Waking up. Drinking coffee. Coffee’s another drug in my life, but I’ve already written about that on numerous occasions.
My waking thought was… Well, there were two waking thoughts. One was based on the idea that when someone slams the back door, the whole house shudders. So the first waking thought was, “What the fuck was that?” followed quickly by, “Oh. Slammed door. I’m awake now.”
The next waking thought was an odd juxtaposition after the first one. I thought, The Democrats really don’t care. Hillary Clinton was up there trying to sound presidential, talking about containing Iraq and other assorted bullshit, when in fact, she was signing away her own future presidential campaign. It’s all a huge gamble for them, but it’s not about balancing one good of the nation against another good of the nation, it’s about balancing future election results against November.
I bet anyone a beer that we don’t invade Iraq before November elections. Bush has been making all kinds of noises about needing to invade this month, but now that he’s got his resolution (and, more importantly to him, he’s got the Democrats’ votes on the thing), we can relax a little on it.
Democrats fear Republicans. Republicans have contempt for Democrats. It’s classic co-dependency.
Time for an intervention.

I think we should line up the House and the Senate and “n-u-c-l-e-a-r” all of them. Then we should strip the Supreme Court naked and and make them look in the mirror. Then we should take lil Bushy, oh fuck him!
a big AMEN, brotha homer! btw: when are you running for office? i’d vote for you anyday! ~cheers~
I’ve been sick the past three days, and coffee makes me feel so ill…. I’m most distressed by it.
That’s a sucker bet. Considering the US doesn’t have assets in place to invade Iraq yet and they’re still trying to get the big world players to give some degree of signoff (or approval by silence), no duh that they won’t invade before the Nov election.
I don’t remember anything about Bush saying we needed to invade in October (“this month”). I remember it being more of the diplomatic Sooner-Rather-Than-Later. But I’m sure having the vote of the resolution before the next elections was important to them. Afterall, nobody knows what the makeup of Congress will be then. If you’re playing the odds, better to go with the devil you know over the devil you don’t. But hell, that’s just Washington politics the way it’s been done for at least a century. Nothing new there at all.
From what I’ve seen there are alot of Democrats with contempt for Republican and Republicans who fear Democrats too.
