Have you signed the recall petition yet? Act now because time's running out.
First day at the new/old job; two days a week.

Another thing that's been bugging me. If G-Bu supports pre-emptive strikes to protect national security (Israel and the US are two that come to mind) How would he feel about Kim Jong Il exploding a nuclear device in Chicago to dissuade the US from its hostile overtures toward his nation? That's probably completely different.

You're right; if it hadn't been so early in the morning I'd have chosen someplace more military as a proper target. Possibly Moffet Field, or the Boeng plant in Seattle, or the Pentagon, or the terrorist training camp in Florida they call the College of the Americas. (My intelligence assures me they're very aggressive in their recruiting.)
However, do not assume that because I disagree with the 'Presumptive Strike' Doctrine that I think Kim Jong Il is at least as batshit crazy or downright evil as Saddam Hussein. What I am saying, instead, is that our President has said 'If you think somebody is going to attack you, you have the right and responsibility to attack them first'. Perhaps not in so many words, but in spirit and in substance. And I feel that this is not the best position to take on the national stage when so many people hate us.
And thank you for taking me to task in such a rational, intelligent, fully supported fashion.

Rather, do not assume that I do not think.
This six-day week thing is going to get to me.
