OK OK OK

Allright, so I admit, I got a little carried away with the 9/11--Iraq--terrorist--blah blah blahing. So we've heard it all before, and finally, the news is starting to catch fire that things are and have been a bit haywire, a touch screwy, a tad willy nilly. It's hard for me to see it all the way here in Spain, but I guess even Americans who never attended one of those dangerous liberal training camps, have started to realize that Bush is duller than the bottom of his cowboy boots, and that his administration's handling of the Iraq war, in fact the whole "war on terror" has been piss poor from the get go.
I have friends that don't want to read this crap anymore " ...just too many people talking about it." Maybe they still want to believe that because The Economist supported the Iraq invasion, it had to be the right thing to do. I don't know.

Americans can be a forgetful bunch. We often believe what we watch. Now more of the media is turning against the Administration. Many Americans are picking up what CNN and Newsweek are putting down. Some in the media are getting a little spine to stand up to Tony Snow's lines. But we must admit that the outlet with the most spine of all is FOX. It's like their backbone is made of the same steel as their hard heads. They manage to make a dark and stormy sky shine blue. The Republicans can do no harm.

And there are those who still listen to them. When FOX news changes it's line, then maybe our work is done
Yes, it's tedious, yes, it's repetetive. But it's finally tipping our way. And do we need to keep writing, reading, and talking about what is wrong with the little American policy picture, about war crimes, faulty media, the Constitution being turned on its head? Yes. We do. Because otherwise it's the status quo, and it becomes invisible. America and its citizens have the power and the potential to do a lot of good in the world. But there are many big kinks to work out. So if you are tired of reading, talking, or writing about the biggest mistakes, blunders, and misperceptions of and about the Bush team, the media, the three branches of our government, the Polish and KFC, then you need to drink a big cup of coffee, take a deep breath, and keep right on reading, writing, and talking. When things change, then we can take a break. Vale?

But just to lighten it up a bit, and get into something new, something that the whole blogosphere hasn't been writing about day after day after day after day...

OUR ASTRONAUTS HAVE UNPACKED A NEW RADIATOR!!
