Teabaggers unite!

It was heartening to see republicans of all stripes[well, white anyway] endorsing teabagging as a way of protesting the Presidents policies. Who would have thought the staid republican party would engage in public acts of such, uhm, intimacy! This might be an entirely new direction for the GOP[even their acronym sounds like teabagging]...Th Mets inaugurated their new stadium with a loss, as is only apropos. Nice that the city ponied up money for billionaires to have a new place for their play things and play dates. It's not like there is a financial crunch or libraries are not getting their money...The Red wings may get out of the first round, but osgood is going to go belly up soon, and the most beautiful team in sports will probably lose in the second round.Watching the great Nick Lidstom tie Nash in knots was almost poetic,however,they will be fortunate to get by Columbus. BTW,there is nothing in sports, NOTHING, that compares to overtime in the stanley cup playoffs.Nothing!... reading the WWI poets lately.{sassoon, Gurney,OWEN}Actually, I read them often. Our youngest sons middle name in in honor of Wilfred Owen, the greatest of the WWI poets. What strikes me most is the lack of prescience, how after millions of men were slaughtered,it happened again, no one took notice at the underlying causes. Such folly! The lessons of Vietnam were obviously ignored by the Bushies,whose "brain trust" decided it would wipe the "stain" of vietnam clean by mollifying the Iraqis.Sigh. No one read the history of Iraq.So now, what? it is not on the front pages,the "surge"[which is absolute horseshit} which supposedly worked so well has done, exactly what? There was no Al qeda presence in Iraq, until the idiot Dauphin decided to invade without provocation.Now he brags,literally brags, about cleaning out the al-qeda presence in Iraq. That is like saying I called the fire depatment after I set the house on fire...Listening to Louis Armstrong, which can almost restore your faith.Reading Ivor Gurney, Yeats and a biography of Albert schweitzer.
