That's three degrees away from freezing, folks. Welcome to Minnesota. When I went outside for lunch today I was shocked, shocked to discover there was cold weather going on in this state.
Gee, I wonder if the presidential candidates will be "swinging" through here again?
I hereby declare this the most miserable day of 2004! (So far).
Reader wonders - why did you post this?
Answer: I always wanted to "hereby declare" something. Plus, we Minnesotans are always looking for an excuse to blog about the weather.
Senator Kerry calls this a "tragic milestone," and the most catastrophic of the administration's mistakes made so far. Regardless of his mistakenly voting for the war at the time, he's right. For him to turn against the Iraq war is a flip-flop I would be happy with. Hopefully he has an exit strategy, even though he's not telling us about it at the moment.
This is why Bush must be defeated in November. I realize the economy is an important issue, but compared to 1000++ dead soldiers? Come on. Not to mention 7,000++ wounded, and the 11,000++ estimated by the Iraq Body Count . This is a slam dunk, as George Tenet would say.
Prediction: if Bush is [re]elected, the U.S. will engage in pre-emptive war against Iran and/or North Korea. Is that really what we want?
