Mea Culpa

As if anyone reads my little rant-fest, but if someone does, I'm sorry that I have had nothing to say lately. I have started school and appear to be too busy to have an opinion on anything. Sure, Rush Limbaugh is reprehensible but what else is new? Mr. Bush again is either so out of touch or so hypocritical that he can declare October 1st National Children's Health Day, and then veto S-CHIP a few days later, which would have insured four million children for their...health.
On Air America there is a radio program that airs in Portland at 3AM, while I am doing my deliveries. It's called "The Young Turks" as it is hosted by a Turkish-born American named Cenk Yugar (I probably got that last name mis-spelled but the first is pronounced Jenk). A few weeks ago he had a discussion about Bush, as to whether he was stupid or evil. I vote for both. He is stupid enough to do a great deal of evil by listening to truly evil advisers like Cheney and Rove. There might be a few parallels to a certain central european country in the 1930s here. I can truly see a middle class couple sitting in Munich in 1939 commenting on the need to invade Czechoslovakia or Austria. Sure, they might be able to justifiy it, but then Hitler wants to invade Poland? Wait a minute. They might write a letter to the editor, or their local representative in government, but they discover they have no way to stop this idiot. I feel that way about the talk about invading Iran. There seems to be nothing we can do to stop these guys.
I have a sick feeling that we have fifteen months for Bush/Cheney to start an incident in the middle east, nuke Iran and then reveal themselves on national television, in ermine lined robes and gold crowns, as the representatives of Christ on Earth, sent here to bring about the Revelations of St. John the Babtist.... and then I wake up and towel off the cold sweat.
