There were no primaries this week so a lot of talkers either took the week off or rehashed some old tired topics.  Some were talking about the Middle East Peace Talks, (as if there was anything new to talk about); others talked about the nut job that hated the Discovery Channel; there was a brief word or two about the newest oil rig explosion; some shit about housing starts or stops or interest rates; Ryan’s lyin’…or not; and of course, the weather.

I just returned from a breath-taking Adirondack mountain lake where news, cell service and the www don’t go, and I really have nothing to talk about.  Except…that I am now waiting with child-like anticipation for the Iraqi’s response to our President’s directive in his end-of-the-war speech, beseeching them to “form a just, representative and accountable” government.  Then, all we have to do is copy it.
