First off, calling anything posted on what amounts to a personal web site a "Policy statement" seems like the height of arrogance and delusional self-importance.
Secondly, although I really don't want to see Bush get elected -- note that I do not say "re- elected" -- I also really don't want to see Iraq blow up in his face/on his watch, so the kind'a gleeful partisan observations of the various setbacks ain't doing a thing for me. The partisan suggestions that policy over there be conducted more with an eye for his domestic election campaign have precisely the same effect, which happily means I can avoid explicitly political blogs on both sides of the aisle at the moment.
Third, "both sides of the aisle" is an incredibly depressing way of having to look at things, and I've moved from wishing a pox on both your houses to "fuck all y'all." Not sure what difference that makes in practical terms, but the swearing conveys the sentiment better, I think.
Lastly, if you're pleased with the use of Sarin against anyone, anywhere, because it helps you score political points, you're a monstrous excuse for a human being, and should kill yourself at the earliest possible convenience. Preferably with Sarin, for that extra bit of irony that the kids are all into these days.
Any questions? Comments?
I can honestly appreciate where you're coming from, Aaron; certainly far more than a lot of folks. So many folks have far less reasoning than you show when it comes to politics, but though we disagree on a fair amount politically, I truly appreciate and respect you and your opinions far more than a lot (and that includes some of my so-called political compatriots, too)...
I would ask who is pleased about the sarin, but since I don't want to know them, I don't want to know.
Michael, thanks. But we all know you're just saying that because I told you about that showing of Godzilla near you. :-)
Ginger, in their defense, I think the happiness (if that's even the right word) is due to having confirmation that Iraq hadn't actually destroyed all their chemical weapons, as the previous government had claimed.
I was a bit surprised that Rumsfeld was cautioning patience until further tests were performed. Because "Rumsfeld" and "cautioning patience" aren't usually in that order, or that subject/verb pattern, in the same sentence.
Rumsfeld's new-found patience is due to the hand-slap he received with a two-by-four courtesy of his boss...
Someone told me in my comments recently that I was in agreement with Rumsfeld on a certain bit of Iraq policy. I valiantly refrained from saying "even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day".
So on last week's all new episode of Static Shock, Static finally (well, is forced to) reveals to his dad that he's Static.
And for the first time, in like ever, Gear and his bang baby brain saved the day.
It was all very emotional.
What? I watched that on DVR instead of Sunday Morning News shows and I don't really read asshole political blogs anymore so I have no idea what else you could be talking about.
He did!? Damn! I missed it!?
