Ten Post Round-Up: War On Everything Edition

Doesn’t it seem like we are always at war with something, if not with someone? The “War on Terror”, aside, we also have the “War on Drugs” (or rather, the people who use them), the “Mommy Wars” (where apparently, stay-at-home moms are an affront to working moms and vice versa) and a war on just about everything that was meant to be enjoyed (like food or adult entertainment).

In an ideal world, I’d like to buy the world a Coke and then lob the empties at the idiots who like to keep the rest of us in a heightened state of anxiety by sucking the life and love out of everything under the sun.

Of course, in reading today’s Ten Post Round-Up, you will find that not all wars are bad, while most still make the world a difficult, if not, scary place to live.

• Yes, Virginia, there are some mommies who stay home, rather than go to work, because of the kids, not despite them (Dizzy is proud to say that she is one of them).

• McCain appears to be in some hot water over the speech he gave regarding the Russo-Georgia conflict.

• Speaking of the the Russo-Georgia confrontation, The Russians have apparently called the whole thing off. But, at the time of this posting, apparently the word hadn’t gotten to everyone.

• Australia may have cracked the case in the war on cancer.

• Doesn’t it make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside to know that John Lennon’s killer gets conjugal visits while our brave soldiers are being poisoned?

• It’s just a tad irritating that law-abiding, homosexual citizens aren’t allowed to get married (in most states) while heterosexual perverts are allowed to wed with wild abandon?

• If famous deaths come in threes, it looks like somebody needs to watch their back. I don’t need to mention that the somebody in question actually played the namesake from the most recent dead person’s hit song of the same name (and just wrapped a movie with the two dead guys who triggered this thread). It’s a good thing I’m not superstitious!

• Sometimes, I have to ask myself, “how come sh** like this never happens in my neighborhood?”

• Do you think that the legacy that GWB is trying to leave will be called “The Age of Irony?”

• And, as if you thought that GWB and the boys weren’t doing enough for our troops, along comes the news that the VA is happy to make it more difficult for vets to register to vote.
