No, I’m not dead, although there were a few times yesterday when I wished I was. My temp was hovering between 100 and 101 most of the day and my heart was beating faster than a hummingbird’s. Throw in some nausea and you have a block-rockin’ party going on inside me. I feel a bit more with it today. I can actually formulate coherent sentences, as opposed to staring at my screen in a semi-comatosed state. If this follows the usual course of other respiratory infections I’ve had, things should start clearing up in the next day or two.
Speaking of things that will turn your stomach, the photos depicting Coalition forces abusing Iraqi prisoners are truly disgusting. People of Iraq, meet your liberators. The road to democracy is a long one and a few of you will get fucked (literally) along the way, but that’s the price of freedom. Bush can’t be too happy with this latest public relations blunder. We have managed to give the Arab and Muslin worlds yet another reason to despise us and I can’t imagine Bush will make a big effort to do damage control. And this isn’t important, but who were the geniuses that took these photos in the first place? Are they completely ignorant of this thing called the Internet?
Thanks for posting those photos, I missed the TV show and didn’t get a chance to see them.This is what war does to people.
