Here it is, 4:00, and I'm just now getting on LJ. It's been a weird, hectic day.

I have a Comcast gripe to relate, but I don't have the time right now. Busy day at work. (Make that half-day. I'll explain later.)

In the meantime, chew on this:

“When we all sit together, the groups of this city, it’s something new. You’ll be surprised. Something really very new. We have not started it yet.

“If I talk about it, it won’t be a surprise,” the shopkeeper added. “And you won’t see the beauty of it.”

The over-all feeling of the article makes the people sound like they are desperate and extremely bitter. They also sound as if they feel unrepresented, not free at all. Why is there no news about the Iraqi governing council trying to reach out to these people and hear their grievances instead of preparing to anhilate them?

They seem like Hobbits about to wage war against the armies of Mordor with a stockpile of Gandolf's fireworks as their secret weapon. It makes me sad.
