Oh Good Grief. Do We Really Scare That Easily?
The Republicans are pushing hard with the terrorism card. Apparently if the Democrats win, we will all be killed in our beds. The insane thing is that at least one poll is showing that it is working. Give me a %@^T$@ break! Can we really be such idiots that we are going to fall for this yet again?
You know what is making us less safe? The neo-con-led, utterly insane policy of this administration to push aside and ignore a real war on terror for a war against a guy who was mean to W's daddy.
Unfortunately (or fortunately? at least for my blood pressure), I am hip deep in work right now and can't really blog as much as I would like on this.
But before I leave, let me direct you to read Jonathan Alter's column in Newsweek from last week. The one that imagines a world that could have existed by now if Bush had a lick of sense. I just want to make thousands of copies of that page and paste them all over my walls and live in that world. A world that actually makes sense.

actually, i think we're all living in a cartoon, with President Bush and his minions playing the role of Lucy, football in hand. Members of the reality and fact-based citizenry are in Charlie Brown costume, preparing to take another run at that football...
i can't figure this one out either. maybe it is that we like melodrama so much as a nation. perhaps people have such small lives that this irrational fear titillates them. i have no other explanation because it is pure stupidity. yes, we should be alert and take steps- but in a free society you have to take risks to remain free. that's the point.
