My somewhat overoptimistic July 4 post from two years ago: I enjoyed seeing the fireworks over the East River last night and...whoops, wrong picture, this is us blowing up Baghdad. But seriously, talk about a disconnect between American ritual festivities and the chaos in Iraq right now. We're fast approaching the point where the number of our soldiers killed after George Bush's victory declaration tops the number that preceded it. After a few exciting days of monkey-screeching and hard-on flashing, Bush, Rumsfeld & Co. have moved on to other things (campaigning, plotting global domination, plundering public funds) and left others to clean up the mess. American troops are getting shot up, the Treasury's overdrawn, people are losing jobs, and the 9/11 conspirators are still at large. Fortunately we can all go the polls next year and get rid of these clowns, right? Right? Wrong.
Don't blame me, I voted for Clark.
Yeah, well, Kerry would have had this thing won, by "bringing in the allies."
