08/27/02 02:07 PM: What Are We Thinking?

I came across some horrific news today. We are not having the best of times on Wall Street. Bush wants to start a war without congressional approval. And the top news on MSN is that Lance Bass is going to space? Who are we kidding? We’re screwed as a country unless someone has the balls to make something happen that doesn’t involve war or killing people to make the news. Why don’t we do something constructive and rebuild the WTC instead of going off to war. I don’t like the idea that Bush can declare a war without Congress. The seperation of those powers were put there for a reason. Last time we did something like this was Vietnam. Think about it.

I like how the Onion infographic handles it.

“Even Brent Scowcroft is against this, and that guy spends his weekends pipebombing puppy kennels.”

“Well, I’m against it, but I’m probably in the minority, along with many Republicans, all non-Republicans, and the entire rest of the world.”

I know I’m sounding like Chicken Little, but come on people. Lance Bass? Is he be our only hope?
