Confusion or Is it just Me?

I don't know. Sometimes I wish I could move to a deserted island. Perhaps it's the wine, but I don't think so, since sobriety doesn't change my feelings.

Why do people say things that just don't make sense, then proceed to give no explanation for the remark and then expect us all ot fall in line? Are we, as a whole, that fucking stupid?

Take, for instance, the following examples:

• Speaking about today's shuttle launch, Griffin (or Goofball, as I call him) called the launch majestic. Why is it majestic? In fact, why is it any different than any other shuttle launch (with two exceptions)? Is it because it finally took off after an almost two week delay? In my book, that doesn't change anything.


• While discussing the war on terror and the president's upcoming 5-year September 11 anniversary speech, Dan Bartlett says that the enemy believes that Iraq is part of the war on terror. Hmmm...that's interesting. How do they know -- are they talking to the enemy? I thought we had a policy of not talking to the enemy, just blowing them up (as will happen with Iran ASAP).


• Dcik Cheney claims that it's no accident that we haven't had a domestic terrorist attack in four years. OK... well, by my count, we went almost 60 FUCKING YEARS without a domestic terror attack. And while admittedly I have less visibility into what happens in the upper eschelons of American government that mr. Cheney, I was not aware of any special precautions being taken. And while we're kind of on the subject, does anyone feel any safer? I agree that the probability of another similar attack (i.e. one using airplanes) is probably lower, does that mean that other types of attacks are less likely? Are we more prepared for or defensive against other types of attacks? Given what we have all seen so far in terms of the 'warnings' we've been handed in the past five years, I tend to think not.

So really...is it just me? Do they believe that we'll just believe this shit? FUCK NO! Question authority. Be skeptical. Perform your Constitutional Duty. Be an asshole!

BTW, Beerfest was hilarious. Highly recommended. Oh yeah, and am I the only one who likes the warm feeling in the tummy that alcohol gives? Yea, I didn't think so.

Peace all.

I wish it was winter so that we could make big ice blocks out of it and skate on it and then when spring came it would melt and we could drink it!
