Stupid stupid stupid

So I keep meaning to post pics of the uber-goth wedding we went to over the weekend, but I keep forgetting that the camera is still in my wife's car, and she keeps having to drive really far away for meetings and the like. So I'll post those on Flickr and here when I get a chance. Suffice to say it was a lot of fun, and I haven't had an excuse to break out the goth gear since I moved away from Denver (nobody has a "goth night" in Oklahoma).

Remember back in this post when I said I would vote for McCain if the GOP put him up? Well that's out the window. Yesterday, McCain, playing the Rove card, said it was all Clinton's fault that North Korea detonated a nuclear weapon.

"I would remind Senator (Hillary) Clinton and other Democrats critical of the
Bush administration's policies that the framework agreement her husband's
administration negotiated was a failure,"

This seems to be the new rallying cry of the republicans. Even though it has been 6 years since Bush took office, and four since all three branches of the government were put under GOP control. You would think they could have done something about it during that time. Constantly blaming Clinton is a total cop-out, and they know it. The sad thing is that a vast majority of the populace will believe them,because they are too lazy to look into the situation. Well, I did. Turns out that Clinton'ss policies were working just fine until 2002 (the same year Bush gave them 95 million dollars). The deal was that they would stop making plutoniumm. Bush cut off talks when he found out they were enrichingg uranium instead. A dick move on North Korea's part. But from 1994 to 2002, they did not produce any weapons grade material, never tested a bomb, and allowed IAEA inspectors into their facilities. When Bush walked away in 2002, it allowed them to start up the plutonium production again, kick out the inspectors, and continue the uranium enrichment, and spend the 95 mil on whatever they wanted, not on food for the poor. How is that Clinton's fault? Truth is, just like with 9/11, this happened on your watch, republicans. You should have seen it coming. Here is what Kerry said (the first concise, intelligent thing he has said in a long time):

"The truth is the Clinton administration knew full well they didn't have a
perfect agreement. But at least they were talking. At least we had inspectors
going in and we knew where the (nuclear fuel) rods were. This way, we don't know
where the rods are, the rods are gone. There are no inspectors. Ask any American
which way is better," Kerry said.

So why the paradigm shift, Mr. McCain? Could it be that you don't think the party faithful will put up a centrist? Is that why you gave the commencement speech at Falwell's Liberty University this year, after bashing him and his ilk six years ago? Turning away from your ideals for votes is a quick way to loose the center, the independentss like me. Bad move.

Once again, off the soapbox! Back to work!
