Sunday, 3 December 06 :: umm.. duh?

i saw this headline:
Two days before he resigned as defense secretary, Donald H. Rumsfeld submitted a classified memo to the White House that acknowledged that the Bush administration’s strategy in Iraq was not working and called for a major course correction.

at nytimes yesterday and my first thought was 'umm, yeah. thats what the (lefty) activists have been saying all along.'

seriously. first the national media is all up in arms about patriot act infringements on our civil liberties, then they are making a big deal about guantanamo, and now this? if they'd listened to the (lefty) activists a few years ago we could have saved a lot of grief, and billions of dollars. really.

and do you wonder why i'm so afraid of peak oil? because the (lefty, do i need to say it more?) activists are saying it, and while my head may be in the sand, the reason its in the sand is because, in the end, i know the (LEFT) activits are always right.

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
