"One signature away from ending this war"
It's no secret, I'm an Obama fan, but... I've still gotta say, that's one of the best lines I've heard yet to describe the situation we face.
IMHO, we already won the war. We won it when we toppled Saddam Hussein. I don't think we should've ever been there in the first place, but that was the point of the war, and it is now done.
The current war -- the civil war -- is something we never agreed to, cannot win without overwhelming force, and frankly... is not our business.
We broke it, that's true. But it's the Iraqis who are now breaking it into tinier and tinier pieces, ones that will that will be harder and harder to ever glue together again.
It's time to get the hell out. If they want to keep breaking it, that's their business. But our fighting men and women shouldn't be there, getting broken themselves in the crossfire.

Sex and pizza
What is the old joke again? Something like, "sex is like pizza, even when it's not great it's still pretty good."
And on that note... great new post over at Kos from Georgia10 (long one of my favorites over there) about Randall Tobias, the Bush administration official who resigned over his involvement in that DC Madam scandal.
Apparently, Mr. Tobias has said ordering his call girls -- sorry, "massage therapists" was just like "ordering pizza." Which is true, in the sense that both involved using a telephone. Which I guess means ordering call girls is just like ordering a thermonuclear strike (ya know, red telephone involved and all).
Check out Georgia10's post here...

Sexiest Politician?
Who do you think is the sexiest politician? Define "sexiest" however you'd like (i.e., most of us will be thinking simply "hottest" but let a thousand flowers bloom).
For politician, feel free to include elected officials and non-electeds as well who are simply prominent political types.
Oh, and yeah, American and non-American alike.
But enuffa my yackin... discuss.

Don't be alarmed by the ads
Well, some of you good folks may have noticed that we've added Google ads along the left sidebar -- text and skyscraper. We're always up for creative ways to bring in some new revenue, of course, and this one seemed easy enough. Our goal isn't to get rich, of course, but even a little $$ helps us keep going, helps us support other causes, etc.
Now, getting to the point, Google ads actually work by scanning for keywords on the page, and putting appropriate ads up. Amusingly enough, one of the ones that has started popping up is for Bill O'Reilley's new book (probably because we mention political terms).
Over time, as Google's magical servers realize that people aren't clicking on that one, other more relevant ones will appear. But in the meantime, bear with us -- we haven't jumped on the O'Reilley bandwagon. :)
Oh, and hey, if you DO see something interesting on the left, then please CLICK ON IT. This is how the ads become successful, ad how we ensure that the right ones (or, ahem, "correct" ones) show up.
thanks

Meet the Fockers
Why is it so hard to meet your signif other's family? I've met them before and I'm still nervous about this dinner with his mom, bro and bro's girl. I think it's because they hate me. I'm serious. I broke his hear 5 years ago and they wonder why he isn't learning from history (and not repeating it!)
Wish me luck. It's tomorrow night at some italian place in DC. He told me his bro and mom don't like me because I broke his heart back in the day. of course, things have changed. I'm older, things are different, we're totally madly in love, but I have a history that I have to shake. urgh. meeting the parents is hard enough, but to do it with the cards stacked against me suck. I just want to call the whole thing off!
