We've all heard this quote:
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Today I heard an awesome adaptation to suit the current administration:
Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.
Nice.

Makena's 2mo Doctor's Apt!
She's perfectly healthy, but the vaccines she got today did not make her very happy. In fact, the screaming was something to behold, not to mention the shade of red she turned.
Here are her stats:
Head size 50th percentile
Weight 90th percentile at 12lbs 9oz
Length 95th percentile at 24.25 inches
Well, at least we know she's getting enough to eat ;).

Why are we so concerned with winning the war?
The GOP is boasting that their candidate(s) won't stand for the US losing a war and that the Dems have a "defeatist" attitude towards Iraq. To that I say, and? Who's keeping score of war wins and losses anyways? Is there some kind of prize later that I'm not aware of? Do presidents get bonuses for declaring "mission accomplished"? This is not a football game! What's going on here? Am I going crazy? Do they not even have to talk about why we're still at war despite being less safe now than we were when we started this insanity? Is there no accountability in this country? No, let's just ignore injustice, chant "U-S-A", and all will be well. We've become a nation of war mongering Frat boys.
Do you know how much alternative energy and healthcare you can buy for 2 trillion dollars? Well, I can't tell you because we burned all that money in Iraq.
I might be oversimplifying things, but I see is 80K in US debt per household, 10s of thousands of bodies in Iraq and no end in sight. This has to stop, it's madness.
