Single What? Female...

it's taken a couple of days...

to calm down...

Sunday September 10th, I turn on the TV and see George and Laura placing a wreath on a reflecting pool down at Ground Zero. I did not expect the visceral reaction I had at watching him do that; feeling as if it were more of an insult rather than a gesture of mourning. All I could think of was "How DARE he be here..."

One is left picturing the footage of him in the second grade classroom as he got the news...and he sat there, looking befuddled and lost and turning ever redder...but remaining in the classroom and not doing anything until the visit was over.

And then he made is Oval Office address, taking a moment to speak to the mourning of a nation five years later to play politics and throw in how Iraq was indeed a threat (despite the fact that a recent CIA report published said that Iraq was more worried about being attacked and had no intention of attacking us).

And again he had to use the phrase "We are safter but not yet safe"...and again I am left to say "DARN TOOTIN! and do ya know WHY?!?!? It's because you and your people have made nearly every nation in the world HATE us, you IGNORANT, ARROGANT BASTARD!" I mean when Tony Blair is essentially being forced to resign due to his connection to Bush and the Iraq, that really is saying something. Or at least it should be, but once can't be sure how much the White House is paying attention. Okay whom am I kidding, they know and they must be a bit cranky: "Tony, Tony, my man, are you cuttin' and runnin'?"

I am glad that the Dems are speaking out against that address, we just need them NOW to come together and come up with an actual exit plan for Iraq, a real direction for the "war on terror" and to just take over the House and Senate...the people are watching, listening and waiting...

SO KEEP EMAILING!!! Email, call, write, fax your friends and family, your Congressfolk and the Press and let them know that you are indeed paying attention and want these folk out in 2006 and in 2008. And as always, pass it on, pass it on, pass it on :)

Peace --Alex
