How Much More

I just don't think I can stand much more of this Reagan coverage on the news. You'd think from watching the news that this man did not preside over the biggest jump in the national debt in history. From watching the coverage, one might forget that Reagan went out of his way to roll back race relations in this country. And finally, let's not forget about how he cut federal funding to mental institutions, turning thousands of mentally ill people out into the streets. This man does not warrant the week-long stroke-fest he has received.

The one and only good thing I see coming out of all this coverage, is the face time Nancy is getting towards pressuring the Bush administration to lighten up on its position regarding stem cell research.

How Boring

OK, so I decided that I wasn't going to write anything political, that I was just gonna write about personal stuff. And I haven't written a thing in two weeks. How boring is my life? But I've got some stuff coming.....

Friends don't let friends vote for Bush

I have a friend who, I’m very nearly certain, voted for Bush. He told me as recently as a week prior to the election that he was considering voting for Bush because of the terrorism issue. I’m thinking very seriously about cutting him off as a friend. You see, the problem isn’t necessarily that he voted for Bush, it’s that I no longer respect him for coming to that decision. Having succumbed to America’s jingoistic view of Muslims I now think that perhaps my friend doesn’t have the intellectual agility I originally credited to him. Is there any one else out there who feels betrayed by a friend who voted for Bush? I’m interested in reader’s opinions on the matter so please post a comment.
