Oh Yeah, America's In Another War Somewhere (Libya?)
Sorry we forgot to post about America getting into a war with Muammar Gaddafi again. What with the radiation cloud headed across the Pacific from some melting nuclear hellscape and the air strikes on Gaddafi's Libya, we can probably be forgiven for thinking, "Eh, it's just those incredible mushrooms and also that MDMA and probably some peyote from 1986 kicking in, again." Because thelasttime our "Reaganesque president" ordered U.S. military action against Libya, it was April 14, 1986. And the last time a distant nuke plant started spewing deadly radioactivity all over the place, it was April 26, 1986. WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME NEW DISASTERS, LIKE SPACE ALIEN ATTACKS. Jesus christ, do we have to relive the stupid '80sforever? Look at this video, just look at it.
Well, Obama's lost Andrew Sullivan with this, and John Marshall thinks it's a big mistake. Meanwhile, John Boehner says the President must answer to Congress about it (because he's a Democrat Socialist Kenyan; if he were a Republican, it'd be Yee-Haw!), and apparently the left has gone apeshit and a primary challenge is inevitable.
*sigh* I just don't know anymore. I feel deep down, and through the evidence of my eyes, that Obama is the best we've got (which, depending on one's view, is a sad state of affairs) and am thoroughly demoralized by the fact that we (the non-insane) just can't seem to get a victory. And then I feel guilty for falling into the tribal party-politics that are ruining this nation like some braindead Tea Party Hoveround. *sigh* Will somebody hold me and tell me it'll all be all right? I think some of Ken's apocalyptic attitude has insinuated itself into my psyche tonight.
I have the same problem with Firefox 3.6.15.
