  • They are blogging the war hearings by the minute at the Democratic Underground

    Not that I don't appreciate your efforts, Mr. Grieve!

    When the thread gets up to around 100 posts, they start another:

  • Webb

    Webb was great today. He began kicking away at the new talking point "We don't want to rush to failure" which I heard about 100 times in the past hour.

    He was respectful and on target. I don't agree with Webb on a number of things, but when he speaks about the war there's nobody better.

    But seriously, do you think Britney's fat or not? That's all I can find online.

  • Please...

    ...can we dispense with this blathering and get to the inevitable?

    The talking heads will talk.

    Democrats will speak of outrage and incompetence.

    Right-wing nutbags will spew their usual lies.

    Activists will demand that the funding for the war be pulled or made conditional.

    Bush will stick out his monkey chin and posture incoherently.

    The Democrats will back down.

    And this ghastly political abattoir we've built will run on, shredding thousands of lives with no purpose beyond the ego gratification of a simpleton and his puppet masters.

    Gads. We truly are Rome in her last days. Somebody pull the fucking plug already.

  • Call the British Army please

    They managed to occupy Iraq for 37 years. That sounds about right to me. So unless you're willing to spend another 33 years there I suggest you plan to bolt.
