So Much Crap...
I apologise for the lack of posts these past weeks but I have been busier than Iraqi election officials trying to get verything taken are of in my personal life. Quick update: My eagle scout project is finished and ready for presentation, all that I have left is the mound of paperwork and the usual round of meetings etc...
Now on to the fun stuff.
Iraq: Elections have been set and life is moving steadily along for everyone over there. As predicted the Shi'ite population has probably gained a majority of the seats in the newly formed Iraqi assembly and the Sunni's and Kurds will be left with a small amount of seats that will serve more as symbols and less as voting controls for the new consitution and president. Super.
Here at home:
The State of the Union Address was, in a word, predictable. The President delivered the usual round of freedom's and liberties. On the whole it was a review of the standard Neo-Con platform: cut social programs, increase military spending, pass the buck on to the next president as far as a financial burden. The most interesting aspect of the speech was a mention of alternative sources of energy. I fell out of my seat when I heard what he had to say regarding new sources of energy. On the whole it was laughable in its content but for one of the first times quasi-respectable in its delivery, save the 63, yes 63, pauses for applause.
So as I sit here in theory of Knowledge, being bothered to mention Alyssa, listening to a student lecture on Wittgenstein I wonder what the state of tomorrow's union will be. Where will our nation's military next strike in the war on terror? In his words, "From Damascus to Tehran (pronounced TAY-RAWN) we will continue to spread democracy in the chase...for freedom."
Other than that not much has been happening in the world, sad to say. The Super Bowl was sub-par, the patriots earned their dynasty and the half-time show was watered down, thanks Janet.
This week will see the introduction of the Rice doctrine for the mid-east and a trip for Dr. Rice to visit the troubled region.
next post I will be sure to mention my full policy on Social Security and the problems facing the con's with trying to pass legislation on such a dumb idea.
Ironically, today's Junior State meeting will concern social security, should be a heated discussion if everyone stays in topic.
Peace...Land...Bread (such a concept)

I agree. As someone who also watched the 3+ hours of house debate, I also think that it is ridiculous that all 3 branches of the government are getting involved so that one woman can spend the rest of her days confined to a bed well....vegetating. All that while we have a war, a struggling economy and a sorely incompetent president.
