Old Post One -War

First written on Tuesday, March 18, 2003.
I walked away from Bush's speech last night when he said (I can't find it) It was just too much for me. I went out on my porch and looked at the moon, and I thought "it's a full moon tonight, that's supposed to be ideal for attacking." Therebwas a cloud next to the moon that really looked like an upside down face. I tried to get a photo of it with the camera, but it didn't work out. I was trying to decide if it was an image of a god, looking down on us. Perhaps it was Aries, the God of War. Perhaps it was Hades doing the body count, and trying to figure out how big a boat Charon would need tomorrow. Maybe it was the Christian God, appearing upside down, turning his face away. Maybe it was just clouds making a face at me ;)
Note how depressed and angry the US feels today. Yesterday the dow was up more than 200 points before Bush opened his mouth. I wonder how low it will get today? Is this some conspiracy to repress the middle class by shrinking their 401K's?
