Guantanamo a Relaxing Place, Miss Universe says.

Miss Succotash Queen from Illinois Normal has been elected head of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Say what you will about her personal life, but her record on the issues is solid, IMO.

She did marry a surgeon...

Why? Great advertising. "Join the army, see miss w.., I mean the world". Perfect for most teenage boys.

I can only understand the hoopla as a knee jerk reaction to the phrase 'Guantanamo Bay'.

We had a USO show with the Washington Redskins cheerleaders come out to our dusty little patrol base on my last tour. We killed people all the time, including once or twice innocents. Where's the furor?
