Okay.

I’m trying to work, and the type of work I do these days consists primarily of clicking and typing and every now and then having a thought. In between thoughts, I need some sort of amusement to keep me from getting bored and wandering away from my keyboard and out into the street.

Point: MY GOD, this has to be the worst TV day in all of history. There’s nothing on the tube other than a whole bunch of karate flicks, TLC specials, and soldiers in uniforms marching all over graves. Dozens of channels and not a single sitcom, drama series, worthy documentary, or non-combat flick.

I’ve been trying to get decent TV for hours as I work. No luck. Watching this sleeping dog as I type is more interesting.

Is NYC really the right place for this person? On the other hand, is any place really the right place?

It’s one thing to refuse to fight as an advocate of peace. It’s quite another to relentlessly advocate and support military action without being willing to put your own life on the line.

This memorial day, while you consider the morality of the Iraq war, consider also how to “remember” those who have fought hardest to make it happen, but who have fought nowhere else (thanks to the Kos):

President George W. Bush – scammed his way out of active duty
Arch-evil Advisor Karl Rove – did not serve
Vice President Dick Cheney – did not serve
Assistant I. Lewis Scooter Libby – did not serve
Secretary of State Condaleeza Rice – did not serve
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist – did not serve
Speaker of the House House Dennis Hastert – did not serve
Former House Majority Leader Tom Delay – did not serve
House Majority Whip Roy Blunt – did not serve
Majority Whip Mitch McConnell – did not serve
Hawkish Senator Rick Santorum – did not serve
Conservative Icon Rush Limbaugh – did not serve
Conservative Icon Sean Hannity – did not serve
Hawkish Talking Head Pat Buchanan – did not serve
Bratty, Vacuous Bitch Ann Coulter – did not serve
Hawkish Talking Head Ralph Reed – did not serve
Hawkish Talking Head Bill O’Reilly – did not serve
Hawkish Talking Head Michael Savage – did not serve
Hawkish Neocon Theorist Bill Kristol – did not serve

These people want to trade your babies and your lives to line their pocketbooks. They aren’t willing to die to make their profit, but they’re willing to have everyone else die.

Basically, they’re evil.

Oh, and Ann Coulter’s a bratty, vacuous bitch.
