set my recorder to record them. Which I can do remotely from here, so...

See, I do this by calling a neighbor and asking them to go to my house and pop a tape in for me. Not quite there yet with the high tech tv stuff.

Texas law-talkin' at its best.

Wow. That's really--Wow.

Are We Really Going To Nuke Iran?

So, again, is this for real? Are Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney really thinking about nuking Iran? If they're not, and assuming that Hersh's sources are good (as they usually are), what are these nuclear options, debates, and war plans all about? Here are a few possibilities:

And it's got a stream of blood on it! It must have been left there by Dr. Manhattan.

Well, when I see a happy face, my first instinct is usually to stab it in the head. So it's nice to see I'm in tune with the universe, if not my own country.

Heh.

Maybe it means that there are aliens who like happy faces, and aliens that hate them. It would seem that the aliens that hate them got the last word.

It's like an extra long TDS bit.

Liberals love to boast that they are not ‘religious,’

We do?

I hope to comport myself better when I know a camera's on.

I hope.

So I hacked my tights to pieces because I really needed to get my yoghurt from the fridge.

You know, the effect of boots and a skirt is really about what happens between the top of the boots and the hem of the skirt. How much space is there? Is it continually visible, or is it dependent on the swing of the skirt? Is it covered? Opaquely? Translucently? Fishnet? Just plain bare? Can you see knee, or is it all thigh?

Short of putting on fishnets or hiking my hemline higher, I feel I'm doing as much as possible to scream "Lookit me!" Must adjust veil of fuckoff.

Re: Are we really going to bomb Iran?

So options are

1) Bluff
2) Make regular bombing look good
3) crazy enough to bomb Iran

My prediction; he's going to bomb with something because of the rally-round the flag issue to help retain a Republican majority. Nukes or regular bombs will depend which will win the most votes; actual effects on the world or the U.S. will be considered only as they affect short term personal power for the Bush adminstration, Bush cronies, and a Republican majority. It is possible that turning the rest of the world against us could get enough Americans turning to a "strong leader in an emergency" to help keep the Republicans in office not only through the midterm but even past that. Cause, ya know if our leader kills a few million people, and the rest of the world doesn't like it, a lot of USAians will feel underappreciated, and angry at how ungrateful those un-Americans are.

You know the old saying about not attributing to malice what can be explained by stupidity? Right now, I'm really, really hoping that is wrong; because another old saw doesn't apply just to angels. Fools rush in where the wicked fear to tread.

1) Bluff 2) Make regular bombing look good 3) crazy enough to bomb Iran

At first, I read this as suggestions to ita concerning her tights dilemna. It works semi-ok.
