It just dawned on me, the absolutely brilliant tautology of Republican claims that Al Quaeda wants Kerry to win. If there is, as Cheney intones, likelihood of some big attack if Kerry wins, and there is another terrorist attack of any kind during his administration (which could, of course, include bombings in Iraq), they can say - see, we told you so. If there aren't any terrorist attacks during his administration, they could say, see, the terrorists really wanted Kerry to win. These are crazy times, and for the first time, I am truly, truly polarized, in a state of disbelief that any thinking human could think that Bush and his cronies are not bent on destroying the human race, regardless of their intent. I so want to have an interaction with some of the St. Louis wealthy elite to get a real take on this - to say, is this part of the strategy of a return to feudalism, a renewed stranglehold on the uppity peasants of the world, they ones you convince to vote for your party with your pictures of mangled fetuses and your bombing of places where people have darker skin? Ride on, you self-proclaimed apocalypse, ride on into your magestic armageddon, for Jesus is the only one who can save us, so burn, burn, burn the world away. 8:37:11 PM
