Keepin it Real

All right! Good ol' USA did it again in Falluja ! Now that that whole insurgency thing is done with the American troops will be home in a few weeks. Maybe NOW Bush can do the whole "Mission Accomplished" navy boat show again. "U.S. Lieutenant-General John Sattler declared on Thursday his forces had "broken the back of the insurgency". . . [but] Washington says Zarqawi probably escaped from Falluja." They are trying to pass it off as a clean mission with few civilian casualties, but we know there were as many as 50,000 civilians who couldn't leave the city, and there were thousands of shells that were poured into the city. I find it hard to believe those 50,000 civilians were having picnics, shopping, or going to the movies. No, they were dieing. Or asking God what kind of world it is that He created to only see it turn to Hell. Yeah,"We sure liberated the hell out of that place.". . .

I was going to go off about all that, but you either know all about it, or you don't want to. Ah well. Lets just distract ourselves with mind-numbing reality TV instead.
Tonight is Survivor and Apprentice night. Nothing trumps Television tonight. If I have work to do (this is the last weekend on the quarter so I DO have work to do) it can get done in front of the boob tube. Wasn't it Thomas Jefferson who said, "I've done all my best work with the TV on!"?

Yes. Yes, it was.

Also, it is a little known fact that Hemmingway wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls while watching RoadRules - Season 2.
