Spiraling...

I'm by no means recovered, so I'll keep this fairly short.

Seems like things are spiraling out of control, and despite the rumors and rhetoric, it looks like we're already in Iran. This is a very depressing thought, I'll tell you that...

The only bright spot is that Smirk's administration now has exactly 1000 days left (1000 days too long, but it's still a countdown...) -- hopefully the measures wending through the Illinois and now the California legislature (thank god I live in a state with halfway sensible pols!), thanks to Assemblyman Paul Koretz (*my* representative! *grin*), will push the issue of impeachment front and center, where it belongs, and short-circuit this disastrous administration.

Speaking of 1000 days, here's a good editorial piece from Arthur Schlesinger, one of the elders in my former profession. I hope there's an increased groundswell against any further action in Iran (some rather prominent scientists already have gotten the ball rolling-- thanks to Surdus for drawing my attention to this letter!). Any aggressiveness or military action will be disastrous for the world, and will cast the U.S. as a pariah. You think gas prices over $3 is a pain in the ass? Wait til Smirk decides "nukuler" weapons is a great option to act on, and see the price of oil skyrocket. You know, the only two nations boasting that a pre-emptive nuclear strike is A-OK are North Korea and the U.S.

Wanna re-define that Axis of Evil again, Smirk?
