The list of things to do gets longer, instead of shorter.
"Kids in Congo were being sent down mines to die so that kids in Europe and America could kill imaginary aliens in their living rooms," said Ex-British Parliament Member Oona King.
Lovely.
You may have read, as I did recently, possibly from the ignomous Drudge headlines, how Obama "scrapped" a visit to the troops, and elsewhere I saw a headline decrying he'd "abandoned" and "ignored" them. To my mind, the Breitbart article linked from Drudge, to their credit, lays it out pretty clearly.
It's a no win situation for him. He doesn't go, he's ignoring the wounded troops. He goes, he's exploiting them. Ironically, with the publicity this trip has generated, it would likely actually look good for him to have gone, but I sense that his motivation for not doing it was based in his respect for their plight and privacy. Some things aren't meant to be "trotted out" during an election. Then again, perhaps the planned visit was fabricated from the start, to create the illusion that McCain (whose camp did in fact react harshly) is being unfair, whilst Obama remains calmly above the fray. Prolly not, though.
Drudge is full of gems tonight, such as the astronaut who claims aliens exist.
It's so funny when the guys says "WHOOOAAA! Hang on a minute....this is BIG!"
Also, google has KNOL now, not knol.com or knol.org but www.knol.google.com which doesn't actually work, so you have to do google.com/knol
Blech. But I'm a give it a try at some point, cause who knows, right?......
