Random thoughts, (the white noise in my head).

Ted Kennedy must be trying to be the Michael Moore of the Senate. I do not like the man, his character seems a bit shallow and tepid, however, that does not mean that he is wrong. He appeared on TV this weekend, using the "v" word as an analogy to the war in Iraq. He is not the first to have that thought, (and I tend to agree with this line of reasoning), but coming from him, the notion is counter-productive. Ted needs to do some of the solid behind-the-scenes work that he can do and shut the f__k up. Every time he opens his mouth, right or wrong, the court of public opinion distances itself from him a little bit more. Score another point for the administration.

There is a serious war scare in the making today. A noted columnist has reported that the US has troops on the ground in Iran and other potentially hostile places scouting targets in the event relations with these powers deteriorate. The administration denies it, in a non-categorical way. Who'da thunk it?
