President Bush has been in the news more than usual the last few days and there are so many things he needs to address that it is hard to keep track of what is being said about what. Here is what I have been able to decipher:
We are safer, but not safe yet, but we will be safer when we move the terror detainees from the secret prisons that do exist, but used to exist or not exist, to Gitmo where they won't be tortured because of the American laws preventing torture that the President signed into law while attaching a codicil that said he could ignore them. Did I get that right? The only thing I'm sure of is that we are fighting something called the War on Terror which is or is not the War in Iraq because the War on Terror has something to do with 9/11 and Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 but they did back when we said they did . As near as I have been able to figure, the War on Terror will be won when democracy prevails in the Middle East as long as they don't elect people we think are terrorists, fascists, communists, or socialists, any of which is a real possibility.
Since I really don’t have the time or patience to sort it all out and I’m having a hard time believing anything the leaders of our country say these days (Dems, Repubs, Indies, all of them), I plan to vote for Katherine Harris. I’m going to write her in for every open office in Maryland because: A.) Nobody likes her and her lack of support = lack of allegiance to any of the bad ideas currently floating about. B.) I love her fashion sense, and C.) at least I know she won't legislate sin.
