The next time anyone tries to say the people we fight in Iraq are freedom fighters, the next time anyone says there's no difference between us and them, the next time someone tries to equate a suicide bombing with an airstrike, the next time anyone even attempts to somehow compare an American service member and an insurgent, show them this: http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/05/26/iraq.main/index.html If evidence such as this can't convince a member of the opposition that the starkest of differences exist between us and them, that person is truly blind.

McCain is running for George Bush's 3rd term.....interesting.

Sadly, this is the nature with all addictions, and lets face it, the USA needs oil to function more than Dean Martin needed a stiff drink before performing. However, there is a silver lining in all of this, after all, the Chinese use the same symbol for crisis as they do opportunity, and we have an awesome opportunity in front of us right now. The great thing about this country is we've always been able to adapt, its in our very fabric, and as gas prices go up, while it sucks for the moment, we have no choice but to become smarter, better consumers, use that badass mechanism we call market forces and eventually g...

Don't ever give up. Ever. Even if there's only a sliver of a shot of a chance, don't ever, ever, ever give up. Don't even think about it. Any huge pessimists who don't believe me? Watch this. (After the krippies I'm allowed a break from politics for a few days)
