Democrats are really irritating me!

So after spending the whole morning looking at stuff for class for the next couple days (i.e., murderous dictators and fun with the evolution debate), I ended up spending a good chunk of the afternoon watching political debates on tv instead of getting reading done, having picked up a book, read the same paragraph six times, and realizing that none of it was making any sense (and this a non-theory, regular, normal piece of criticism written in a relatively clear style - something I'm evidently no longer used to). It's taken me a week now to get through Boethius and I'm still not finished. I at least have a meeting with David on Monday, so that should help jumpstart my pathetic butt at some point in the next few days.

We got a half an inch of snow on Sunday (YAY!!!) and were supposed to get an inch this afternoon and evening, except that the snow is all way west and way east of us, and directly north as well, and we've had about 7 minutes of flurries. So I'm not holding my breath. But the humidity went up, so maybe if we get some it will hit the ground...

I have ballet in an hour and a half and am passionately uninterested in going. I'm going more because I think the exercize would be beneficial to my otherwise languid mental state. Blah. And I'm crampy, so this should be fun ;.)

As for the title of the post, Arlen Specter (R, from my current state) finally bitch-slapped Bush verbally by asking him on the Senate floor just exactly why it was that he (Bush) could be the sole "decider" on Iraq and all other military policies, when the Constitution quite clearly states otherwise... were we lucky and living in a real democracy, the idiots that just got elected would get off of their lazy, scared little butts and either get an impeachment trial going, or at least figure out what they're going to do to get us out of an incredibly unpopular war without letting Iraq blow up in flames any moreso than it already has. "Nonbinding" resolutions completely fail to impress me. Try doing something "binding" for once.

I'm glad I'm registered independent. At least I'm not theoretically (or in fact, for that matter) supporting any of these idiots.
