Cramps

And the Slope gets Slippier

I started this news line at Upwords, but I think I will continue it here. The CBC is reporting that Al-Sadr's Shia militia has got a town to themselves now, establishing an alternative gov't.

I am surprised by the seemingly sudden outing of the Bush administration's failure by itself. While folks have been talking about the failure of occupation in Iraq, I haven't seen enough pressure to crack the nut of the Bushites. But, alas, here it is.

Similarly, I keep hearing that folks are unhappy with the Republicans and are going to knock them outta power this midterm election. The Left should be wary of battles won too easily.
