I assume that people are waiting until the Iraq occupation and war funding bill actually passes before they begin rioting.

Mitt Romney wants to invade and conquer 45 additional square miles of Cuba

Or is there another way to interpret his May 16 comment "My view is, we ought to double Guantanamo." I mean, I suppose he might merely being saying that he wants to increase the number of prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp so that the super evil terrorist murdering scum terrorists will live in closer quarters and thus be able to better compare notes on their evil terrorist plans.

Romney might want to clarify this as I will have a hard time getting behind any presidential candidate that does not tell me he, or even she, is going to invade another country. I certainly won't believe they have a chance at winning.

I am sick of hearing about George Tenet and some book he's authored. I concluded that he acting despicably as the CIA chief a long time ago and, unless something comes up that might alter that impression, I do not want to hear about him.

Of course, things will no doubt get worse before too long.

I rarely remember my dreams, but I am sure that I’ve been having nightmares about the day Donald Rumsfeld or Paul Wolfowitz comes out with a book. The media attention will be far greater and so will my desire to start poking a particular person with a sharp stick.
