Welcome Back, Iraqi Predictions, I Irritate Local Republicans
I did miss blogging. It helps me clear my head, mellows me out a bit, and it's just nice to communicate with people. During dinner and between meetings last week I would always start to wonder: Has Katie and Jeremy learned that the hip bone is connected to the leg bone yet? Has Crystal been totally Crystal Clear in her thinking? Has Sara wore in public that I "Heart" Reagan Shirt that I know she keeps in her bottom drawer? Where's Joann been and why am I not there instead of this hotel in Canton, OH? I looked at the little game controler on the hotel TV and thought "what the hell is that?" Joe would know. And out course, what pair of pumps is Madame Butterfly wearing? Finally, what does da Goddess think about all this democracy in Iraq?
Thanks all.
I have one big prediction in follow up to the Iraqi elections of last week. It's based on the fact that Israel seems to be the whipping boy for the left for the past 25 years. Oh sure, it is the only long time democratic outpost in the middle east - but they seem to think it's evil. I read an article somewhere by David Horowitz who laid the distain of the left on the fact that when Israel started out it was suppose to be a Socialist Utopia. When the went slightly rightward, the Left chucked them. Another reason was their leaning toward the USA stand during the Cold War. That did it.
On a similar basis, I think that for the next 25 years or so, Iraq is never going to get a break from the left. It's Bush's baby and anything Bush is bad. These memories are long. Afghanistan has been claimed by all and it will be lauded. Iraq is going to be picked apart for every and anything that goes wrong like an unwanted bastad child that was left on the doorstep of an already unhappy family.
No article in the Challenger this week, but I did dash off a quick letter to the editor. Now this diatribe against a Republican will get me in trouble. Here and here are the original articles I responded to. For those of you who don't remember, I am the former vice-chair of the Republican party and an acquintance with those involved. They are very nice people and I stepped down for business and family reasons. But my own State Senator Katie Stine led the effort to seat the lady I don't think should have been seated. She always has a friendly word and has invited me into her home several times.
Let's see if I get a phone call from anyone on this. tee-hee.
Stay You.
