Sun Eve

Just a real quick note, having returned from a whirlwind trip to Amherst and the Connecticut Shore.  A rejuvenating three days--spiritually and intellectually, if not physically!  New England is just a great, great place.

So, now (catching up on three days' worth of newspapers) we have to send missiles into Syria to uphold Obama's, er America's "credibility?"  Obama goes shooting off his mouth in a misguided statement about "a red line," from which he's now backing down?  And we are going to kill how many people (more than any gas attack, a gas attack from we don't really know whom?) because the President can't afford to lose face? And they called George W. Bush "a cowboy!"

Over the weekend, when I made a face at an obvious Obama-supporter, he snorted (in the way that only the effetely self-righteous can snort), "You didn't like Bush, did you?"  I replied, "Nope."  While a somewhat confused look came upon this guy's face (I didn't know him before Sat eve and don't remember his name even), I blurted, "I don't like either one...because neither one should have got anywhere near the White House except as tourists."

"American credibility is on the line" my foot!  And most of this talk is coming from people who, before Obama, were the doviest of the doves.  If matters weren't so serious about all of these things, their hypocrisy (willful or not) would be laughable.

Bath time for the kids--all three in school tomorrow AM.
