Politics

Well, the sun is out for the first time in a week, so I don't feel like I am in a cave!

My friend Igor, complained about my lack of postings so here you go!

Watched CNN this morning as I usually do to catch up with what happened overnight in the world and heard a lot about the Iraq bipartisan committee report. Wonder how it is all going to "fall out". I am hard pressed to believe that J.W will do an about face. He is too arrogant and bold for that. Besides, he still has ole Dickie baby at his right ear. The scary part was the WH announcement today that they will agree to talk with Iran IF Iran ceases nuclear pursuits. Now isn't that more of the same rhetoric? sounds so to me.

On another US shakeup, what about Bolten? Condo had a bright smile on her face when he announced his resignation... fixed for the camera or real relief... time will tell I suppose. JWs 'previous track record concerning recommendations doesn't give me much hope for anyone any better (more diplomacy and less big stick).

Yesterday we had a "bomb threat" at the Vochshochshule where I take German. It was only a practice thank goodness. We laughed as we stood outside, and postulated that maybe some right wing European thought he/she could wipe out a bunch of Auslanders (immigrants) at one sweep!! Best to keep a good humor these days.

My discussion group the American Forum, meets again tomorrow night and we talk about 2 books:Why the Christian Right is Wrong, by Robin Meyers, and The End of Faith, by Sam Harris. Igor tells me I should be careful, but hey, this is fun, being on the edge for a change. I have mostly considered myself a fence sitter unless really pushed. In this case, I must admit I look for spy cameras when I go each month.
