Nothing matters, and what if it did?

At the time I am typing this, there does not seem to be a lot in the way of new breaking news. Good thing. I am operating on overload here, and I am sure that many of you, indeed many in the country and the world are in the same boat.

There is some discussion of sanctions on North Korea, but now that it is nut-cuttin' time, China and Russia are not quite as pissed off as they were on Monday. george Bush is backing Dennis Hastert, saying that the country is better off with him than without him, (pretty much tantamount to saying that he is at least the lesser of two evils...).

I need a few days to think.

I don't know what I think about North Korea right now. On the one hand, I say f*ck em, they have money to spend on playing with the big boys, let em play, and let em feed their people and warm their homes by themselves. Give the glorious socialist revolution something to crow about...

On the other hand, it is somewhat important that we be able to follow our own course, and not be led, (or compelled, by reckless action on the part of that runt, Kim Jong Il---a name that surely translates to "annoying pimple on the penis"), into a situation that will require that we one-up him and the country he rules. I don't believe that he is suicidal, but I do think he is relying on the cold feet displayed by his erstwhile allies, China and Russia, to keep him from serious harm. We will see.

I don't know what to think about the scandal in DC right now. Not a lot of news about it today, it's like it has burned through its value to the jackass party and is simply a lingering embarrassment to the pachyderms. Look for a few minor embellishments to the story over the next few days.

Despite what we all have heard, the election is still very much in play. The GOP could come away with a narrow victory, in either or both houses of the Congress. This is a dangerous time for the Dem's, who have been in the dumps for the past twelve years. Expectations have been raised, a defeat now will sink their fortunes even further, and with theirs, ours. No matter who you favor, the events of the past few years show us that having an extremely strong party in power for an extended time tends to turn things to sh*t.

Stay focused.
