Stripped from the Angry Thoughts Headlines:
AS WE WATCH THE BREAKDOWN of Rumsfeld's "effect-based" military strategy, we wonder how that could happen, because it worked so well in war games.

Cynical me, I just thought the military downplayed the capabilities of Iraq in order to draw the public into early support for an "easy" campaign. So much easier to start a war if you think you'll win quickly. I had no idea I was overestimating their ability to predict, or that our brightest leaders were just simply dumbfounded that the Iraqis would do anything but come out waving the white flag, while exhibiting submissive urination.

Unless.... they knew we'd be in conflict and staged the $250M war-game charade last year to make it look like they didn't know there'd be resili-- Nope. Nevermind. I can just put that over thinking part of my brain away, now. I won't be needing it.

Hey. You. With one ear on the cnn newsfeed. Watching the war like a good little american. You've forgotten all about the economic downturn already, haven't you? No? Just checking to see if it worked yet.

Since when have peace demonstrators become "Anti-War Protestors?" Every news channel now refers to them with the same wording. Are they protesting the anti-war movement? Would the opposite side be called "War Protestors?" I thought journalists were supposed to have taken english classes at some point in their training. I'd like my force-fed right-wing propaganda to make sense, please.

No, wait. We'll be calling him "Porter." I actually call him "Kitty" a fair amount of the time, just because that's all we've had around for so long. Sorry Josh.
