Applied Indifference

Will someone please sell this man a clue? I mean, can he really believe any of this?

Seriously - Who does he propose as a “legitimate international entity”? The U.N.? NATO? France?

And denying rebuilding contracts to countries that opposed our entry into Iraq was PRECISELY the correct thing to do. At least three countries (Russia, France, Germany) opposed us because they knew that eventually their involvement in the theft that was the U.N. Oil-for-Palaces program would come out. Their dual goals of not interrupting the gravy train, and not having the world see just what these countries were doing while men, women, and children were fed to shredders were powerful motivation for them to not upset the tea-cart.

Try again John.

Crimson (my Doberman) had surgery last friday. Not a really big deal, had a tumor removed from her head (just below her right ear). Anyhow, in the process of removing thtat tumor, the vet was forced to remove a piece of the nerve that connects to the muscles that control blinking in her right eye.

It’s Monday night as I write this, and her brain has already worked out a mechanism using the lower internal eyelid to blink and keep the eye moistened. And it looks like she has at least partial movement in the upper external eyelid already. No, I am not seeing things, she blunk!

So it appears her brain has already started working on a replacement control path to protect the eye!

Alright, Senator Kerry. Gas prices are going up. What do you do about it?

Do you:

1. Raise gas taxes by 50¢ per gallon to promote conservation.
2. Kiss the sandals of the Saudi oil barons and hope they increase production.
3. Moan and complain while still tooling around in a convoy of SUV’s.
4. Inconvenience a few Caribou and drill for oil in Alaska.
5. Suck it up and deal with it.

If you’re John Kerry, you do #1 or 2. If you’re George Bush, you do #4. If you’re a hypocrite, you do #3. If you’re one of the rest of us, you do #5.

Sure, I’ll comment on how the price is a bit steep. But I don’t moan about it, I pay it and move on. The only time you’ll actually hear me complaining about it is when the price goes up 40¢ in one jump, in one day.
