So, a week ago, we had Vice President Dick Cheney telling us that the insurgency in Iraq was in it's " final throes." In the same week (almost at the same time), we had Sec. of Defense Donald (Satan) Rumsfeld telling us that we could expect the insurgency to continue on for another "twelve years!" Now, throw in the 'Downing Street Memo,' and it all adds up to an administration that wanted to go to war with Iraq (any pretense will do) long before the American public was lied to in order to accomplish the task, and long before 9/11; and an administration that had no idea how to prosecute the war it so badly wanted (open borders, insufficient supplies for the troops); and an administration that had no clue as to how to win the peace after hostilities had ended. How did these guys get voted in to office? Oh yeah, it's because most Americans are stupid.
I know...I know, its been far too long since my last post. But I'm here now and I'll catch you up on everything. So, since getting laid-off, I have been thinking about going back to school. The thing is, I've been thinking about going back for 10 years, but the thought of it always filled me with terror because I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do. Well, I decided to go to Seattle Central and get a certificate in computer networking. My thinking is this: get certified in something that leads to working smart instead of hard. Then, that job can take me back to school for something I really want to do. So anyway, there is a program through Unemployment Insurance called the Commissioner Approved Training Plan that allows one to go to school while still recieving one's unemployment benefits, without having to do the weekly job searches. The program doesn't pay for school, it just allows one to go to school and not have to work. Sounds like a great program, huh?...
