The Green Post

Happy St. Patrick's Day Ya'll!

Well, now that I have that out of my system . . . In case you weren't properly enjoying your Monday I have two tidbits of news that will be sure to bring a spring to your step!

First, Clinton and Obama have agreed to another debate on April 16, in Philadelphia prior to the Pennsylvania primary. Oh joy! Oh rapture! Whatever will they talk about? Probably what they have been talking about for the previous 20 debates. I really don't know if I have the energy for another debate. Speaking of which, Obama has agreed to another possible debate, three days later in my home state of North Carolina. See, and you thought our primary wouldn't matter! Shame on you.


Second, does it send a shiver down anyone else's spine to know that Dick Cheney (and family) along with Republican nominee John McCain and two of his lap dogs, SC senator Lindsey Graham and Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman have been kicking up their heels together in Iraq?


And what did Darth Evil have to say about the past five years in Iraq? "If you look back on those five years it has been a difficult, challenging but nonetheless successful endeavor . . . and it has been well worth the effort."


Wonder if the almost 4,000 U.S. dead and the estimated 600,000 Iraqi dead (definitely more now, since the linked article is six months old) feel the same way as ole Dick?

Do you suppose mere mortals can get into the debates? I would jump through a zillion screening hoops to get in to see a(n?) NC debate.
