i was walking to work this morning (more like striding angrily, or purposefully; or in fact, if one could walk shrilly, that's probably what i was doing), all pissed off and shrilly about this article, and was totally prepared to write the shrillest post EVER, and reveal my enormous amount of bush hatred to the world (it's even more than you thought!), and tell everyone that THIS is why i'm not voting for bush, not because i think kerry can handle iraq any better at this point (i mean, let's face it, iraq is so beyond help) but that kerry would never use fucking TROOPS as campaign flacks and totally just give the insurgents extra months to prepare in key cities that we need to take over to ensure that elections go decently JUST SO IT DOESN'T AFFECT HIS CHANCES OF WINNING THE PRESIDENCY JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WHAT THE HELL ACTUALLY RUNS THROUGH BUSH'S HEAD ON A DAILY BASIS I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE BUT I SURE WOULD LIKE TO GET MY HANDS ON SOME OF THE DRUGS HE MUST BE TAKING.

shrill enough?

and then i was all like, i am fucking going to EXPLODE if this sort of shit happens in regards to iran if we are ever in a military thing with that country because i was all talking to my brother this weekend and he was all like hellz yeah everyone thinks something is going to happen there and by the way did you know that iran has lots of diesel submarines and it's totally likely that i could be deployed to the straits of hormuz and remember that we've mos def had naval confrontations with iran before and they've actually got a functioning military and so i'm thinking if bush thinks he can be all not using troops including kids like my brother in the best manner possible to ensure that we win shit just so he comes off looking better in the political arena and he's cool with risking their safety and doesn't mind giving insurgents more time to prepare for battles against us even at the risk of the iraqi elections not going smoothly in january and people are still okay with this then, well, we are truly inhabiting a bizarro world and i think i'm going to go have to live in a shack in yellowstone park or something and start eating SQUIRRELS and learning how to carve bathroom fixtures out of pine wood.

but then i got to work and was all like eh i don't feel like being that shrill. so i won't.
