It's tyhe shortest day of the year. The Day the Sun Stood Still. The turning of the wheel. The real Christmas, the real New Year. The days will start getting longer now, and maybe other things will improve also. I can at least try to cultivate that feeling.
It's a new beginning. All things are made new. It's a new beginning, all things are made new . . . .
Unfortunately, some old business won't just go away because I'm thinking positive thoughts. I have an hour between a night shift at this guy's house, and a morning spent at an adult day center (don't worry, I'll be able to sleep in the afternoon), and I'm cutting into the time alotted for me to spoon with Kathe before she gets up by climbing the frosty steps to the lookout tower to post to my blog. Seems pretty silly, but I've really been pushed to my limit by the latest Iraq-related news:
At his latest press conference, Bush has finally admitted that his house of cards is collapsing and . . . he blames us.
Our faltering resolve.
He blames us.

Well, what did you expect? That he'd take responsibility?
You're so naive.
Of course, it would be our fault if at any point we'd elected him. Since we didn't, I'm immune from feelings of guilt. Which won't help when he declares America unworthy of democracy and officially repeals it, which I expect around 2008 (though he might lift the two-term limit and steal a third election if his infrastructure isn't completely in place - a distinct possibility given his prediliction for hiring people even less competent than himself). I need to work up my guerrilla skills so I can do something for the Resistance besides write subversive literature and provide meals. Hmm, probably time to install that secret room in the attic, too (to hide refugee gays fleeing for Mexico).
This is Peni, postponing the inevitability of filing
"Faltering resolve" is a technical term meaning that the populace is beginning to notice that the government is buggering up the war, and perhaps even that it shouldn't have started it. I remember that from Vietnam.
