Those three words appear at the bottom of my screen. Blogger wants me to add labels. Apparently my three readers... wait, Sanjay is telling me that I gained a new reader about two weeks ago, so, my four readers are having trouble finding my blog.
There has been a lot of discussion lately about many different things. Well, I'm here to say that I have no comment.
Good night, and my God bless.

Simple
Hillary Clinton has said that she voted to authorize the Iraq war based on the intelligence available to her at the time. Amazingly, this is the same reason that George W. Bush decided to push for the war.
The difference is, Hillary gets a pass because of it. Bush, according to certain sources, should be drawn and quartered for doing the same thing.

Unwarranted Rebuttal
The title here is intentionally off topic, as this post is neither unwarranted, nor a rebuttal, but is instead an agreement. Today, Robert over at Skewed put up a post saying that the electoral process in this country has come down to choosing the least crappy guy for the job. As much as I hate to say it, that's really the case.
On one hand you have a bunch of GOP apologists running around and saying that the administration is 100% right, 100% of the time. On the other hand, you have a bunch of left-wingers running about saying that every single member of the administration (even the White House janitor) should be brought up for investigation. And on the third hand of the genetic mutant you have a group of people like Robert and myself who really don't care. Honestly, if we cared any less, we just might die.
I think sometimes that the best thing we can do is replace everyone in DC and start over. The Declaration says we can do, in fact, we have an obligation to do it. But we'd rather listen to the talking heads telling us who is right and why.
We'd rather tolerate the endless investigations that the Democrat controlled congress is launching. Let's see... figure out the war without cluing the enemy into our plan? That's a good thing to work on. Stabilizing a fluctuating economy by equally distributing the tax burden and taking the weight of the low-lifes who aren't even trying off the backs of those who are? Another good idea. Investigate Cheney because he looks like a ticked off schnauzer? Not so great of an idea, but let's do it anyway. Scream and shout that we're going to impeach Bush? Not so hot, but it gets us camera time. Complain that an entire portion of the tax-paying demographic, a group who is carrying roughly 3% of the burden, yet constitutes roughly 45% of wage earners, is far too burdened by the current tax system, but that the wealthiest 1%, those already carrying over 20% of the tax burden, aren't paying enough? Bad idea, but it gets people to vote for us. (those figures are real, look it up, 45-50% of wage earners in this country carry only 3.6% of the tax burden, my numbers might be a bit off, but you get my meaning).
Topics like this make me glad to be a Libertarian.
Robert, we need to find the most qualified people for the jobs. Unfortunately, the most qualified people are usually the quietest, and therefore kinda hard to find...

I'll let you figure out the title. (Hint: it's a word game.) So a game: first one to tell me what the title means wins... uh... well, they get a free lesson from Rennie on how to do that triple-half-nelson, egg-beating exercise thing...
1. The Thrashers season is over. I'm not as sad as I thought I would be. We made the playoffs, but we got swept by the rangers. I'm okay with that. Now comes the fun of the off-season. What moves will Don Waddell make in order to keep this team on the rise? What would I like to see? Simple, Daniel Briere in a Thrashers sweater. I know it won't be easy to pull off, but there's always hope.
2. Prediction time.
Stanley Cup Finals: Anaheim over Buffalo in seven games.
NBA Finals: Phoenix over Chicago in six games.
3. Staying with sports for a moment, the Atlanta Braves continue their amazing start. They lead the division and currently have an 11-5 record, one of the best in the league. The amazing thing to me is that ESPN, in the MLB power rankings, continues to say that the Mets are better. So far, head to head, Atlanta has beaten the Mets three out of four games. Go figure...
4. Sanjay has been in a foul mood lately. He tried out for the last American Idol, and he thinks he actually would have made the show, but because of a filing error, the show allowed Sanjaya in and kept Sanjay out. Now Sanjay is very unhappy about the whole ordeal.
5. A note to all the rednecks out there who like to go muddin'. If you feel the need to drive your truck through a mudhole to feel more like a man, then at least have the common decency to wipe off your lights and mirrors when you finish, especially those lights on the back end of your vehicle, I hear they come in quite handy when stopping or making a turn.
6. Democrat Senate Majority leader Harry Reid (NV) made the most promising statement to come out of Washington in years. Reid found some facetime on the airwaves and stated, matter-of-factly, that the Iraq war was 'lost.' I'm sure, Mr. Reid, that our troops are very appreciative of your statement. I'm waiting on Reid and Kerry to team up with the Dixie chicks and make an album. The music videos could star Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, and Charlie Sheen.
I don't mind people having an opinion, in fact, that's what makes this country so great. It's when people complain that a man the graduate from Harvard is stupid that it begins to grate me. I'm not exactly the big W support lately, but I still think it's better we had him in office than either Kerry or Gore.
7. Last but definitely not least: Say a prayer for the VaTech families.
