"Lies, and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them"

Some sort of popular revolt can only be a short time away as the Bush administration is shown, almost daily, to be a group of filthy liars. The 9/11 Commission shows positively that Bush lied to the country about links between Saddam Hussein's Iraq and Al Queda, among other things, in order to justify an attack on Iraq.

Now, I'm no pacifist. I truly believe that sometimes, you have to kick some ass. As a sovereign nation we can not just let some terrorist assholes come over here and push us around, a la 9/11. But let's make damn sure we're bombing the right people. Invading Afghanistan was a good idea and took balls. I'll give Georgie that much. There actually were terrorist training camps there. But people were questioning Bush's allegations about the "Iraqi-Al Queda collaberation from the beginning because it smacked of "Saddam tried to kill my daddy," revenge.

Bob Newhart - Comic Genius Passes Away

 A true comic genius has passed away today. One of the first comedy albums I remember listening to as a child is "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart." His most famous shtick was the telephone conversation where the audience hears only his end of the call. The most famous and best of this is the " Introducing Tobacco to Civilization " skit.

Math Anxiety

I don't normally blog my school experiences, but I just found out today that I have to take more math. I thought I was done with math, but now I find out I have two more classes to take. I am so upset I can't hardly breath. I am so math phobic it's not funny. No, really, it's not funny. I have anxiety attacks in math class. I start to sweat and sometimes I literally start to shake. Years ago when working on my philosophy degree, I had to take logic and did relatively well. And I get so tired of having people tell me that since I did well in logic, I should do well in math. Well, it doesn't work that way, at least not for me. Otherwise (meaning except for the math) things go well. I am actually ahead in my Cisco class, primarily because I didn't take any math this quarter, and my Net Security class is a breeze. Fucking math! Whose ideas is/was it that one has to be a math whiz in order to work with computers?!
