Enough already. No more whining about poor Armando (may his rhetoric continue with another user ID) or missing Ykos because of the costs, kids or prior commitments. Meta-Jesus is tired, weeping perhaps. There is work to be done here. The country has gone to hell in the proverbial handbasket and we are spending waaaay too much time on non-political issues. Hate war or troll wars - they are all a diversion to keep us from what we do best: blog with facts attached.
So WYFP, politically (not bloggily) speaking?
The death of Al-Zarqawi will be touted by Bushco as a victory for democracy. But it ain't Al-qaida that is in a civil war; it's Sunnis against Shiites, brothers against cousins, neighbor against neighbor. Al-qaida has taken Mogadishu in the face of US support for the local warlords. Where's the press? Osama who???
The republicans want to put reform of Social Security on the agenda, while delaying the issue of health care until 2007, 08, or beyond. May I remind you all that if you don't have health care - and the issue is a major one for most Americans - it doesn't really matter if you have Social Security when you're dead before you can collect.
Do you think your kids or grandkids are getting better educated through intelligent design in science classes? Do you believe that global warming is fuzzy science?
Has your long-term relationship been threatened by the presence of gay couples? Have you had an unrelenting urge to burn a flag??
Is someone listening to your conversations and checking your e-mail? Anybody decided you needed help in determining whom you actually meant to vote for in an election?
Have you noticed New Orleans isn't rebuilt? Think it will withstand this hurricane season? Think Haliburton's profits will drop if it doesn't?
Aw, c'mon. There's sooo many problems out there. And they're not all gonna be solved in Vegas. WYFP and will you write a diary on it? Without referring to another blog or blogger? And if you can't write a diary, well, at least take the poll.
PLEASE.
