here we go again

okay, as i was sitting in saxbys this morning reviewing my slides for my presentation (i need coffee today as i was too amped up last night to sleep), i caught a glimpse on the television of hillary clinton claiming that iran is a serious threat. after getting a mop out of the closet to clean up my mess from dropping coffee all over myself, i still am in awe of the audacity of this move. 

president bush addressed his growing concerns for the possibility of iran (working together with russia perhaps) to become a more hostile nation, and perhaps a future "target" of military force. i remember thinking that bush was going to get slammed for that, and sure enough he did. i also remember that one of the things i found most interesting about clinton's campaign was that she also believed that force might be necessary in iran, and she too, was slammed. however, i hear nothing out of the mouths of the current administration, which previously believed thusly.

so, i wonder what b.o.'s response will be. we just had the secretary of state publicly claim that iran may be a serious threat and may warrant our response. of course, she probably means sanctions and wrist slaps (the typical liberal response of course), but then again, this could set the stage for a showdown between the department of state and the white house. i for one would welcome it, because maybe (okay- i know i'm stretching this way too much, because we all know it would never happen)- but just maybe, some actual journalism will occur and people will stop giving b.o. a free pass on everything he does. maybe someone will actually do something with their paycheck (hey- if you don't want it, i'll take it!) and report the facts and not some imaginary version of what's really going on.

i think i lost it a bit there at the end. eh- screw it. i'm working on my slides now.
