I talked to Soldier Son online today. He said “bunker down.” I said “what?” It seems they were warned that rockets might be going off near them. And even though the nut jobs weren’t necessarily aiming at them, their aim apparently sucks sometimes. And while we were having an absolutely lovely spring day (finally), I guess in Iraq it’s like 104 degrees in the shade. Just a couple of weeks ago, they were having cold rainy weather like we were. And now, in no time at all, it’s hot as hell. No wonder those people over there are pissed! Everything’s extreme. Extreme weather, extreme radicals, extreme religion. Why can’t they just get along? Our troops would gladly leave that hellhole.
Another thing that sucks is the crappy selection of presidential candidates. Hillary Clinton can’t tell the truth as sure as Bill Clinton can’t keep his pants zipped. It’s like a sickness with her. She thinks we’re all so stupid that we forget what just happened two weeks ago. And talk about sick! How about Barack Obama’s ability to fool so many people with his polished rhetoric. He WILL end the war! Has anybody found out yet just HOW he plans to do that? And why is it okay for him to stereotype white people by calling his bigoted grandmother a “typical white person.” Can you imagine if a white person had said something similar about any other group of people? And this guy is going to bring the country together? Please! And if McCain gets in, who knows how long the war will go on. But at least he won’t sabotage the economy the way the other two will.
So, while all these sucky things are going on, I took advantage of the weather and went for a mind-clearing 3-mile run.
