  I'm just sad ...

  Okay, may be I'm bummed out over the number of registered Democrats in District 50 who didn't turn out to vote yesterday ... Brian Bilbray, damn carpetbagger from District 49, Mr. "I've got three permanent residences", is now now my damn congressman? sigh ...

  Anyway, it's funny to think that I wouldn't mind seeing Bush Sr. back in office. At least he showed restraint and intelligence when he didn't go after Saddam Hussein during the first Gulf War and, when push came to shove, he raised taxes because they were needed. But then, he's nerdy and was probably beat up in school, so, what the hell does he know.

  As for W., he goes from his gut, not his head. No wonder we can't convince this country's students to study science or technology. Or, for that matter, to study history. If a man like George W. Bush can become president, why bother.

  But, what really gets me is all conservatives who have been screaming about supporting the military. Sending them into an unwinnable war is "supporting the military?" Sending in too few troops is "supporting the military?" Making them go into Iraq to face the insurgency for multiple tours is "supporting the military?" I won't even touch what's going on with our veterans benefits ...

  So much for getting this stuff off my chest. I do not feel better.
