Aww Man...

Found out that my corneas are too thin for Lasik surgery. Damn. Too bad.
##
Have a cough today, picked it up from my little Petri dish Jason. Boy oh boy, was he happy to see Tananarive when he walked through the door today. Her trip to St. Louis was a total success, and the Joplin folks apparently loved her Ragtime renditions. Very cool.
##
So Iran has no gay people? According to it’s president, that’s the case. Well, that says something about the value of having him speak for himself, in a public forum. You can catch him in a bare-faced lie, or detect evidence of serious delusion. I now feel perfectly comfortable assuming he’s lying and/ or deluded about anything else he says, as well.

Sigh. So what’s needed is neutral observers evaluating the Iranian potential for future mischief. Unfortunately, I smell too much similarity between the White House’s comments about Iran and what was said about Iraq. Unless neutral observers suggested that Iran was an emergency situation that HAD to be dealt with within the next 12 months, I would have no interest in trusting Bush and his people—they floundered our way into the most ghastly mistake I’ve ever seen, and I have no reason to believe that they have really learned from their mistakes.

If they’re mistakes. With every additional former member of the administration who criticizes Bush, I have a deeper and deeper, sicker feeling that as soon as Bush is out of the White House, no longer able to manipulate and threaten, there will be facts arising about the entire Iraq war that will make Watergate look like nothing at all.


My Conservative Republican readers: you are faithful, and loyal, and I think you’d be great friends and neighbors. But I honestly believe that your tendency to stand by your principles, and support your elected leaders—especially in war time—has been sorely abused. We’ll get over this, and back on track. I don’t expect any agreement on this, and I’m not offering pity.

But as more and more of you have to admit that Iraq is a misadventure of the most horrible magnitude, I’m sure you have to ask yourself if you wouldn’t have come to that conclusion sooner had the “political football” aspect of the entire situation not been so alive—much as Feminists glossed over Bill Clinton’s infidelities because they liked other aspects of his political philosophy.

I think we’ll be years healing from this.
