dreamy daze
This part of summer is prime: cool nights for sleeping, overcast mornings for waking up, and perfect days for doing anything. All seems peaceful on the block lately, especially since the blasted Blue Angels ahve finished with their practices and "shows." I have never seen the point of this expensive and polluting display, and the photos in the paper of people gaping up in slack-jawed wonder at them disgust me. For the amount of taxpayer money wasted on these jet jockeys showing off all over the country, I'll bet a fair amount of contribution towards education or just about anything productive could be made. Which brings up the thought that anyone who voted for the Shrub and/or supported the Iraq occupation needs to pony up to pay for it. I read somewhere that the fifty some million idiots who voted for this administration in 2004 could put a dent in the waste of the war by paying around $17,000 each.

Sounds like a fair assessment....particularly given the usual rule of "you break it, you buy it," that the GOP purveyors of our capitalistic brand of freedom would hold dear.
I remember reading somewhere the general philosophy of this bunch of thieves. It was: They like to socialize risk and privatize profit. They wouldn't pay for this war even if they were personally profiting from it. That's not their MO.
Say, that is a great idea! "Put your money where your mouth is" in action!
In fact, I just read where a better estimate is about $30,000 per ALL of our heads, to defray a nine trillion dollar debt...
Pure imaginary jerking off. Robin, you're right, it would not occur to one of these fuckers responsible to ever repay anything.
