Midnight in the Garden of Good & Plenty

I'll try to keep this brief.

Fuck.

That's all.

That really is all.  What other response can the human brain produce when it learns that President Bush is "unsatisfied" with progress in Iraq?  Really?  If only we had some sort of strong leadership in this country that could turn things around…but where is Bush going to find that?  After the last couple of years of declaring that the insurgency, that before the war he'd claimed didn't exist, was in its final throes, and years after we'd ended all major combat operations in Iraq, and we barely control Baghdad, and the President is little disappointed…Maybe if he'd put people in charge of reconstruction who actually had training, who at least had heard of the jobs they were going to do, instead of all his asshole friends, things might have gone a little more smoothly.

That, and when the fuck did banning online poker become necessary to the security of our ports?
