Time for a political rant

So what's this I hear that Bush is requesting $80 BILLION MORE for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Now we are all aware of our already HUGE deficit, but come on, isn't he going overboard here with this war? Oh wait, I forget, the war ended months ago! Come'on Bush, you can pull the wool over half of America, but not me. Let's just bring our troops home, we have lost enough lives. Let's put the $80B to something more productive and send it to Sri Lanka or to the starving people in Ethiopia or finding to a cure for cancer, now those are causes I can support. I am going to be frank here and I am apologizing to all my Bush loving fans reading, but I just have to say this. If you are going to get irriated with what I have to say then read no further. Okay THIRD AND FINAL warning.........I dont want any irrate emails or comments left, so this is the final warning to not read on if you are in support of the war in Iraq. I am all up for intelligent and senisible talks about politics, just as long as it is not irrate. OK, for those of you left, Let's be honest, after 9/11 Bush knew we would seek vengance, we were eager for it. So many lives were lost and on OUR turf. What a great time to take advantage of our pain and blame Saddam. Now I am in no way conveying that Saddam was a saint, we all know he was a real bastard. I can't say I breathe any easier knowing that he is probably getting a more fair trial than some of our minor offense crimanals here (and we wont even get into the fact that criminals with minor offenses are at times spending more time in prison than child molestors and murders, in a system that already has problems with overcrowding). I can't say I feel any safer than I did prior to his arrest. Back to what I was saying. Now first we went to Iraq to find weapons of mass destruction, oopsy, we couldn't find any! Oh wait, we can still be the hero, let's free the people! Ok, so Saddam is gone (or at least temporarily) and the people are "free" (to the best extent that they will ever be) and when the elections are over then what? What are we waiting for? Another American hostage begs for his life today and all we do is stand by and wait for him to be shot or beheaded. How sad is that? How about saving our own people and getting the hell out of there!!!

As for other things, Ava's new word is "wow". As I walked around a craft store today she wow'd everything. She also growls at anything that looks remotely live. She growls at bugs, teddy bears, birds, stuffed animals, ceramic frogs, its cute really, strange, but cute.
