Bush's Poll Numbers Might Be Low, But Bush Doesn't Care Because Bush Can't Run for President Again and other fun facts...

Zarqawi was killed. Call me old fashioned, but when a terrorist leader who murders innocent people (including his own countrymen) is taken out, my first instinct is to smile.

I know, I know... WE are the real terrorists, and I mustn't let my excitement on this occasion of our military's success cloud my moral outrage. I must be outraged at all times and, when I am not outraged, I must argue with others -- who are also outraged -- as to the best methods to show our collective outrage and take this country back from those who don't seem quite so outraged.

Politics. The upcoming elections should be interesting. While the Democrats are still trying to find themselves, the Republicans are looking for the lowest common denominator issue (gay marriage? dang, didn't work...) to rally their base -- a base that, obviously, isn't fooled by this manuever.

Both major political parties are perpetually guilty of this fakey tactic, a tactic which I firmly believe shows that both care far more about gaining/regaining/keeping power than they do -- despite their platitudes otherwise -- about the country as a whole.

If there was some kind of pledge I could sign vowing to never to join either as long as I live, I'd sign it today. I'll be polite (well, mostly), and am willing to listen to anybody's ideas, but I have NEVER, EVER so loved being politically independent in my entire life.

I don't know why you sent me the copy of Oxford American, but thank you. It's a good issue, and it's always nice to get surprises in the mail.

Work continues on the OTOH DVD. The next editing session at the Lazy Bear bunker will take place next Tuesday. I am working on a few segments at home in the meantime, including the music video for "The East Ridge Song." I'd offer it up to Bailes as a campaign theme, but I think it would prove counterproductive. I enhanced the audio (read: added slight reverb) yesterday, and may (due to repeated requests) make the mp3 available for download next week.

The idea of a viewing party to celebrate the DVD's "release" is being bandied about right now. Maybe just a "friends and family" of the show kind of thing. Maybe we can even get Megs to sing his Valentine's Day song. I'm still shooting for a late June completion date. We're getting close to completion.
