Waitin' On The Shower

We live in an apartment, which means that we have to deal with a tiny hot water tank, so there's always some lull between when Liz showers and when I shower. I thought this morning I'd use that time wisely.

I've been keeping an eye on the Democratic primaries, and so far it's been an interesting ride to say the least. I had Dean pegged to win, but the media has been savaging him incessantly for the last month, and John Kerry won both Iowa and New Hampshire. Frankly, I don't give a shit which Democrat wins as long as it isn't Lieberman (he's the one who led the push to ban violent video games in the early 1990s - not presidential material) and as long as that Democrat can oust Bush.

It's still too early to call anything, though, including which Democrat can beat Bush, because they are all going to return to the center instead of sticking to the left like they should. The recent polls on CNN say that only 20% of Americans think Weapons of Mass Destruction will be found, and that only 40% of Americans think the war in Iraq was "good" even though there are no Weapons. The American people were lied to and deceived, to the detriment of our foreign policy for years and even decades, and 40% of Americans still think that's a good thing.

At least it's only 40%.
