Things that annoy me:

People who have assumed that politics has nothing to do with them for the last decade or so, but suddenly get all het up because we invaded Iraq and start shooting their mouths off. They promptly undermine (and often drown out) the sensible and thoughtful anti-war voices, allowing the reflexive pro-war types to reduce the debate to the "Huh. Huh. They're dumb." level.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to find anything approaching sensible, thoughtful debate on occupied Iraq and it's annoying the hell out of me.

And now, back to your regularly scheduled life trivia

well, there's a lot on both sides flying, so don't take it too personal ;-)

Heck, at least you've got discourse-

Here in the States you can't even hint at opposition without the Right-Wing attack dogs calling you unpatriotic. It's getting better, as people find a collective voice, but the current administration is still getting largely a free pass by the media and the public. :(

He shouldn't, because it wasn't aimed at him.

I'm working on a longer post on the topic.
