Globe and Mail headline today: Contrite Bush Pledges Increased Troops in Iraq

How exactly is that contrite? Yes, he says he is sorry for getting into this mess, which only 20% of Americans currently support, so instead of bringing the troops home, he is going to send MORE and EXTEND the stays of troops currently there. This is not withdrawal, it is not even just staying the course, it is acceleration. "Where mistakes have been made, the responsibility rests with me," he said, and his current strategy is to continue making those mistakes, but to make them BIGGER. He does not have the support of Congress, of Americans, nor the Iraqi government. And America is democratic. Ahem.

In other news, my boyfriend bought a Nintendo. He currently owns one game: Star Trek. Please join me in mocking him.

One more day of work. Still facing unemployment on Monday, despite all my best efforts. Hello, depression.
