I know that my reader has missed my posting since I haven't done anything for a couple of weeks. A combination of computer problems, laziness and inertia have contributed to this. However, I believe the most significant factor has been "outrage overload". That's the state of being so pissed off about so many things that you can't bring yourself to write about any because that would seem like ignoring the other, equally important topics. The Bush administration and the Repugs at large continue apace with their illegal, immoral and unethical practices. Torture, the "surge", usurpation of the powers of the others branches of government, illegal wiretapping and snooping, complicity with treasonous war profiteering, etc., etc., ad nauseum are all subjects that I would like to address in an intelligent and cogent manner. However, since that probably exceeds my grasp, I will rail out against such practices in a shrill, emotional voice. I plan to do that soon. Unfortunately, we have much too much time left in this administration to talk about its crimes.
In the meantime, if the Democrats and the few ethical Republicans that are starting to exhibit some backbone don't do everything they can to rein in this abomination, I will be forced to flagellate them verbally also. That should scare them straight.
Come on, guys, do something!
