Here is my response to Wil Wheaton's recent post about Bush giving himself the power to go through our mail:
| Ultimately, we have to ask ourselves: Does this effect me? I, personally, have to answer in the negative. Just because the government gives themselves the power to do something doesn't mean they're going to... certainly not to me, anyway. Keep your nose clean and there's nothing to worry about. |
Okay, so I admit it. I haven't followed the war in Iraq. At all. I feel a bit ashamed of my apparent indifference to a war that will most likely go down in the books as the next Viet Nam.
If I'm not going to go as far as speaking my mind to anyone who will listen, I may as well keep myself informed, just in case someone asks for something more than a shrug of the shoulders. But where can I get the latest, accurate information, preferably sans Bush-bashing? Not that I like Bush--I don't--but enough already!
Fortunately, I think I may have found my preferred source of the latest info in the form of the oddly named IraqSlogger.com. When I figure out what the heck the name means, I'll let you know.
It’s not often that I write about politics, but after reading just the first couple paragraphs of this AP article on PE.com, I had to comment. According to the article, Bush is not going to withdraw our troops from Iraq until the country is "stabilized". First of all, what is his criteria for or definition of a stabilized Iraq? And, perhaps more importantly, will Iraq ever be in any degree of stability? Not likely.
Sorry, boys. You’re not coming home. Ever.
