Fighting the War on Error

Is Iran next?

Will this bumper sticker prove true after all?

There's plenty of talk that it's a strong possibility. I haven't read enough about it yet to write at length, but I certainly will, soon.

You can bet your butt that if we do go to war with Iran, there will be a draft. We absolutely do not have the troops for operations anywhere else. If we do go to war in Iran though, Bush had better schedule the invasion or bombing around American Idol, because can you imagine the civil revolt if Fox broke into Idol programming with news of war?

I sincerely hope that people who constantly say, "I don't care about politics" are reconsidering their position. Because everyone should care, especially now, especially if there's a draft. If the draft is reinstated, you can bet everyone will care, fast.

The bumper sticker above, and many others, are available at CafePress, truly a cool Website. Check it out. I was there today, and they've got a whole menu of great new products.

A quick sample...

I love the one on the left *ahem*, but wouldn't a Cheney/Satan ticket be redundant? Okay, okay, I'm getting a bit carried away, but Dick scares me. Call me crazy, but I pray for the president's health on a daily basis, because heaven help us if Cheney were to become president. I can tell you one thing, though - there would be plenty of high fives at Halliburton headquarters. With a Cheney presidency, the new Hallie corporate slogan would write itself: "A no-bid contract in every pot."

I love this one, too. I kind of miss Tom DeLay, though. It was fun kicking him while he was down. This one would make a great t-shirt. After I sell my old computer monitor, maybe I'll spring for one. My car is about maxed out on bumper stickers. In fact, I may thin out the ranks soon. One of my stickers, "Don't blame me, I voted for Kerry" rings kind of hollow now that he's opted out of the '08 race.

Lastly, I found this one - ITMFA - which stands for "Impeach The Mother F----- Already." Too funny. We impeached President Clinton for a consensual affair, but Bush gets a pass on... a laundry list of crap.

I think impeachment should be a last resort, not a first one, but my point is that if Congress could wrongly go after Clinton for what he did, how's Bush get a pass?

It will be interesting to see how the I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby trial plays out. (I'll be blogging more about this over the weekend.)

Incidentally, I'm sooo sick and tired of the media saying his whole name. Who goes by the nickname "Scooter," anyway? That sounds like a nickname from the playground in fifth grade. Hey, I go by RJ, but, I have to pat myself on the back - it's a lot cooler than "Scooter." And what's with the "I"? I never get the whole first initial thing, like "H. Ross Perot." Why not just "Ross Perot?"

One of my favorite initialed-monikers is the football player R.W. McQuarters, a defensive back for the New York Giants. "RW" is a lot to say, but his full name is Reginald Willingham McQuarters II. (There's two?) Yikes. I'd go with "RW," too.

Okay, from now on, I'm R. Joseph "Moped" Corby.

Or not.
