Yes, he has the gall...

Remember a few months ago when President Bush announced that he would be sending an additional 21,500 troops to Iraq? Remember what a big stink the Democrats made about it and promised that they'd do something to stop it.

Well, President Bush is not only in the process of still sending out those 21,500 troops to Iraq with nothing more than a token resistance by Democrats, now he's announced that he's sending an additional 4,700 troops to Iraq to "support" the other troops!

I figure in a couple more months he'll announce that he'll be sending a few thousand more troops to "support" the "supporting" troops! I don't know if I'm more pissed with Bush for what he's doing, or the Democrats for what they're NOT doing.

Where would you like your tax dollars to be spent?

According to CNN today, Rep Peter King, R-New York, the ranking member of the Homeland Security Committee is finding fault with the bill passed January 9th enacting the 9/11 commission recommendations which will reportedly cost around $21 billion over five years.

He says that it is ridiculous to spend that kind of money, and that if the legislation hadn't been rushed through by Democrats during their "first 100 hours", it never would have passed. Yet on the same day, George Bush announced that he'll be proposing his budget for the war in Iraq which will cost American taxpayers $250 billion for the next year and a half!

Where would you rather see your tax dollars being spent? Iraq, or here in the United States, making our borders and ports safer? We've already spent $400 billion + in Iraq and now our President wants to spend another $250 billion. Yet this idiot Republican Peter King is having a cow at spending $21 billion dollars within the borders of our own country! Get a grip on reality Mr. King! We need to stop spending money we don't have in Iraq, and spend it on our own country. Let the Iraqi's take care of their own!

Poking fun at Boston

America: Land of the panicky children

Has everyone heard about the "bomb scare" in Boston today?

Battery LED signs advertising for "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" on Adult Swim were mistakenly thought to be bombs. These were small signs showing an alien figure giving people "the finger!" Are we that scared in this country, that everytime we see a device made with wires and batteries that we're going to automatically assume it's a bomb?

Thanks to President Bush and his administration trying to brow-beat Americans into being scared silly that terrorists are around every corner, we've become a laughing-stock. Would a terrorist really be stupid enough to make a bomb that looked so strange and out of the ordinary? Or would a terrorist design a bomb that would look like something that no one would look at twice? I think it would be the second option. People in this country need to get their heads out of their collective asses and start remembering what it's like to live without looking over their shoulder every five minutes thinking they're about to be killed.
