bush's naive attempt at a legacy and Cheney's desire to grow Halliburton. Doesn't help that he thinks the biggest burden was carried by Bush rather then the dead and damaged. I guess it’s the fault of the "all volunteer force" that came to action after 9/11 thinking they would be fighting an actual war on terror rather then a campaign of ego on the part of the White House.

DoNotReply.com - Just a note that if you reply to an email from donotreply@donotreply.com, Chet Faliszek gets it. He is the owner of the donotreply.com domain and he apparently doesn't have a problem blogging about the odder emails he gets which includes personal information, company policies and internal memos. Suffice it to say, if you know your company uses that address or any @donotreply.com addresses, it’s in their best interest to try something else.
