Election thoughts

OK, if this worked, I'll have commenting available now.

Yay.

George W. Bush has made me a Democrat. Which is surprising. I'm voting for Kerry this coming election to get him out of office... this, from someone who thought the Reagan years were great, Carter was a dip, and Clinton was an embarrasment because he couldn't keep it in his pants.

Yes, the major reason is to get Bush out of office. How long will it be before we have the world's respect (instead of fear) again?

When we're attacked next (face it, it'll happen - but if it happens close to election time, there'll be so many conspiracy theorists saying Bush wanted it to happen to try to stay in office.....) Where was I... yeah. When we're attacked next, we won't have the global sympathy we had after 9/11. I'd put money down what you'll hear is "Well, it's too bad all the civilians died, but they brought it on themselves with Iraq." No, this is not condoning such actions... but my thought on what we'll see, thanks to the nutjob in office.

Preemption is not a good policy.

Lying to attack someone who attacked your father is not good policy.

Destabilizing regions on pretense is not good policy.

Keeping Bush and his cronies in office... is not good policy.
I really have to write more often. I hate to neglect this, yet what do I say?

No, I don't have much of a life. Searching for work again, trying to deal with $2.25/gallon gas prices (which precludes driving into Portland - $5, one way, in gas, three round trips a week...) rather precludes this.

Of course, there's stuff I do on the side - I'm working on a website for a friend, working on my wife's website, that sort of thing. Having worked on this friend's website, I *don't* think this is what I want to do for a living. I've even neglected my own sites...

In any case. I'm here, haven't forgotten this (for the, what, two people a month who read it.) More as thoughts come.

Well, I'm off.

No, that's not news.

Nice weekend coming up with the wife - with one small stop to do some computer work and get money.

Things will be good.
