A Funny Thing...

A funny thing happened shortly after my last entry. I was hired by WebMD. Since that event, I have had little time... okay, let's be truthful, little motivation to update this blog.

But, as usual, politics weighs upon me as much as the two Old Fashions that I just drank and I feel compelled to talk about my disillusionment with the whole thing.

We were promised that Iraq would be a cakewalk, the war would pay for itself, that gas would be almost free because of our adventure and Iraq would quickly blossom into a liberal democracy. All this was supposed to happen before Bush's unelected term ended. Here we are at the end of Bush's elected term and we are still in Iraq, three-trillion plus in debt, gas will be $4.00 per gallon by Labor Day and Sadr controls Iraq. (Despite the fact that Iraq has a Parliament, Sadr controls the country. Expect Sadr to march into Iraq's parliament the day after we leave, liquidate the lawmakers and give himself a title equivalent to president while becoming the latest tyrant whose ascension the US facilitated. [I hope we all remember the Shah or Fulgencio Batista.])

I almost want to vote for McCain just to force his party to clean up the mess.
