Misc. Ramblings

It's that time of the year. What time is that? It's Christmas tree decorating hints with Iris and Fern. They're the Katz and they know how to setup a tree until it's purrrfect.

Okay, so it's not a deep political examination of the underlying problems of the Bush administration and how they thought once Saddam was captured all hostilities would cease since the Iraqi resistance was clearly so hierarchical and unable to act as autonomous units, unlike ours which were so well equipped and trained (is that a run-on sentence or what? -ed.). In fact, more U.S. soldiers have died in the year since the capture of Saddam then the year before. In fact fighting has intensified in the year since Saddam has been captured than the year before. In fact, all the Neocon *pundits were wrong. They were wrong about the weapons of mass destruction (remember those?). They were wrong about "Mission Accomplished." They were were wrong about how to conduct the war. They are wrong about how to end the war. They are wrong about Abu Ghurayb prison. They were wrong about the break down in society that occurs when a political power vacuum exists. Dead wrong.

And yet, he got re-elected. Well, all I can say is don't blame me, I voted for Kerry.

Posting will, through the end of the year, remain light and spotty. Some of this is because things are so busy at work and partly it's I will be on vacation later this month.
