If it is true that Jerry Falwell’s “christians” fear Hillary Clinton more than the Prince of Darkness then I think there is something wrong with these people.  Something tragically wrong!

If there is a shining example of over-reaction by a flight crew it’s this!  So an airline now gets to dictate what is or isn’t good behavior among consenting adults?  Were these men putting the plane in danger by kissing each other?  Was their affection the trigger to a bomb?  What bullshit!  So, by American Airlines defintion if I see someone reading a Bible and find it offensive I can get the plane diverted?  If I was this man I would of told the asshole of a captain to divert the fucking plane if he wanted to and be prepared to look like a total fool when I spill it to the news.  This is just asinine and shameful behavior on the part of American Airlines and its employees.

So I guess all those treasonous liberals and moderate Republicans who spoked out against the invasion of Iraq, who said it would only make matters worse, are turning out to be correct.  You know, I will admit that I’ve gone back and forth on the whole Iraq debacle.  Part of me wishes America could be that shining beacon of freedom and that we could bring those freedoms to countries oppressed by SOBs like Saddam Hussein; the other part of me, the part that’s more vocal, thinks the invasion of Iraq was a huge mistake and has been nothing but a disaster since we set foot in Baghdad.  President Bush himself has admitted that Hussein had no ties to al Qaeda; that he had nothing to do with September 11 even though he used those very excuses to justify the invasion.  We’ve lost more men and women in this invasion than died on September 11; tens of thousands on both sides are horribly injured.  Our armed forces are stretched to the max and we’re being forced to accept people who are not suited to carry a gun and protect the lives of innocents.  We are not safer; no matter how many lame-ass commercials you see on television, we are not safer.  We would have been better off cocnentrating on Afghanistan, which is also becomming a disaster, and trying to capture bin Laden. Would that stop terrorism or al Qaeda? No, of course not; but we owe it to the men and women who died on September 11, 2001, to get the son of a bitch who caused it.  Iraq was a stupid decision and our country is paying the price in blood.

I’m not a huge fan of Noam Chomsky; he’s a little out there for me, but if I was him I don’t think I would be all that thrilled to have my book touted by the liked of Hugo Chavez.  Well, looks like Chomsky isn’t me because he seem quite taken with the idea.
