Mike your recent posts are hard-hitting, and on point, and that includes the art. I admire the way you keep slogging away despite all the bad news, (Alito) and now Bush is going to pollute the air waves (State of the Union) and the national conversation Tuesday night. I have just lost interest for now in adding to the conversation over on my corner of the Web. But keep up the good work!

I wanted to say one more thing. Suppose a president of the United States decreed that he was going to designate one or two or four or five or more randomly selected young men to die each day. Just picked them out for the death penalty. Immediately.
And then he would pick out maybe a dozen or so each day to surgically lose a leg or an arm or be rendered blind. The country would rise up and say, hey, this guy is mad. He has to be removed from office immediately and imprisoned in a hospital for the criminally insane.
What is really the difference between what is actually happening in Iraq and my hypothetical?

Yeah, you noticed. I've been getting angrier over the last week for some reason. I think it's because none of this, Iraq, spying, Abramoff, crazy religious nuts, bigotry as a political issue, and all the rest isn't resolving in any way.
I generally don't enter the new year filled with optimism, but at least I expected something. I don't know what.
But the frustration is leaking out.
And on the second comment, be careful. Reframing illogical policy into logical parallels my make you mad. You're right.
Or maybe if he had sent them somewhere where they were dying of conditions, not of direct action, and left to fend for themselves without food and water for days as a number began to die from the stresses. Maybe a convention center....
Mike
Just angry right now, I guess.

" I went to Iraq, and all I got was this lousy stump. But I can afford community college now. Thanks president Bush."
