Back to reality

I've tried to stay away. I've fought the urge to rant - again, again, and then again. But it's just too much. If anyone does anything dumber than what the Israeli government just did, I'm going to explode.

Unless you've been hanging out in a parallel universe or something, you must know that I'm referrring to the strikes on Lebanon the last couple days. I think we can all agree that Israel is probably caught in the worst Catch-22 ever conceived of, and so much like a doctor caring for a terminally ill patient, their gameplan should be to simply manage the pain.

MASSIVE BOMBING OF ONE'S ISLAMIC NEIGHBOR DOES NOT ACCOMPLISH THIS!!
Especially, when you're surrounded by several Islamic nations. President Bush says Israel has a right to - wait a minute, he's now telling them to cool down - wait, what's that, now he's advocating occupying Syria because someone wrote graffiti on the town wall.

I have only one other ridiculous comment to ridicule and then I'm going to go and take a sanity test because everything would be so much easier if I can prove that I'm insane.

Alan Greenspan - very old, very experienced - soon to be very senile or the absolute grand master of propaganda it seems after his latest assessment that fuel prices have not had a profound effect on the economy thus far. Now I realize that government reports run at least 6 months behind reality (and that's just based on the publishing date, mind you), but how much of an ass do you need to be to actually believe such a statement let alone put it out there?!!

Apparently, the government really does believe in the No Child Left Behind Act - they really believe we're all that stupid!
