10. Because Tom Ridge told me on national TV, a bit petulantly, I thought, that he had spent three months coming up with his crayon code. This from the man in charge of my security. (My next post will deal with the absolute inappropriate response of our girly-man government, by jumping on a chair and screaming when Osama the Rat scurried across the floor. Kerry was right on this one. We needed a concerted world-wide police effort and not a unilateral blitzkrieg.}
- Rumsfeld is still my Defense Secratary. He had an idea and it did not work. Why is he still Defense Secratary? Maybe, if he was flexible and had other ideas, but he isn't, and he doesn't.
- Because we all know our President is not the brightest bulb on the tree, but he shows what a great leader he is by all the great minds he has brought into his administration...like, er, ummm...I wish you had submitted this screened question in advance. I mean there must be somebody...I'm sure any minute I'll think of someone...Please, get me the Dixie Chicks, I want them to know I am embarassed to live in the same country as GW TeenyTree.
- Because my government is totally opaque, and that is supposed to be a big no-no in a civil democratic republic. It might be expected in an autocratic government, like a corporate oligarchy, (e.g., fascist, Nazi, Franco's Spain). But since my government is so totally opaque, how can I know which kind of government it is trying to be?
- Because I used to rest peacefully knowing only a few 10,000's of assorted crazies wanted to pull a Manson on me and my family. I do not feel better now that several billion people want to waste me and my whole country.
- Because it looks like we just trashed our allies, leaving us alone against the world. Before the war, Iraq oil contracts went to France, Germany, Russia, with China knocking. After the war, it is all ours. Makes sense they did not want to help us rape themselves.
- Because of 5, the whole world must be licking their lips. I hope they do not find out that the quickest way to save our planet is to kill America.
- If the Western Hegemony is cracking up, will we be up late worrying about attacks from Mexico or Fiji?
- My President has revealed to everyone that 8 US divisions can not subdue a basket case of a country, like Iraq. I pray China, or India, or the Great Muslim masses do not notice this and react in ways that will not make me sleep well.
- Because more than half my neighbors seem hell-bent on allowing our President to destroy our planet. They must all have tickets on that rocket hiding behind the Hale-Bopp comet, but I don't!
