Killing Time Tonight
I thought that I would post a few links to some interesting stuff in the absence of some real content. The first link is to a video by my favorite punk/anti-bush band NoFX for The Idiot Son Of An Asshole. It's really worth a listen, and even a download from i-tunes. I am still looking for more music though. I am kinda stuck in the punk, late 80's early 90's music. I refuse to listen to the radio anymore. But asking for music advice leads to losing friends, sadly. So, I will do my own looking thanks.
In addition, today marks a milestone in the war in Iraq, 1000 US soldiers have died, that's one third as many that died in the 9/11 tragedy itself. How are we "protecting" American lives if we just keep throwing them away? That's just my opinion though, and who am I?
Americans can hold honorably different views about what a young John Kerry, veteran of Vietnam, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971 about the war. But those views should be based on what Kerry actually said, not on distorted versions of his testimony being peddled by others, including the ironically named Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
President Bush ranked in the middle of his Air National Guard flight class and flew 336 hours in a fighter jet before letting his pilot status lapse and missing a key readiness drill in 1972, according to his flight records belatedly uncovered Tuesday under the Freedom of Information Act.Welfare grants starve: The federal government funds welfare with so-called block grants to states, which have not been raised since 1996 and provide no adjustment for inflation. Even though programs are getting pinched, no increase is on the horizon.
I hope that that will give you something to do this evening. Maybe I will get around to writing something more in the morning but for now I must sit back and watch some TV until I can find sleep again. At least I have some good movies on TiVo.
