Day 2 of 3

The fourth of July was a quiet day here. Did not go anywhere, did not do anything. Watched fireworks on TV from New York and San Francisco. Had brunch in the morning with a friend and then spent the afternoon trying to create a video CD with my Roxio software. It worked...sort of. I can't seem to connect the title and introduction clips to the slide show however. I don't know if I am misunderstanding what can and cannot be done or if I am actually doing something wrong. Something tells me I may waste a lot of blank CD's before I figure this thing out.

I see an article on Reuters this morning about President Bush defending his use of American military might to spread freedom and relieve suffering around the world. Good grief...that man is a complete blithering idiot and needs to be locked up or hospitalized before he "helps" anyone else. He did not get rid of Saddam Hussein, only sent him into hiding. He gave the people in Iraq enough warning about a possible invasion so that, if they actually did have WMD's, they they had plenty of time to move them. Does he really know who is in charge there? Will anyone ever know? He has just exchanged one set of problems for another set. THIS MAN DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING! How did we ever end up with such a stupid person in the White House anyway?

He is quoted as making the following statement on his weekly radio address: "Without America's active involvement in the world, the ambitions of tyrants would go unopposed and millions would live at the mercy of terrorists." It is sad to think that someone could be in such a powerful position who thinks that all we have to do is send in the troops to get rid of this or that person and everything will be alright. He certainly had no plan before invading Iraq and he has no plan now about what to do. You simply cannot impose a U.S. type government on a country that has little or no experience with such models. He apparently feels that might makes it right. Well, bullshit. The thing I fear most now is that he might be elected to a second term. That would be the scariest thing I could think of at this time. He is dangerous and needs to be replaced by someone who can work together with other countries in solving world problems.

His radio address was even more pathetic in that he said "We value the freedom of every nation because we are committed to the God-given worth of every life, we work for human dignity in every land". How? By blowing up those you disagree with? Bullshit!

Enough of politics for now. Enough of this war mongering by Bush and his cronies. Let us eat cake and be merry or gay or whatever.

Cheers...
