Burned out.

You may have noticed that I haven't written in a while. For the millions of followers of my blog, I am sorry.

I think I will take a break for some time to compose myself.

I do have a lot on my mind, but I can't coherently write it yet.

Stay tuned, hopefully soon, for more of my thoughts.

What's my message?

I have a few things on my mind, as I always do. Hundreds of things, really, but I’ll try to summarize things.

A no fly zone has been established over Libya. The threat to the civilians was too much for the west to handle. Even though a civil war is waging in the Ivory Coast…and Yemen, Bahrain, and Syria have also violently suppressed peaceful demonstrations? Must we forget how we did squat in Rwanda and Zimbabwe is the unhappiest nation on earth because of their own crazy dictator? I think the state department/military just throws a dart at a map to see which nation it wants to help/invade.

Libya has always been a thorn in our side, but now we are finally able to do something about it. Liberals and conservatives are actually pretty divided on this, the first time in a while that opinions are not based purely on party lines. Actually, I was surprised that John Kerry was so supportive of intervention, being the terrorist loving peacenik that he was portrayed as in 2004.

Republican hopefuls Newt Gingrich, Michelle Bachmann, and Sarah Palin (naturally) are speaking out against Obama because he is Obama and everything he does is wrong. Don’t you wish they would be consistent, or just, you know, shut up? First they complain nothing is being done and that Obama is dragging his feet, and then they complain when he does establish a no fly zone as “Congress was not informed”, “We have no goal” and “We shouldn’t be there, even though I said we should two weeks ago”. I don’t recall Palin offering what should be our mission in Libya, just that she wanted us in there.

Libyan No Fly Zone: where consistency and logic go to die! Like they had any consistency to begin with!

Maybe I’ll get into more detail later. Or I’ll continue to just argue with myself at work and hope I don’t actually say something out loud. Really, I hope no one hears me. Even my thoughts are sick of my thoughts!
