I personally find it very difficult to take seriously the political opinions of the people that visited my college campus selling uncombed wool rollnecks and Guats, so I'll admit that the prospect of those people being launched off of Lake Shore Drive into Lake Michigan courtesy of a Chicago Police Department firehose during their pre-war protest march was amusing to me. On the down side, it would have been a strike against freedom of speech. On the up side, it would have been a grand slam for sanitation of the ne'er-be-washed.

Still, I think it's safe to say that we as a nation are now faced with a possibility more frightening than an asteroid turning New Mexico to a giant dust cloud. It's that some of those idiots might have been right. Of course, I don't think it's because they're particularly insightful or familiar with the intricacies of middle east policy. If you protest everything, you'll be right eventually. Regardless, this whole Iraq thing isn't panning out all that great. I think the Vietnam comparisons are probably more than a little bit of overstatement, but the sentiment might be accurate.

In the middle of all this, we've got campaigns going. That's good. Of course, there is the problem that, no matter what I end up deciding, Bush will be re-elected without breaking a sweat, thanks to his amazing fund-raising abilities, his inspirational public speaking, his central role in the Masonic Illuminati conspiracy, and to the DNC for being completely incapable of putting an electable candidate on the ballot.

I suppose I'm excited that Wesley Clark is throwing his hat in the ring, though I'm not sure why. I don't remember Kosovo going all that great. I also think it's kind of funny that the wacky little man from Vermont offered him the VP spot and was rejected. If anything, I suspect it'd wind up going the other way around.

More than anything, though, I wish Joe would shut up and quit already. America will elect an Hispanic before it elects a Jew, and you heard that here first, Amigo.

Isn't it nice when I break it down political stylee? People would pay good money for that, but they don't.
