Livin' like a refugee

Day 3 without a computer and I am currently hunkered down in the computer lab at UWM trying to stave off withdrawal with some internet time. Headed for the East coast soon where I will be mooching off the 'rents and their dial-up connection for the holiday, until then I have Tom Petty's "Refugee" playing on a non-stop loop in the 'ol cranium.

By the way has it ever been more clear just how bankrupt the entire Republican party is? They have nothing less. The entire Iraq war has been a disaster and we are now at a point where a growing majority of Americans think it was a bad idea to get involved in the first place. The Dear Leader's numbers are in the low 30's, so the strategy is clear...name calling. Instead of coming up with a plan, any plan, the Republicans decided that they would just call most Americans "cowards" and "unpatriotic" something that is sure to resonate with voters.
