Pop tarts, cappuccino, and war.

I actually took a bonafide break today at work. I almost never take actual breaks because I have too much to do and too little time to do it. Pop tart and coffee in hand, I sat in the upstairs break room where there is a big flat screen TV always tuned to CNN. Of course, the only thing they are talking about is the US military’s recent ‘campaign’ in Iraq. Operation Swarmer? Who comes up with these names?

Also noted, Bush’s job approval rating is now down to 37%. It got me wondering…what was Saddam’s job approval rating when Bush decided to blow up his country? I have a strong feeling here that it was above 37%. When will some other country take ‘pity’ on us as the US military does for other countries and come in and bomb him? Oh, right, no other head of state is as brash as our own. It makes me sad and ashamed to be an American.

I cut the break short because I just couldn’t watch anymore without getting sniffly and teary-eyed. The front page of this morning’s Sac Bee has pictures of dead kids piled on top of each other in a wagon or something. Seems our military ‘accidentally’ killed them.
